The Indians promoted Matt LaPorta for the second time Aug. 19. He's hitting .292 (28-for-96) with five homers and 13 RBI since. "Matt has gone through some things since he came back that he's handled very well," manager Eric Wedge said. "He's still settling into his swing and what he needs to do to be successful. "You're starting to see more of it. A more downward plane with his swing. His approach is solid and, obviously, he's very strong." LaPorta was the main piece in the trade that sent CC Sabathia to the Milwaukee Brewers during the middle of the 2008 season. RealGM Note: LaPorta has a .754 OPS for the season and .834 mark since the call-up.
