CLEVELAND: The Indians on Tuesday recalled relief pitcher Austin Adams and designated for assignment Scott Atchison.
Adams this season has a 2.38 ERA in seven appearances across several stints in Cleveland. He and lefty Kyle Crockett have made several trips up and down I-71 between Triple-A Columbus and Cleveland as the seventh reliever in the bullpen.
Atchison, meanwhile, hasn’t been the same pitcher he was last year. He owns a 6.86 ERA in 19u2154 innings this season after posting a 6-0 record and 2.75 ERA in 2014.
Atchison was a veteran presence in the clubhouse and in the bullpen, even as he struggled.
