Chris Perez is under investigation by drug agents for a suspected shipment of marijuana mailed to his suburban home.
No charges have been filed and the matter remains under investigation.
At a news conference Wednesday, the Rocky River police chief said the operation likely originated with a package that appeared suspicious to postal employees. "They took it from there," he said.
Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said in a statement that the team had talked with Perez and was "gathering additional information."
Perez is currently on the disabled list.
