Cleveland Indians

Perez entered the game in the top of the ninth in a 6-all tie. Unfortunately, it didn't stay tied for long as Endy Chavez clubbed a 0-1 pitch over the right-field wall for a home run to lead off the inning. Perez walked two more batters in the inning, but limited the damage to one run. He struck out two in the ninth and has recorded at least one strikeout in all 16 appearances this season.

Stubbs's third three-hit game of the season bumped his batting average to .255. His triple was his first of the year.

Swisher was placed on the paternity list Tuesday and missed the game against the Tigers. He is batting .274 on the season for the Indians with six homers and 16 RBI. 

Jimenez (3-3) took the loss as he allowed six earned runs on seven hits and three walks. He threw 96 pitches, 58 for strikes, and struck out three. His ERA is 6.04.

He had given up two or fewer runs in four-straight outings, winning three of them, before Wednesday. He does have 47 Ks over 44 2/3 innings. He'll look to bounce back Monday at Cincinnati.

Santana had just his third multi-hit game in May Wednesday. He's batting .200 (14 for 70) with three home runs, four doubles, six RBI, 12 runs and 13 walks in 20 May games.

Brantley is having a productive May, batting .338 (25 for 74) with a home run, a double, 10 runs and 15 RBI in 21 games (18 starts).

In 18 May games, Kipnis is batting .324 with two triples, six doubles, six home runs and 20 RBI.

"It's definitely frustrating," Marson said. "I know what it is and kind of what I have to do. Hopefully, I can get on the field soon."

But if a best-case scenario for Gomes is a backup catcher role, the 25-year-old doesn't have much utility in Fantasy.

Granted, the Indians' starting catcher, Carlos Santana, often sees time at first base and DH, so Gomes would play more than the average backup catcher, but we're talking no more than two or three starts per week.

If you play in an AL-only league where each team starts two catchers, pick him up. Otherwise, leave him alone.

Masterson allowed seven hits and five walks, while striking out 20. He had a complete-game shutout against the Yankees. 

The right-hander has a three-game winning streak. He has a 1.17 ERA and .139 opponents' batting average in that span.

Myers is 0-3 with an 8.02 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 21 1/3 innings this season.

McAllister hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in a start this season and has a 2.89 ERA in 56 innings over nine starts. He'll take on the Reds in Cincinnati Tuesday.

"It's going great," Raburn told MLB.com. "It's not something I haven't ever done before. It's not an easy task, but it's definitely something that I believe is giving me the ability to stay around and give me some time in the big leagues."

Raburn came into play Monday against the Mariners hitting .298 with a .512 slugging percentage in 26 games (22 starts). He added to his totals Monday with a three-run homer in his first at-bat.

"Anytime I'm in the lineup, I'm amped," Raburn said. "I love playing this game. I love playing with this team. I look forward to every moment I get a chance to go out there and try to help the ballclub."

Kazmir, who struck out two, got off to a rocky start as Seattle scored twice in the first inning. Cleveland surged to a 4-2 lead in the second inning, but it was short lived as Kazmir allowed Seattle to tie the game in the third inning. Cleveland took another lead in the bottom of the inning only for Kazmir to let Seattle tie it up again in the top of the fourth.

The left-hander has allowed at least four runs in three of his six starts. His ERA climbed from 5.33 to 6.35 Monday. His next scheduled start is for Saturday at Boston.

Nick Swisher is not in the team's lineup for family reasons, and will be replaced by Mark Reynolds, opening a spot for Giambi. Giambi will DH and hit seventh against Tigers pitcher Max Scherzer. 

Cabrera is batting .273 (21 for 77) with a .506 slugging percentage, a triple, two home runs, 10 RBI and 11 runs in 20 May games.
