The Indians’ decision to send Cody Anderson down to Triple-A Columbus and bring up relief pitcher Kyle Crockett changes the dynamic of the pitching staff to say the least.
The Tribe needed bullpen help, as their relief pitchers have a combined ERA of 4.37 through 18 games, which ranks 22nd in MLB and 13th out of 15 in the American League.
Anderson was struggling mightily, with a 7.65 ERA, so the Tribe is opting to go with a four-man rotation as of right now and use Crockett as an extra arm in the bullpen.
