Travis Hafner in a 7-for-51 slump.
(Cleveland) - Indians designated hitter Travis Hafner, in a 7-for-51 slump, wasn't in the starting line up for Wednesday night’s Tribe game against Seattle.
Manager Eric Wedge is noncommittal about how long Hafner, known to fans as "Pronk", would be on the bench or if he would remain in the #3 spot in the batting order when he does return to the lineup.
Hafner is hitless in his last 12 at-bats and is 2-for-16 in six games on the Indians' home stand. Overall, Pronk's batting .210 with 3 homers and 16 RBI and has only been reaching base at a .302 clip, more than 100 points down from his peak.
