Indians' Aaron Bracho: Out with thumb strain
Rotowire
Bracho was placed on the 7-day injured list at High-A Lake County on Friday with a left thumb strain.
Bracho has hit an underwhelming .187/.280/.316 with six home runs, 25 RBI and 23 runs scored through 243 plate appearances in his first year of High-A ball. It's unclear if the 20-year-old will need more than a minimum stay in the IL.
Bracho will be a part of the Indians' 60-man player pool this season.
The Indians invited most of their best prospects, including Bracho, to train at an alternate site while the big leaguers train at Progressive Field. Bracho could be a bat-first second baseman in a few years, but he has yet to play above short-season ball, so do not expect him to get any run in MLB games this summer.
