| August 1, 2005 Travis Hafner left a rehab appearance for Double-A Akron after one at-bat Monday night because of lingering effects from a concussion, according to the AP. The Indians were hoping to add Hafner to the roster for their three-game series with the Yankees, but now that seems unlikely. "Travis didn't feel 100 percent, so for precautionary reasons, we decided to remove him from the game," assistant general manager Chris Antonetti said. "From our perspective, I don't think concerned is the right word. He's made significant progress over the last week." |

| July 26, 2005 The Indians are finally expected to place Travis Hafner on the disabled list today, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Today is the last day the Indians can make the move retroactive to July 17. |
| July 25, 2005 The Indians expect to make a decision Tuesday on whether or not to place Travis Hafner on the disabled list, according to the AP. He missed his ninth straight game Monday with a concussion. "He's probably our best hitter," manager Eric Wedge said. "Any time you lose your best hitter in the middle of your lineup, it's going to be tough." |
| July 25, 2005 Although Travis Hafner took some live batting practice and did some light running yesterday, he's still not sure when he will return from his concussion, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Anytime you are talking about a concussion, it is serious." |
| July 22, 2005 If Travis Hafner can't get over his concussion this weekend, he may be placed on the disabled list, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I'm feeling better," Hafner said, "but I still have dizzy spells when doing any physical activities." |

"Travis is our best hitter, and we're going to give it as much time as we can before putting him on the DL," said Indians manager Eric Wedge. |
| July 20, 2005 Travis Hafner was out of the lineup Wednesday for the fourth straight game after sustaining a low grade concussion when he was hit in the face by a pitch on Saturday, according to the AP.

| July 18, 2005 The Indians aren't sure if Travis Hafner will be over his mild concussion in time to start Monday, though he was available to pinch hit Sunday, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "He's a little better," manager Eric Wedge said, "but we've got to see how he feels [today]." |

Manager Eric Wedge implied that Hafner might not play first base again this season. |

He made 11 starts at the position last year, but has been unable to this year because of a sore right elbow.

But we want to get his bat in there." |

| May 21, 2005 Travis Hafner won't see much action in the Indians' interleague series against the Reds because he can't throw well enough to play first base, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
