CLEVELAND: Amid his ongoing home-run issues, the Indians on Tuesday optioned starting pitcher Cody Anderson to Triple-A Columbus and announced that starting pitcher Mike 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 32u2154 innings. It’s one more home run than he allowed all last season in 91u2153 innings. He allowed two more home runs on Monday against the Reds but was bailed out by a 15-run outburst.
