Akron RubberDucks News Release


The Aeros made a roster move today as IF Asdrubal Cabrera was received from Class A Mahoning Valley on a Major League rehab assignment.

Cabrera is currently on the MLB 60-day disabled list after fracturing his left forearm while making a play in the infield on May 17th at Tropicana Field against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 24-year-old shortstop then returned to action with the short-season Class A Mahoning Valley Scrappers Monday night and finished 2-for-6 at the plate in two contests with a walk, a double and two RBI. In 33 games played earlier this season with the Indians, Cabrera was batting .287 with 16 runs scored. He owns a .287 batting average over the course of four years and 323 contests with the Cleveland Indians after originally earning the promotion in 2007. A native of Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela, he began 2007 with the Aeros where he batted .310 with eight home runs in 96 games and also appeared on a rehab assignment at Canal Park for four games during the 2009 season. The Indians originally acquired Cabrera in a trade with the Seattle Mariners organization in 2006.

An updated roster and transactions list are attached. Major League rehab assignments do not affect minor league rosters and the Akron roster currently stands at the full 24 men + 1 on the disabled list + 1 rehab assignment. Cabrera will be wearing his usual #13 and starting tonight at 7:05 p.m. for the Aeros against the Erie SeaWolves while IF Carlos Rivero will now be wearing #16.
