Shields was removed from Monday's game against the Indians with a right knee contusion, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shields limped off the field with a trainer after being drilled by a comebacker in the seventh inning Monday. The good news is initial X-rays came back negative, so he may not be forced to miss his next turn in the rotation. Consider him day-to-day for now; his status will likely become clearer as he does some work in between starts.
