Raburn will remain out of the lineup for the third straight game Sunday against the Twins, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.

Though Raburn now appears to be over the illness that caused him to miss a week of action, he's only expected to enter the lineup against left-handed pitching over what's left of the season. Jerry Sands has been seeing increased at-bats at DH and other spots in the Indians' lineup of late, and may be effectively shouldering the large end of a platoon with Raburn at this point.

Raburn (illness) will return to the lineup Wednesday against the Athletics.

Raburn was expected to rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's game due to the lefty on the mound, and that's indeed the case. He will bat fifth for the Indians on Wednesday, and will face southpaw Hector Santiago.

Raburn (illness) is expected back in the lineup Wednesday when the Indians square off against southpaw Hector Santiago, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Raburn hasn't played since July 26 due to both his illness and not having faced a left-handed starter. Expect him back Wednesday.

Raburn (illness) will not rejoin the lineup Monday against the Angels, Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The Indians have resisted the temptation to place Raburn on the DL to this point, even though he'll remain out for the eighth straight game Monday. It appears he's progressing in his recovery from an episode of gastritis, but the Indians will likely avoid using him off the bench as a pinch-hitter unless absolutely necessary.

Raburn (illness) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the Athletics.

Raburn typically only starts against left-handers, so his absence from Sunday's lineup against righty Sonny Gray is hardly questionable. Nonetheless, he should be available off the bench, provided his gastritis doesn't flare up again.

Raburn has been suffering from gastritis over the last couple weeks, but is doing better, Zack Meisel of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Raburn exited Sunday's game and missed each of the past two because of it. However, it appears the issue is mostly behind him, and it shouldn't cost him much more time unless something pops up again.

Raburn (illness) remains out of the lineup Wednesday, according to MLB.com's Jordan Bastian.

Raburn has not played since exiting Sunday's game with an illness. The Indians have not said when they expect him to return to the starting lineup.

Cleveland Indians outfielder Ryan Raburn has been suffering from gastritis over the last two weeks but is starting to feel better, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Cleveland Indians outfielder Ryan Raburn has been suffering from gastritis over the last two weeks but is starting to feel better, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Raburn has not played since exiting Sunday's game with discomfort, but he is expected to return soon.

Raburn is not in the starting lineup Monday after leaving Sunday's game due to an apparent illness.

With a right-hander on the mound for the opposition, it's hardly surprising that Raburn is on the bench. The Indians are not scheduled to face a left-handed starter until August 4, which could significantly limit Raburn's playing time for the upcoming week anyway.

Manager Terry Francona said he pulled out Raburn late in Sunday's game against the White Sox because the outfielder "didn't feel well," Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Raburn indicated that something has been bothering him for weeks, which seems to suggest that he might be dealing with some sort of undisclosed illness or infection. Whatever was ailing him certainly seemed to affect his play, as Raburn struck out in all three of his at-bats and bobbled a ball in the outfield for his first error of the season. Raburn is unlikely to enter the lineup Monday against the Royals with right-hander Edinson Volquez on the mound.

Raburn is back in the lineup Monday.

Raburn was held out of action Saturday and Sunday due to illness, but he's back in action as the DH Monday. Raburn will bat fourth against Astros' starter Dallas Keuchel.

Raburn is "a little under the weather," which is why he's out of Saturday's lineup, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Raburn handles lefties well, so his presence in the lineup will be missed Saturday against Pirates southpaw Jeff Locke, though manager Terry Francona noted that Locke has fairly even splits against lefties and righties. Nonetheless, it seems like this illness is nothing major, so expect Raburn to be available Sunday and back in the lineup the next time the Indians face a left-handed starter.

Raburn (knee) is in the lineup Monday against the White Sox.

Raburn was held out of the lineup for two straight games after a collision with the outfield wall Friday, buthe will return to action for Monday's evening contest. He should continue to see regular at-bats against left-handed pitching moving forward, including Monday's matchup with southpaw Chris Sale.

Raburn (knee) is not in the lineup Saturday against the Rangers.

Raburn left Friday's game against the Rangers after colliding with the wall in the second inning. His spot in the lineup isn't guaranteed on a daily basis, so it remains to be seen when he will start next.

Raburn left Friday's game against the Rangers with a knee injury after running into a fence, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.

The incident occurred in the second inning, and reports said that keeping Raburn out of the game was just precautionary. However, with another game against the Rangers on Saturday, it is possible Cleveland decides to leave Raburn out depending on the severeness of the injury.

Raburn will sit Wednesday against the Astros, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.

With a righty (Scott Feldman) on the mound, the Indians will deploy David Murphy at DH, a platoon that could continue as long as Nick Swisher (knee) is sidelined. Look for Raburn to get back in the lineup when Cleveland faces David Price and the Tigers on Saturday.

Raburn (knee) was back in the lineup Saturday after leaving Thursday's game with knee discomfort.

Raburn's looking to lock down a bench role with the Indians this spring after a disappointing 2014 (.547 OPS in 212 plate appearances).

Raburn (knee) is expected to return to the lineup Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Raburn had his knee drained following Thursday's early exit and appears to avoided any kind of setback following offseason knee surgery.

Raburn left Thursday's Cactus League game with left knee discomfort, Nick Camino of WTAM 1100 reports.

The initial description doesn't sound too serious, until you remember that Raburn had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in September. He wasn't restricted at the start of spring training but it's still a bit worrisome that the same knee is bothering him. If healthy, Raburn will likely make the Opening Day roster, though he may have his $2.5 million salary to thank for that.

Raburn will enter camp mostly unrestricted but the Indians will monitor his workload early as his knee adjusts to increased volume and intensity, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

It sounds like the team will be cautious with the 33-year-old early on, but Raburn is fully expected to be available for games when the Cactus League slate begins. Raburn has completed his rehab from September arthroscopic surgery.
