Latest News
| Ryan Raburn content with bench role |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (5/20/13) Indians outfielder Ryan Raburn knew when he signed with the team in January he wasn't going to play every day. Months later, he's still fine with his bench role.
"It's going great," Raburn told MLB.com. "It's not something I haven't ever done before. It's not an easy task, but it's definitely something that I believe is giving me the ability to stay around and give me some time in the big leagues."
Raburn came into play Monday against the Mariners hitting .298 with a .512 slugging percentage in 26 games (22 starts). He added to his totals Monday with a three-run homer in his first at-bat.
"Anytime I'm in the lineup, I'm amped," Raburn said. "I love playing this game. I love playing with this team. I look forward to every moment I get a chance to go out there and try to help the ballclub."

| Ryan Raburn gets a day off |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com (5/14/13) Indians outfielder/second baseman Ryan Raburn is not in the team's lineup Tuesday against the Phillies.
With the Indians playing in a National League park, one of their regulars will have to sit in favor of a pitcher. Raburn has produced this year, hitting .316/.372/.544 in 79 at-bats. He could return to the lineup Wednesday to face Cole Hamels.

| Jim Leyland takes blame for Ryan Raburn's 2012 struggles |
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com (5/10/13) While Tigers manager Jim Leyland welcomes the return of his former player -- and current Indians outfielder -- Ryan Raburn to Detroit on Friday, the skipper said he still shoulders the blame for his lackluster season last year. The Tigers attempted to transition Raburn into a second baseman in order to keep his bat in the every-day lineup, but he responded with a career-low .171 average (minimum 20 games) and only one home run in 205 at-bats.
"I think I screwed him up last year trying to make him a second baseman," Leyland told the Detroit News. "If I would have played him part-time in the outfield and not set high expectations, he probably would have been fine.
"I just thought maybe we could get something like that out of him playing second base. It didn't work. So I'll take responsibility for that."

| Ryan Raburn named AL player of the week |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (5/6/13) Indians outfielder Ryan Raburn took home AL player of the week honors Monday for his performance from April 29-May 5. Raburn had a pair of two-homer games highlight his week.
Raburn hit .591 (13 for 22) with one double, four home runs, five runs and nine RBI in five games last week.

| Ryan Raburn joins elite company |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (5/2/13) Indians outfielder Ryan Raburn is the fourth player in the last 75 years with at least four home runs and 11 hits in a three-game span, according to Elias Sports Bureau. He has joined Duke Snider (1955), Kirby Puckett (1987) and Shawn Green (2002).
Raburn is batting .846 (11 for 13) with one double, four home runs, five runs and nine RBI in his last three games. His batting average has soared from .214 to .364 in that span.

| Ryan Raburn had a 2012 season he would probably like to forget. Playing regularly for the Tigers through the middle of May, mostly at second base, Raburn lost his grip on a starting job by hitting only .146 over his first 37 games. He endured a demotion to Triple-A Toledo, but when he returned in mid-June, the seven-year veteran played more sporadically. By August, Raburn's season was all but over, as he appeared in only three games over the last two months of the season, sidelined by thumb and quadriceps injuries. This offseason, the Tigers released Raburn, but he found a chance for redemption with the Indians, who signed him in January. Raburn will compete for a utility spot this spring, and given his ability to play multiple infield and outfield positions, he could land a job. Should that happen, Raburn won't likely play enough to have an impact in most Fantasy leagues, but last season aside, he has shown the ability to hit for power. That potential makes him worth considering in deeper AL-only leagues. (Updated 2/19/13) |
