Indians to activate Michael Bourn from the disabled list Friday

Cleveland is expected to activate Michael Bourn from the disabled list for Friday’s game after the center fielder missed the past six weeks with a hamstring injury.

Bourn has battled hamstring problems since last season and underwent surgery, so it’s not surprising that a 3-4 week recovery timetable turned into a longer absence.

Because of all the leg problems Bourn has ceased doing damage as a base-runner, swiping just 30 bases while being thrown out 15 times in 196 games since last season. He stole 40-plus bases every year from 2008-2012, leading the league in 2009, 2010, and 2011.
