Indians placed 1B Matt LaPorta on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right ankle. We have yet to hear if an MRI revealed ligament damage, but obviously the ankle is bad enough that LaPorta will require a couple weeks of down time. We'll update his status once a timetable for a return is established. LaPorta will take a .242/.309/.424 batting line with eight homers to the DL. Carlos Santana figures to see a lot of time at first base over the next couple weeks, with Lou Marson getting time behind the dish.
