The Indians had the best offense in baseball in the month of May (at least when it comes to scoring runs), and they did it with a rash of outfield injuries to boot. Now as the calendar flips to June, the team is set to get some of their outfield MASH unit back, meaning some tough decisions lie ahead for
Wade Boggs Jersey the Wahoos when it comes to roster spots and playing time. Weve already seen the return of Bradley Zimmer, and not all that far behind are Lonnie Chisenhall, Brandon Guyer and Tyler Naquin. The return of four players will for sure make it tough not only for some to find playing time, but

Two players that might not have a future with the team based on roster spots are Rajai Davis and Melky Cabrera, two vets who both might be wished well in future endeavors. Davis, who fought his way to a roster spot in the spring, is hitting just .217

Guyer is hitting just .150 this season with three homers and 10 RBI, but Francona loves what he can do against lefties and still seems to have a soft spot for him. As for Chisenhall, his inability to stay healthy is a major concern, and he played in just seven games before going down with the calf injury that has sidelined him ever since. If the team sends both Allen and
New York Yankees Zimmer to AAA Columbus, it will likely mean they will have to make a decision to keep an extra outfielder, or send someone such as Davis or po sibly Cabrera packing. Expect a roster shakeup for the team Tuesday, and one that might not be all that popular with the fans as the team comes back home after a tough trip in Minnesota.
