CLEVELAND -- In need of reinforcements for their pitching staff, the Indians were forced to make a difficult decision on Monday afternoon.
Prior to its game against the Tigers, Cleveland designated relievers Joba Chamberlain and Tom Gorzelanny for assignment to vacate room on the roster for a pair of arms. Right-hander Mike Clevinger and lefty TJ House were recalled from Triple-A Columbus to help a staff that is still feeling the effects of Friday's 19-inning marathon with the Blue Jays.
The Indians now have 10 days to trade or release Chamberlain and Gorzelanny, or reassign them to the Minor Leagues if they clear waivers.
