Amid his on-going home run issues, the Indians on Tuesday optioned starting pitcher Cody Anderson to Triple-A Columbus and announced that starting pitcher Michael Clevinger will make his major-league debut Wednesday in Cincinnati.
The Indians also activated outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall from the bereavement list after he was tending to a death in his immediate family.
Anderson this season has a 7.99 ERA and has allowed 10 home runs in 32 2/3 innings. It’s one more home run than he allowed all last season in 91 1/3 innings. He allowed two more home runs on Monday against Cincinnati but was bailed out by a 15-run outburst.
