Ryan Raburn went 2-for-3 with a home run against the Mariners on Wednesday.

Raburn hit a two-run shot off of Lucas Luetge in the seventh inning, his second blast of the spring. He rebounded nicely for the Tribe last season, posting a .901 OPS in 277 trips to the plate. He'll platoon with David Murphy in right field and may get the occasional start at first base as well.

Ryan Raburn blasted a two-run homer off Homer Bailey, powering the Indians to a 4-0 victory over the Reds in Cactus League play on Friday.

The 32-year-old utilityman had a resurgence in Cleveland in 2013, slashing .272/.357/.543 with 16 homers and 55 RBI in only 243 at-bats. He mashes against left-handed pitching and has enough power to be mixed league relevant provided he finds his way into Terry Francona's lineup semi-regularly.

Ryan Raburn cut back on his normal running routine this offseason to preserve his legs.

"I just rested and let the body take care of itself," Raburn said. He changed his routine after dealing with calf, heel and Achilles tendon injuries last season.

Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports that utilityman Ryan Raburn will see work at first base during spring training.

Raburn already has the ability to man either corner outfield position, as well as second base or third base. Adding even more versatility will give manager Terry Francona even more ways to work his bat into the lineup on a semi-regular basis. The 32-year-old slashed a healthy .272/.357/.543 with 16 homers and 55 RBI in only 243 at-bats in his first season with the Tribe.

Indians manager Terry Francona indicated Friday that Ryan Raburn could see increased playing time against right-handed pitching.

Raburn has been deployed primarily against southpaws this season, but has been such a valuable run producer that they need to find creative ways to get his bat in the lineup more often. He's had quite a resurgence this season, hitting .286/.380/.607 with 16 homers and 52 RBI in only 206 at-bats.

Ryan Raburn went 3-for-3 with a homer, a double, five RBI and a walk Thursday in the Indians' 14-3 rout of the White Sox.

Still dealing with a sore Achilles' tendon, Raburn has played in just three games since coming off the DL on Sept. 3. Of course, he's driven in 10 runs in those three games anyway. He's played five games in a month and hit three homers with 13 RBI. Imagine what he could do if he were healthy.

Indians manager Terry Francona admitted that Ryan Raburn isn't entirely healed.

"He's not 100 percent," Francona said. "But it's nice to have his bat back and to have him on the bench as a threat. I did watch him run the bases today, and he did pretty good."

Ryan Rabrun (calf) is aiming to return Wednesday.

He is expected to take batting practice on Tuesday evening and should be cleared to return if the session goes well. The 32-year-old outfielder is batting .272/.366/.574 with 15 home runs and 41 RBI in 71 games this season.

Making his pitching debut, Ryan Raburn pitched a perfect ninth inning Thursday in the 10-3 loss to the Tigers.

That two-year, $4.85 million extension looks like a big bargain if Raburn proves to be a valuable reliever, too. OK, probably not. But he didn't look bad with his mid-80s heater tonight. He even struck out Matt Tuiasosopo to end his inning.

Indians signed INF/OF Ryan Raburn to a two-year extension with a club option for 2016.

ESPN's Buster Olney reports that the deal is worth $4.85 million guaranteed. After making the Indians on a minor league deal, Raburn has surprised this season with a .277/.370/.565 batting line and 13 home runs over 211 plate appearances. And now he has carved out a long-term place with the club.

Ryan Raburn smacked two home runs Thursday in the Indians' 6-1 defeat of the visiting White Sox.

He also managed to squeeze in an RBI single in the fifth, finishing the afternoon 3-for-4 with two runs scored and four RBI.

With his multi-position eligibility, he can be a very useful player in deeper mixed leagues.
