On Saturday (Aug. 7) the Cleveland Indians made the move to recall middle infielder Andres Gimenez from Triple-A Columbus, sending down starting pitcher J.C. Mejia in a corresponding move. Originally the Opening Day starter at shortstop, Gimenez had a slow start to the season that saw him optioned to Columbus on May 18. Now, he’s getting another shot.
With the trade deadline moves by the Tribe, specifically moving Cesar Hernandez, there are ample opportunities for young players to prove their worth.
