An X-ray on Mike Aviles' right big toe came back negative.

Aviles has started the last two games after missing a few contests with the injury, but he still isn't running very well. Expect the Indians to be careful with his playing time over the next week or two.

Mike Aviles has been out of the lineup the last three days after stubbing his toe prior to Friday's game.

Aviles didn't let Indians manager Terry Francona know he was injured prior to the game, so he wound up playing through the ailment and could have made it worse. The good news is that Aviles is better and available to start Wednesday. "I think he was hurting a little more than he let on," Francona said. "I told him, 'I wish you would've told me. I could've protected you a little bit.'"

Mike Aviles had a rough night at the plate in Friday's loss to the Orioles, going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts.

He also left three men stranded on base. While he's a fine utility player for the Indians, he has been exposed a bit when pressed into everyday action with the injury to Jason Kipnis. With the rough night, he's now hitting .266/.290/.371 on the season.

Mike Aviles went 3-for-4, hitting a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Indians defeated the Twins 4-3 on Wednesday.

Against Twins reliever Casey Fien, Asdrubal Cabrera led off the inning with a double. Lonnie Chisenhall moved him over to third with a sacrifice bunt. After Yan Gomes grounded out to shortstop, the Indians' chances at a win suffered a serious blow, but Aviles sent them home happy with an RBI single to shallow center. Aviles has done a good job as a utlityman, as he now has a .303 average and .338 on-base percentage on the season.

Mike Aviles went 1-for-2 and also walked in Saturday's loss to the Blue Jays.

On an afternoon where the Tribe mustered just four total singles against Mark Buehrle and company, Aviles was one of the standout offensive performers. He's seeing quite a bit of action as a super utility player, slashing .270/.317/.378 in 37 at-bats on the season.

Mike Aviles is in Monday's starting lineup against the Padres, batting ninth and playing in left field.

Michael Brantley moves over to center field and will bat sixth. Aviles has made three starts this season, all in the infield. He only made four starts in the outfield last season. With Michael Bourn close to a return, this lineup shake-up won't be common.

Mike Aviles went 3-for-3 with an RBI against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Starting in left field, Aviles had two singles and a double. The big game raised his spring batting average to .391. The 33-year-old will play all over the diamond in a utility role with the Indians this season.

Mike Aviles belted a two-run homer in the first inning on Friday, propelling the Indians to a 7-2 win over the Cubs in Cactus League action.

The veteran infielder, who got the start at third base in this one, took Edwin Jackson over the boards in left field after a leadoff single by Nyjer Morgan. With his 1-for-2 effort, Aviles is now hitting an impressive .556 (5-for-8) in the early going. He's nothing but a fringe option in AL-only leagues unless an injury strikes in the Tribe's infield.

Mike Aviles was ejected from Sunday's game against the Mets for arguing after he was caught stealing in the ninth inning to end the game.

With the Indians trailing by a run in the ninth, Aviles was in motion as Drew Stubbs struck out, and was thrown out for the final out of the game. He certainly voiced his displeasure over the ruling to the umpiring crew though, as his ejection after the game had ended was virtually meaningless.

Mike Aviles hit a grand slam off Tigers' closer Joaquin Benoit in the ninth inning Sunday to push Cleveland to a 4-0 victory.

It was his only hit in four at-bats. The utility infielder has homered twice in his last three starts. Aviles is batting .261/.285/.389 with nine homers and eight steals over 306 at-bats.

Mike Aviles went 1-for-3 with a home run against the Braves on Wednesday.

Aviles hit a solo home run, his eight of the season, in the fourth inning before adding a sacrifice fly in the eighth. The utility infielder was responsible for both the Indians' runs batted in on the night. He's now batting .265/.289/.386 this season.

Mike Aviles smacked a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Rangers.

Aviles entered the game as a pinch-hitter for Lonnie Chisenhall in the sixth inning. He fouled out with two runners on in that at-bat, but he made up for it but putting one over the boards in left in the eighth to extend the lead to 6-0. The Tribe swept the three-game series.

Mike Aviles went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI as the Indians beat the Royals on Tuesday.

Aviles was in the middle of the Indians' three-run eighth inning, eventually scoring the winning run on a Michael Brantley sacrifice fly. The utility infielder has gotten regular playing time with Asdrubal Cabrera sidelined, but he should return to a reserve role when Cabrera returns. He's hitting .277 on the year.

Mike Aviles finished 3-for-4 in the Indians' loss to the Nationals on Saturday in Cleveland.

Aviles had a double in the third inning, a single in the fifth and a second double in the ninth. He has struggled for the most part this season but may be a decent fill-in for Troy Tulowitzki owners over the next several weeks.

Mike Aviles went 0-for-3 in Sunday's loss to the Tigers.

Cleveland's utility man is starting everyday with Asdrubal Cabrera (quadriceps) on the 15-day disabled list. In related news, Cleveland hasn't won since the first day of the month. Guaranteed at-bats give Aviles value in AL-only leagues, but he's not going to contribute much in any fantasy category.

Mike Aviles had three RBI in Puerto Rico's 6-3 victory over the Team Venezuela Saturday.

The two sides will hope to find some middle ground in advance of a possible hearing in February.

Indians acquired INF Mike Aviles and INF/C Yan Gomes from the Blue Jays for RHP Esmil Rogers

Aviles was part of the Blue Jays' compensation for manager John Farrell, but made $1.2 million in 2012 and is arbitration for the second time this winter. Gomes struggled in limited action last season, hitting just .204/.264/.367 with four home runs in 43 games. Rogers will compete for a spot in the Toronto bullpen in spring training.

Blue Jays acquired INF Mike Aviles from Red Sox in exchange for RHP David Carpenter and manager John Farrell.

The deal was reported Saturday and has now become official. Aviles, 31, batted .250/.282/.381 with 13 home runs, 14 stolen bases and 60 RBI in 136 games this past season for the Red Sox. He's better suited for a utility role but could be in the mix for the second base job in Toronto with Kelly Johnson slated for free agency.
