Indians Lose Lee til May

The Cleveland Indians announced that Cliff Lee will be out for til May due to an abdomen strain. "The reality is I can't pitch until mid-April," Lee said after being scratched from a scheduled throwing session when he felt discomfort during training-room exercises Sunday morning. Lee, who went 14-11 with a 4.40 ERA last season, will be replaced by Fausto Carmona for the time being.
