Game Thread: Tigers @ Indians - August 7, 2013

Pre-Game Reading Material:

• Series Preview: Detroit Tigers - August 5-8

Latest News

The Indians and Ryan Raburn have agreed to an extension through the 2015 season. I'll have more on this signing tonight/tomorrow morning, but my initial take is that it's a decent deal for the Indians and Raburn.

The Indians have also recalled Danny Salazar from Columbus, as he'll be the started tonight. To make room for Salazar on the 40-man roster, they have optioned Matt Langwell to Columbus.

As expected, Indians option RHP Matt Langwell back to AAA to clear roster spot for Salazar (tonight's starter). Quick trip up and down I-71.
