Matt LaPorta (ankle) is no longer planning to join the Indians this weekend for batting practice. LaPorta was scheduled to meet up with the Tribe on Friday in Cincinnati to participate in team workouts, but he's still feeling discomfort in his sprained right ankle. The first baseman will try again Monday, when the Indians return home. He is aiming to return around the All-Star break.
