Tribe calls up Roth, options Aguilar

Aguilar made his Major League debut with the Indians last year, batting .121 without a home run over 38 plate appearances. He had a strong 2014 with Columbus, but has had less success in 2015, batting .255/.318/.410 with 13 home runs in 402 plate appearances.

Roth was originally drafted by the Indians in the 31st round of the 2011 Draft, but he chose to return to college. The Los Angeles Angels then selected him in the ninth round of the '12 Draft, and he began his professional career. After spending three years in the Angels' system, making his Major League debut in '13, Roth was twice designated for assignment and elected to become a free agent.
