If everything goes according to plan, the hole in the Cleveland Indians' infield should be plugged with the return of shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, who is expected back in the lineup as soon as Sunday.
Francona: Cabrera (back) felt improved today, increased activity. Should be available off bench Saturday & possible return to lineup Sunday.

Cabrera has been out of action since Tuesday due to back spasms. In his stead, infielder Jose Ramirez has been filling the gap.
Having Cabrera healthy should provide a boost to Cleveland's already strong offense. The 28-year-old has a triple slash line of .247/.308/.392 in 94 games this season, good for wRC+ of 97.
