The Indians on Monday placed starting pitcher Danny Salazar on Major League Baseball’s Paternity List and recalled relief pitcher Shawn Armstrong from Triple-A Columbus.
Salazar is able to remain on that list for three days, meaning he’ll still make his regularly scheduled start against the Miami Marlins during the Indians’ upcoming weekend series.
“They’re in town and I think it’s supposed to be [Monday],” said Indians manager Terry Francona. “So, Armstrong is here to help our bullpen. And Danny will just fall right into his next start.”
Salazar recently tossed the first strong outing since returning from the disabled list with elbow inflammation, allowing two runs on five hits and striking out 10 in 5 /3 innings pitched in Sunday’s 2-1 loss to the Texas Rangers.
