Carlos Santana - C - Cleveland Indians
May 26, 2012 - 2:40 PM ET

Indians placed C Carlos Santana on the 7-day disabled list with a concussion.

Santana suffered the concussion when he was hit in the facemask by a foul ball on Friday. He'll be eligible to return next week, but he must pass a concussion test before being cleared for baseball activities. Lou Marson will take over catching duties for the Indians in the short-term while career minor-leaguer Luke Carlin is expected to be promoted from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday.
