Indians placed C Lou Marson on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation. Marson had just returned from the DL a few days ago after missing a couple weeks with a strained neck. It's not clear how long he'll be out this time. Yan Gomes has replaced him on the roster.

Indians activated C Lou Marson from the 15-day disabled list. An expected move. Marson suffered a cervical neck strain in a home plate collision earlier this week, but he's ready to return as Carlos Santana's backup. Yan Gomes has been sent back to Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding roster move.

Lou Marson (neck) will be activated from the disabled list on Wednesday. Marson will finish up his rehab assignment and rejoin the big club on Tuesday before being activated the next day. He'll return to being Carlos Santana's backup.

Lou Marson (neck) could be activated Wednesday. Marson has been on a rehab assignment for five days and is reporting no issues with his neck. He will serve as the primary backup to Carlos Santana once activated.

Lou Marson (neck) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday night with Triple-A Columbus. Marson landed on the disabled list last week with a cervical neck strain. He won't be eligible to return until the middle of next week.

Indians placed C Lou Marson on the 15-day disabled list with a cervical neck strain. Marson suffered the injury Saturday on a nasty collision at home plate with the Rays' Desmond Jennings. There is no timetable for his return to the active roster.

Lou Marson left Saturday's game against the Rays after a home-plate collision with Desmond Jennings in the third inning. The 26-year-old suffered a cervical neck strain on the play. Carlos Santana was probably going to start the bulk of the games at catcher for the Tribe this season anyway, so if Marson's injury turns out to be serious it likely doesn't change the team's plans much. Consider Marson day-to-day until we hear more.

Lou Marson is currently sidelined with the flu. Indians manager Terry Francona described it as "intestinal turmoil." Marson will be fine in a few days.

Indians avoided arbitration with C Lou Marson by agreeing to a one-year, $1 million contract. Marson, who was arbitration-eligible for the first time, has batted just .216/.304/.290 over the last three seasons in Cleveland. He will again serve as Carlos Santana's backup in 2013.

Lou Marson returned to action on Friday June 1.
