Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Cleveland Indians pitcher Josh Tomlin was
scratched from Saturday's scheduled start against Boston because of a sore
right wrist and placed on the 15-day disabled list.
The move is retroactive to May 8 and to take his spot in the start the team
recalled right-hander Zach McAllister from Triple-A Columbus. McAllister, who
was optioned to Columbus on Tuesday, will be making his second start of the
season as he beat Chicago on Monday.
Tomlin developed a sore wrist in his last outing five days ago in the second
game of a doubleheader against Chicago from gripping a wet ball. He is 1-2
with a 4.67 earned run average in six games, including five starts, this
season.
Also on Saturday, the team purchased the contract of infielder Jose Lopez from
Columbus, optioned infielder Jason Donald to Columbus and designated
outfielder Nick Weglarz for assignment.
Lopez has played five games for the Indians this season and he has four hits,
including a home run, in 21 at-bats.
Donald batted just .178 with four runs batted in over 16 games this season.
