Angel Martinez (foot) has been placed on the 10-day IL ahead of Tuesday's game in Milwaukee.
Fantasy Impact
There was some hope that Martinez might be able to avoid the IL, but that has not turned out to be the case. This is certainly a blow to the Cleveland lineup, as the 24-year-old has combined 11 homers with nine steals through 66 games this season. Petey Halpin has been recalled in a corresponding move.
