CLEVELAND (AP) — Indians outfielder Leonys Martin is being released from the Cleveland Clinic after being hospitalized because of a life-threatening infection.The plan was for Martin to leave the hospital later Sunday Matt Garza Jersey , team president Chris Antonetti said.“To think about the progress he’s made over the past week, it’s been nothing short of amazing,” Antonetti said. “It’s beyond a relief, especially given where things were a week ago.”The 30-year-old Martin became ill following a game on Aug. 8. Doctors determined he had a bacterial infection that entered his bloodstream and created toxins that damaged his internal organs, compromising their function.Antonetti informed the team about Martin’s condition Monday in Cincinnati. Antonetti, manager Terry Francona and several players visited the hospital after the Indians returned home, when Martin was sitting up in a chair and in good spirits.“If you didn’t know anything was wrong http://www.brewersfanproshop.com/authentic-stephen-vogt-jersey , other than the IV he had connected, you wouldn’t have known anything different,” Antonetti said. “He was able to walk up and down the hallway a little bit and every day he continues to get better. He still has progress he needs to make to get back to full health, but it’s been a really encouraging week.”Martin was acquired from Detroit on July 31 and has appeared in six games with the Indians. His wife, father and brother have joined him in Cleveland.Antonetti said Martin is eager to return to playing baseball, but there is no set plan in place. Martin will undergo a series of checkups with doctors this week to monitor his recovery process.“It’s important to remember we don’t know,” Antonetti said. “We’re in uncharted waters. There’s no precedent you can look back to and say Christian Yelich Jersey , ‘What does a return to activity look like?’ It’s very much going to continue to be day to day.”Antonetti said recently that doctors haven’t defined the specific type of bacteria or how it entered Martin’s system.

OF Derek Fisher has been recalled from Triple-A Fresno to take his spot on the roster.Springer, 28, is expected to miss two weeks with the injury, per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. He left Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers after hurting the thumb on a headfirst slide."He was in a lot of pain," Astros manager AJ Hinchtold reporters. "It was obviously bothering him, so it was an easy decision to bring him out and get evaluated."Springer had missed only four games due to injury this season, though it's been far from his best effort. The slugger is hitting .250/.335/.436 with 19 home runs and 58 runs batted in http://www.brewersfanproshop.com/authentic-corey-knebel-jersey , putting him well below a 30-homer pace.The Astros are already without Jose Altuve, who is set to go under anevaluationon his injured knee this week."I think it feels like (a setback) only because we've eliminated San Francisco as a possibility," Hinchtold reporters. "I don't know that we can consider it a setback other than we can consider that he needs more time to heal."Losing two of their biggest names could become a problem in an increasingly competitive AL West. Houston's lead in the division is only four games over the Oakland Athletics, and they're 6.5 games away from being pushed out of the playoffs entirely.
