Cleveland -- The Cleveland Indians placed starting catcher Carlos Santana on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday after he was injured in a home-plate collision.

Santana was hurt in the seventh inning of Monday's win over Boston when Ryan Kalish barreled into his left leg as he blocked the plate. The Indians' rookie receiver collapsed in pain and was eventually taken off the field on a stretcher.

Diagnosed with a left knee sprain, Santana was set to undergo an MRI exam Tuesday in Cleveland.

The Tribe also put designated hitter Travis Hafner on the 15-day DL after he came down with right shoulder inflammation.

To fill the roster spots, Cleveland called up pitcher David Huff and catcher Lou Marson from Class AAA Columbus.

The proposal took place Friday at the Midwest Bank Amphitheatre.

Santana popped the question four songs into the show on the Chicago-area stop on his Universal Tone Tour 2010. The romantic gesture followed Blackman's virtuoso drum solo on the Santana hit "Corazon Espinado." After she accepted, the just-engaged couple kissed and the audience broke into cheers, Santana's representatives said in a news release Monday.
