Indians optioned RHP Danny Salazar to Triple-A Columbus.
The ink on the lineup card from Wednesday's game before the Indians demoted the 24-year-old again. Salazar allowed five runs over four innings in a loss to the Reds, but he had been pretty good in his previous three starts since being recalled on July 22. The Indians obviously feel he needs more work in the minors, though. He'll likely be back up when the rosters expand in September.

Yan Gomes - C - Indians

Yan Gomes homered Wednesday to extend his hitting streak to 12 games.

Once defense is factored in, Gomes rates as one of the AL's best players so far this year. He's hitting .286/.327/.489 with 16 homers and 50 RBI in 350 at-bats, and the only AL catcher with a better OPS is Derek Norris, who neither catches as much nor as well as Gomes.
