The Cleveland Indians activated Mike Aviles from the restricted list, and as expected optioned Austin Adams to Columbus to make room for Shaun Marcum, who they needed to clear a spot for. All of these were expected moves. But the talk going around that Marcum is up for a couple of spot starts just dumbfounds me. Even more so if he comes out in these outings and pitches well.
The expectation is once T.J. House makes a few rehab starts, he will return to the rotation and Marcum won’t be needed.
