The Cleveland Indians have placed All-Star shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera on the bereavement list after a death in the family.

The team said Cabrera has returned to his native Venezuela after the death in his immediate family. He must be on the list for a minimum of three days.

The Indians recalled left-hander Nick Hagadone from Triple-A Columbus before opening a three-game series in Seattle.

Cabrera is batting .282 with two homers and three RBI. The 26-year-old hit 25 homers — the most by a Cleveland shortstop — and drove in 92 runs in 2011. He recently signed a new three-year extension that will keep him with the Indians through 2014.
