The Indians have placed left-hander Nick Hagadone on the 15-day disabled list and recalled lefty Kyle Crockett from Triple-A Columbus.
Hagadone heads to the DL, retroactive to Tuesday, with a lower back strain.
He had posted an ERA of 4.28 in 36 relief appearances this season. It will be his second career stint on the DL.
Crockett has spent most of the season with Triple-A Columbus, where he is 2-1 with a 6.33 ERA in 25 games. He has not allowed a run in five relief appearances with the Indians this year (3 2/3 innings).
