Swisher (knee) is unlikely to travel with the Indians for next week's series against the Royals, MLB.com reports. The team wants Swisher to play in three consecutive rehab games before he joins the big-league roster. He'll play for Triple-A Columbus on Friday and Saturday, but will then return to Cleveland to meet with manager Terry Francona and the medical staff. It thus seems Swisher is on track to join the Indians for next weekend's series against the Twins, though the possibility of a return earlier in the week hasn't entirely been ruled out.
