Source: #Indians to call-up LHP Kyle Crockett to take OF Lonnie Chisenhall's roster spot who was placed on 7-day concussion Disabled List.

This might be just for one day, since Jackson didn't get to complete his rehab yesterday.

Scratch that last post ...

Crockett was originally headed to Cleveland yesterday w/ rainout last night no need for extra arm for bullpen. Austin Jackson promoted today

.

So Jackson does get the call.

PHEW!! Incredibly bad signing by O's

Alec Asher is scheduled to start for the Orioles on Sunday instead of Ubaldo Jimenez.

While there has been no official announcement from the team yet, it's safe to assume that the veteran right-hander has been bumped from the O's starting rotation, as Sunday had been his scheduled day to pitch.

He owns a cringe-worthy 7.11 ERA and 32/25 K/BB ratio through 42 2/3 innings on the season.

Hey, we can pay a lot less than that for sucky stats. Like Tomlin!

Happy birthday, TFIR!

Happy Birthday TFIR!

Tito says Kluber on track to start Thursday vs A's.

It's official. The Indians moved Danny Salazar to the bullpen this morning.

Wow.

Dude was lights out on way to being an all star this time last year.

Someone just posted on Twitter some breaking news too.

Salazar tried to find the bullpen today but couldn't locate it.

Cold...

Edwin Encarnacion with runners in scoring position in 2017:
5 hits 4 double-play groundouts
.106/.259/.234 slash line (5-for-47 overall)

Thanks guys for the birthday wishes!

In all fairness Encarnacion has shown some signs of life recently. Has a 7 game hitting streak and hitting .391 over that span, with 2 homers and 4 RBI.

He, and everybody else, has to do better with runners in scoring position though. The offense as a whole has stunk in that regard. They did today!

Another good day for the offense. Good to see Jose Ramirez string a couple of games together again. Kipnis of course rounding into form finally. Even Santana with better at bats, and of course Gomes is no longer a corpse.

I agree with HB that the offense in general has kind of weighed them all down...

Hitting is contagious for sure and we are seeing signs of (more consistent) life finally. And with a good Carrasco start, Kluber on the way, Tomlin throwing such a great game...the signs are pointing towards a better June.

Kluber and Carrasco should be a fine 1-2. Clevinger has good stuff, so does Bauer. Tomlin doesn't but knows how to pitch. It should be a good rotation, but we said that in April, too.

But better to have our pitching problems early instead of late like last year.
