Erik Gonzalez and Daniel Robertson promoted by Cleveland Indians

The Cleveland Indians have announced on Twitter that utility infielder Erik Gonzalez and veteran outfielder Daniel Robertson have been promoted.

To make room for the incoming players, the Indians have placed Brandon Guyer on the 10-day disabled list with a wrist injury and designated Michael Martinez for assignment.

Gonzalez spent a good deal of time with the Indians last season, serving as a bench player often subbed in as a defensive replacement late. In 21 games he had just 17 plate appearances, but hit .313/.353/.313 in that limited time. He has struggled offensively with the Triple-A Columbus Clippers this season with a .269/.293/.445 slash, but the Indians aren’t promoting him for his outstanding offensive ability — he will be a bench role-player.

Thirty-one-year-old Daniel Robertson has been a part of five major-league organizations since he was drafted in the 33rd round of the 2008 Amateur Draft. His latest stint in the majors was with the Seattle Mariners when he went 5-for-21 with a double and three strikeouts. Robertson has only appeared in four games for the Clippers this season, mostly due to a hamstring injury, but also because the Indians are flooded with Triple-A outfielders. He will start in right field for the Tribe today.
