CLEVELAND — There will be a new, and unexpected, relief pitcher available in the Cleveland bullpen Wednesday night when the Indians host the Oakland A’s in the third game of a four-game series.
Right-hander Danny Salazar will be on call for relief work for the first time since being pulled out of the Indians’ rotation. Salazar, who struggled badly in 10 starts this season, has been moved to the bullpen in hopes of getting him straightened out and back pitching as he did last year, when he was selected to the American League All-Star team.
The move was made after Salazar went 3-5 with a 5.
