Cleveland Indians center fielder Michael Bourn will start the season on the disabled list because of a tight left hamstring, though he could return within the first week. The Indians will put Bourn on the DL before their opener March 31 at Oakland. ”He is getting close to being game ready,” general manager Chris Antonetti said Monday. ”We want to be able to build up his innings, and his progressions so when he’s back he will be able to impact the team.” Outfielder Nyjer Morgan was told by Antonetti and manager Terry Francona that he will be on the Indians’ opening-day roster.
