--RHP Jake Westbrook had successful arthroscopic surgery Friday to clean out his right hip joint. The surgery was done by hip specialist Dr. Thomas Byrd in Nashville. Westbrook, who is already on the disabled list as he rehabs from "Tommy John" Surgery, is expected to be on crutches for four weeks following the hip surgery, but beyond that, the rehab from the hip surgery is not expected to impact Westbrook's rehab from "Tommy John" surgery.
--C Victor Martinez started his first game behind the plate Friday since spending 2-1/2 months on the disabled list following elbow surgery. Martinez played the full nine innings and went 2-for-3 with an RBI. --RHP Anthony Reyes had to leave Friday's game after three innings due to soreness in his right elbow. He will be further evaluated on Saturday.
--The Indians' 9-3 win over Kansas City Friday was their 10th road win in a row, matching the fourth longest road winning streak in franchise history.
