"An Associated Press story that reported Indians manager Manny Acta saying that Roberto Hernandez Heredia, the pitcher formerly known as Fausto Carmona, would miss spring training has been amended.

The story now says that the Indians are doing everything they can to get Hernandez to the United States for the coming season, but are prepared to play without him.

"It doesn't matter that he was a little inconsistent last year. Fausto is an important part of our rotation," said Acta."
