Borowski Back with the Club; Breslow Designated
As expected Joe Borowski is back with the club, and the team is dumping reliever Craig Breslow. Here is the presser from the Tribe on the move:
CLEVELAND, OH — The Cleveland Indians today announced the club has activated RHP JOE BOROWSKI from the 15-day disabled list. To allow room on the Major League roster for Borowski the Indians designated LHP CRAIG BRESLOW for assignment.
Borowski was placed on the 15-day disabled list on April 15 with a right triceps strain after appearing in 5 games over the first two weeks of the season with the Indians (2SV, 18.00ERA, 4.0IP, 7H, 8R/ER, 3HR). It was the 3rd DL stint of his Major League career for Borowski, who led the American League with 45 saves last season. He appeared in two games on rehab assignment at A Lake County (May 19) and AA Akron (May 21) and did not allow a run in 2.0 innings of work.
Breslow, who was claimed off outright waivers from the Boston Red Sox on March 23, has spent the entire season to date with the Indians and made 7 relief appearances (8.1IP, 10H, 3ER, 3.24ERA).
Matt has covered Major League Baseball and the "other two" Pro teams in Cleveland since 1994. He has been on the beat of the Indians in full-time mode since 1996, working for various raido and print networks around the country.
