CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Indians president Chris Antonetti isn’t sure how long Leonys Martin will be sidelined after the outfielder was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a non-baseball related condition Thursday.Antonetti said Martin Lonnie Chisenhall Jersey , who became sick Tuesday night and didn’t play Wednesday night against the Minnesota Twins, could be out for longer than 10 days.“He’s got an illness that he’s working through,” Antonetti said. “It happened really quickly. After the game the other night, he just didn’t feel well. We’re now in the process of getting him assessed and working through the best way to get him healthy.”Antonetti wouldn’t say if Martin has been hospitalized. Manager Terry Francona said before Wednesday’s game that Martin was dealing with an intestinal issue.Martin is batting .333 with two home runs and four RBIs in six games since being acquired from Detroit at the trade deadline. He’s hitting .255 with 11 homers and 33 RBIs overall in 84 games.Outfielder Greg Allen was recalled from Triple-A Columbus. The Indians have been dealing with injuries to outfielders all season and hoped adding Martin would provide stability.Additional moves for an outfielder might be made before the Aug. 31 trade deadline for players who have cleared waivers.“We’ll continue to spend the month of August looking for opportunities to improve our team,” Antonetti said. “What impact Martin’s condition or illness has on that, we’re not yet sure.”Antonetti expects outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall, who has played in only 29 games because of calf injures, to return this season. Outfielder Tyler Naquin had surgery on his right hip on Aug. 3 and could be back before the season ends. A Mickey Mantle jersey from the 1964 World Series has been sold at auction for $1.32 million.It was the jersey Mantle wore when he homered in Games 6 and 7 at St. Louis to give him 18 for his career, a World Series record that still stands. He also homered in Game 3 at home to break a tie with Babe Ruth.The winning bid shattered the previous mark for a Mantle jersey — $486,000 last year for a road jersey from his final season in 1968. A Ruth jersey from 1920 has the record at $4.415 million in an auction in 2012.Also part of Heritage Auctions’ Summer Sports Collectibles offerings was a 1952 Topps Mantle rookie card from a collection owned by a New Jersey man and his brother . The two men went through their old card collection after seeing former NFL player Evan Mathis get $2.88 million for a Mantle card from the same year that was graded a Mint 9 by PSA http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-larry-doby-jersey , one of the leading sports memorabilia authenticators.The brothers found five Mantle cards from 1952, with the best of the collection, a PSA Near-Mint 8.5, going for $810,000 in this auction. Two Mantle cards from the brothers’ collection were sold by Heritage last month — a PSA 7.5 for $200,000 and a PSA 5 for $72,000. Two more — a PSA 7 estimated at $100,000 and another PSA 5 estimated at $40,000 — will be sold at auction in the fall.
