CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Indians manager Terry Francona said Friday that outfielder Leonys Martin is at Cleveland Clinic receiving treatment for an an undisclosed medical condition.

"We have to respect what the family wishes so we are," said Francona before the Indians opened a three-game series against the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field. "We talked to the team a little bit. We just need to respect their privacy right now.

"What I would say, if you believe in saying prayers and things like that, keep him in your thoughts. But he's in a good place. He's at the Clinic and he's getting good care."

The Indians acquired Martin from the Tigers on July 31 just before the non-waiver deadline. He became ill Tuesday night and did not play Wednesday. On Thursday the Indians placed him on the 10-day disabled list and recalled outfielder Greg Allen from Class AAA Columbus.

Chris Antonetti, Indians president of baseball operations, was at the Clinic on Friday visiting with Martin's family.

Martin, in six games with the Indians, is hitting .333 (5-for-15) with two homers and four RBI.
