Cliff Lee Has Abdominal Strain

Southpaw Cliff Lee was scratched from his scheduled bullpen session on Thursday because of a strained right abdominal muscle that has plagued him throughout camp. Indians head athletic trainer Lonnie Soloff said the club will evaluate Lee, who has yet to make a Spring Training start, again on Sunday. If the symptoms of the strain are still lingering by that point, Lee would be shut down from throwing for a period of 10-12 days, putting his start to the season in jeopardy.
