The Cleveland Indians were forced to do some roster shuffling Tuesday because of two injuries to key players.

Swisher was injured Monday hitting the first base bag and left the game in the eighth inning. He also missed two games last week with a sore right knee.

The 33-year-old isn't living up to expectations through 49 games, batting .211 with three home runs and 19 RBIs.
