Cleveland Indians call up Ryan Webb, designate Jerry Sands for assignment

Probably not the move that turns around the season, but hey, it's something... right?

The Indians have called up reliever Ryan Webb from Triple-A, in an effort to strengthen the bullpen, which has been the opposite of strong so far this season. In order to make room for him on the 40-man (and 25-man) roster, outfielder Jerry Sands has been designated for assignment.

Webb, a 29-year-old righty, has appeared in 5 games so far this season for the Clippers, allowing only 1 run in 8 innings of work, with only five batters reaching base. He's pitched in MLB in each of the past six seasons, spending time with the Padres, Marlins, and Orioles.
