CLEVELAND — Grady Sizemore is ready and raring to play. Now it’s up to the Indians when that happens.
Sizemore could be activated from the disabled list in the next two days and return to the lineup after being sidelined for nearly a year after having microfracture surgery on his left knee. On Saturday, Indians manager Manny Acta would not give a specific day when Sizemore will officially be back.
Sizemore hasn’t played in the majors since May 16, when he injured the knee sliding back to first base in Baltimore and had season-ending surgery that threatened his career.
Footnotes.
