Kluber to Columbus, Carrasco to Cleveland

The Indians today announced that Double-A Akron right-handed pitcher Corey Kluber has been transferred to Triple-A Columbus and right-handed pitcher Shane Lindsay was transferred from Columbus to Akron. Lindsay will be starting tonight for Akron while Kluber - who was scheduled to pitch tomorrow for Akron - will take the rotation spot of right-handed pitcher Carlos Carrasco who is expected to be called up to Cleveland tomorrow.

Kluber made five starts with the Aeros and went 2-2 with a 3.76 ERA. The Coppell, Texas native gave up 12 runs (11 earned) on 38 hits with 21 strikeouts against 10 walks in 26.1 innings of work. Kluber had 157 strikeouts in Double-A this year between Akron and San Antonio, 11 more than any other pitcher.

Lindsay (1-0, 0.77 ERA) joins the Aeros again after playing in 10 games with them earlier this season. Lindsay was acquired off of waivers from the Yankees back in May and has given up three runs (one earned) on two hits with 18 strikeouts against 12 walks in 11.2 innings of work. The Aeros are 5-5 when the Melbourne, Australia native appears in a game. He will be wearing jersey No. 33.
