The Cleveland Indians have designated right-handed reliever Scott Atchison for assignment today. The move, while maybe a mild surprise, comes after Atchison struggled yet again and allowed a run in the 9th inning of last night’s game against the Detroit Tigers. The Indians have recalled fellow right-handed reliever Austin Adams to take Atchison’s place on the roster.

Scott Atchison enjoyed a very good 2014 season in the Tribe bullpen as one of the four workhorses for manager Terry Francona.
