The Indians on Sunday placed relief pitcher Tommy Hunter on the 15-day disabled list and recalled Cody Anderson from Triple-A Columbus.
Hunter, per the club, is beginning his second stint on the DL with a non-baseball injury, retroactive to July 10. This year he has a 3.74 ERA with 17 strikeouts in 21 2/3 innings pitched.
Anderson gives the Indians’ bullpen some insurance as someone who can throw multiple innings for the time being. He has a 7.48 ERA this year as he’s tried to get back to where he was in 2015.
The Indians also announced that they have traded left-handed pitcher Ross Detwiler to the Oakland A’s for cash considerations.
