Optioned RHP Jeanmar Gomez to Columbus (AAA)

Recalled LHP Scott Barnes from Columbus (AAA)

This has been coming for quite a while. Gomez hasn't been the same after Chicago, and after allowing five runs to the Astros, that was the final straw. He'll be replaced in the rotation by Zach McAllister, but until Zach is needed Scott Barnes was brought up to give the Indians an eight-man bullpen. Barnes was needed right away, as Josh Tomlin lasted only three innings last night, and he acquitted himself well, allowing a run in 2.2 innings of difficult work. That type of outing from a front-end reliever qualifies as an A given the grading curve in place.
