Asdrubal Cabrera (quad) will take batting practice Friday for the first time since hitting the DL.
Cabrera has been on the shelf since June 4 because of a right quad strain. He should be cleared to return to the Indians' active roster in less than two weeks.

Josh Hamilton is batting seventh Wednesday for the first time since signing with the Angels.
Hamilton has hit primarily second, fourth or fifth in the Anaheim batting order but will get a big bump to seventh on Wednesday night. The $125 million man is sporting a rough .213/.269/.388 slash line this season.

Derek Jeter (ankle) took batting practice Wednesday for the first time since his second ankle fracture.
It's another big step for the rehabbing shortstop, who is working out at the Yankees' spring training complex in Tampa, Florida. Jeter has been hitting off a tee and doing light fielding drills for about a week and is currently on track to return to the Yankees' active roster shortly after the All-Star break.
