Lindor dealing with calf strain

Cleveland Indians AllStar shortstop Francisco

Lindor will miss spring training camp — and maybe the start of the season — with a strained right calf.

Lindor was injured while working out in Orlando, Fla. He was checked at the Cleveland Clinic on Wednesday, and team physician Mark Shickendan­tz confirmed that Lindor had a moderate sprain.

The Indians, who won the American League Central last season, anticipate him missing up to nine weeks, which would place his return sometime in early April.
