The Indians today added staring pitcher Cody Anderson back to the Major League roster from AAA Columbus, and in the meantime sent young outfielder Tyler Naquin back to the minors.
While the move might not make sense to fans, there’s a pretty easy reason why the team did send Naquin back to Columbus, that being that he has options, and he’ll be back with the team soon enough.
Tough to see Naquin sent out. It was the easiest move for Indians b/c he had options but also allows them to manipulate his service time.
