Cleveland Indians left-hander Brad Hand was sent back to Cleveland on Wednesday for an MRI. Adam Cimber picked up the save against the Angels in Hand's absence.

Fantasy Impact: The team hasn't indicated what Hand's injury is, although they did report that the MRI came back clean. Supposedly Hand wasn't bouncing back after throwing the way he normally does. The team is expected to continue to evaluate Hand but he appears to be okay.
