CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The first wave of reinforcements hit the beach at Progressive Field on Thursday. There were no surprises on the day teams could expand their rosters to 40 players.
The Indians recalled right-hander Cody Anderson and Joe Colon along with infielder Erik Gonzalez. They purchased the contract of Adam Moore, giving manager Terry Francona a much-needed third catcher.
In other moves, outfielder Collin Cowgill, who spent almost the whole season at Columbus, was designated for assignment, while Danny Salazar was activated from the paternity list and newcomer Coco Crisp was added to the roster.
