CLEVELAND (AP) -- Indians outfielder Grady Sizemore could need arthroscopic surgery if two more weeks of rest don't calm his inflamed left elbow.

Sizemore, placed on the disabled list Sunday, would likely not return to the lineup until late July if surgery is needed.

Aside from an interleague series at Cincinnati, Sizemore has served exclusively as the designated hitter for the last two weeks. The Indians are hoping that the time spent as a DH, along with the next two weeks of rest, will be enough to calm the inflammation that has hampered Sizemore for much of the season.

The All-Star and two-time Gold Glove winner is batting .223, with nine home runs and 31 RBIs. He set career-highs last year with 33 homers, 90 RBIs and 38 stolen bases.
