By Chuck Murr Indians Ink
Date: Apr 10, 2005
Jody Gerut is progressing, but pitching prospect Scott Lewis has been shut down at the Indians' extending spring training camp in Winter Haven, Fla.
Gerut is scheduled to play three innings in right field and hopefully get two at-bats in an extended spring training game Monday. He is rehabbing from surgery to repair at torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, suffered last September.

Lewis, however, has been shut down indefinitely with soreness in his left shoulder.
The Indians' third-round pick in 2004 out of Ohio State had surgery on the shoulder in 2003, but returned to pitch briefly for the Buckeyes last spring and worked in three games last summer at Class A Mahoning Valley (one walk and 13 strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings).
He suffered a setback this winter when he strained the shoulder while trying to keep from falling down some stairs at home.
Last week, he visited orthopedist Dr. James Andrews, who had done surgery on Lewis' shoulder in 2003. Dr. Andrews recommended a period of non-throwing and rehab.
An exclusive profile interview with Lewis appears in next month's issue of Indians Ink Magazine.
SABATHIA UPDATE: Left-hander C.C. Sabathia, on the disabled list as he recovers from a strained muscle in his right side, is scheduled to make his second start for Class AA Akron on Tuesday night. He allowed one earned run and two hits over four innings for the Aeros last Thursday night. If all goes well Tuesday, Sabathia likely will be activated before next weekend's home series against Minnesota.
