MINNEAPOLIS: Travis Hafner has returned to Cleveland from North Dakota, where his father, Terry, died last week.
Hafner was scheduled to undergo a test to determine the strength of his right shoulder, but his absence delayed that. Now, there is another impediment to making the assessment.
Head trainer ''Lonnie Soloff is the one who has to do it to keep everything consistent,'' manager Eric Wedge said Friday. ''But Hafner's going to start swinging a bat. He feels well enough; he's already done it a couple of times.''
A prerequisite for Hafner to begin swinging had been how much strength he had regained in the shoulder. But apparently the test can wait until the team returns home. Hafner will not join the club during the trip to Minneapolis, St. Petersburg, Fla., and Toronto.
MOVING UP — With Jhonny Peralta getting the night off, Shin-Soo Choo moved into the cleanup spot and abandoned the outfield to be the designated hitter.
''It's just because he was batting fifth, so he moved up one,'' Wedge said. ''He played three days in a row, and we're still taking care of his arm.''
Choo underwent Tommy John surgery on his elbow last year.
NO DL NECESSARY — Jamey Carroll missed six games with a mild hamstring strain, but he was in the lineup Friday night at second base.
With Peralta getting a rest, Asdrubal Cabrera moved from second to short.
FARM FACTS — Trevor Crowe and Todd Linden each had three hits, including two homers apiece, as Buffalo routed Durham 12-2. David Huff (4-3, 2.79 ERA) gave up one run and two hits in five innings. . . . Carlos Santana tripled and singled in Kinston's 7-2 win over Salem. In four games at Kinston, Santana is batting .267. Jeanmar Gomez yielded two runs in 62/3 innings. . . . Todd Martin homered and doubled in Lake County's 4-3 win over Greensboro.
