Cleveland Indians designated hitter Jason Giambi will miss three to four weeks due to a fractured rib, the team announced Thursday.

Giambi was injured when he was hit by a pitch thrown by Chicago Cubs right-hander Edwin Jackson on March 7. Giambi had an MRI on Wednesday and the fracture was revealed.

The 43-year-old is a non-roster invitee to spring training. He hit .183 with nine home runs and 31 RBIs in 186 at-bats last year.
