Danny Salazar underwent an MRI on Monday and will miss 3-4 weeks with a forearm injury.

The Cleveland Indians will be without Salazar for the remainder of the regular season and his status for the playoffs is in doubt.

After an examination, the right-hander was diagnosed with a mild strain to his flexor musculature.

"When it's all said and done, getting the news that we did is probably pretty damn good," Terry Francona said. "I mean it's musculature as opposed to something with a ligament."

The Indians have a six game lead over the Detroit Tigers in the American League Central.
