Pomeranz promoted to Akron

The Indians have promoted High-A Kinston left-handed pitcher Drew Pomeranz to Double-A Akron. In 15 starts for Kinston he went 3-2 with a 1.87 ERA, and in 77.0 innings allowed 56 hits, 32 walks, and had 95 strikeouts. He is currently in Arizona to take part in the Futures Game on Sunday, and then after that will travel to Akron and join up with them on Wednesday when they leave for a road trip to Harrisburg. Where he will slot into the Akron rotation or who he may be replacing is unknown at this point.  Neither will likely be known until later this coming week.
