The unofficial news is now official news as the Cleveland Indians will, in fact, be calling up pitching prospect Mike Clevinger to take Cody Anderson‘s spot in the rotation. The Indians have officially activated outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall from the Bereavement List and optioned Anderson to Triple-A Columbus. They’ve also announced that Clevinger will make his debut tomorrow versus the Reds when the team heads to Cincinnati.
Speculation of a Clevinger call-up first started this morning when he was a (very) late scratch before the Columbus Clippers 11:05 am game in Indianapolis this morning.
