Aviles was placed on the family emergency list Saturday, Zack Meisel of The Plain Dealer reports. Aviles will miss the final two games of the season's first half, and it's unclear if he'll be ready to return after the All-Star break. The Indians recalled Jose Ramirez from Triple-A Columbus to provide infield depth.

Aviles went 1-for-3 with the game-winning home run in the top of the 10th inning Thursday in Tampa Bay. He also drew a walk and scored two runs. The veteran utility man got the start in left field for the eighth time this season, but was stuck in the ninth spot in the lineup. The homer -- his fourth of the year -- was the first extra-base hit for Aviles in nearly a month, dating back to a June 4 double.

Avails is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports. Avails started the last four games at three different positions, but he will not start Wednesday. He is not a regular at any one position at this time, but he is seeing regular starts against opposing left-handers.

Aviles is expected to lose out on regular starting duties following the promotion of Francisco Lindor from Triple-A Columbus ahead of Sunday's game against the Tigers, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports. Aviles will remain in the lineup Sunday after Lindor's arrival to the ballpark was delayed by travel, but he'll likely find himself back in a utility infield role by the end of the week. The veteran is batting a credible .277 with a .341 on-base percentage on the season, but his versatility and lack of standout tools make him best optimized as a reserve.

Aviles will draw his fourth start at shortstop in five games Sunday against the Orioles, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports. It looks like Aviles has unseated the struggling Jose Ramirez for primary shortstop duties, but don't expect him to represent a high-end fantasy option at the position. He's batting a respectable .270 with three homers and a stolen base over 112 plate appearances this season, production that largely limits his value to deeper leagues. Even if Aviles is able to continue to hold off Ramirez for regular duties, he seems likely to settle back into a utility role in the second half, when the Indians are expected to bring top prospect Francisco Lindor aboard.

Aviles (personal) was activated from the restricted list Monday. Aviles had been attending to a family matter, but as expected, he'll be available for the series opener against the White Sox. Look for the utility man to be used primarily as a reserve infielder, as well as see occasional reps in the outfield. Pitcher Austin Adams was optioned to Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move.

Aviles (personal) is expected to be activated from the Restricted List on Monday, Paul Hoynes of the Northeast Ohio Media Group reports. Aviles continues to tend to a matter regarding his daughter, but thankfully it sounds as though the issue may be resolved. He'll likely rejoin the Indians on Monday as a result, though the move hasn't been made official yet.

Aviles (personal) was transferred to the Restricted List on Friday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Aviles is out for the rest of the weekend and it's unclear if he'll rejoin the team Monday or not.

Aviles (personal) remains without a timetable for return as he attends to a matter with his daughter, Zack Meisel of The Plain Dealer reports. Aviles was placed on the family medical emergency list last Friday, but his absence could extend beyond the 3-to-7 days allotted by the designation. If that happens, he would likely be transferred to the Restricted List.

Aviles has been placed on the family medical emergency list and will be out for 3-to-7 days. The Indians have not disclosed the nature of the personal matter, but owners can expect to be without Aviles at least through the weekend. Zach Walters was recalled to serve as a utility player while Aviles is away from the team.
