I don't know if Cleveland Indians starter Jake Westbrook has enjoyed all the time he's spent on the disabled list the last two seasons, but I know he's having a hard time staying away from it. Just a few weeks after returning from his latest stint, Westbrook felt a little soreness in is elbow after his last start against the White Sox.The Indians were hoping that it was nothing out of the ordinary, and that Jake would be fine in time for his next scheduled start tonight in Arlington against the Rangers. He won't be, as he's been placed back on the disabled list.
This poses an interesting problem for the Indians, as they have no idea who is going to take Jake's place in the rotation while he's down.
The club will make a corresponding roster move to bring up a pitcher from Triple-A Buffalo for Tuesday's game. Manager Eric Wedge said Monday night that Tuesday's starter had yet to be determined, and, with sixth starter Jeremy Sowers unavailable because of the seven innings he tossed Sunday, it was possible the Indians would use a host of relievers for the ballgame.
"We've got to talk about it," Wedge said. "We've got a couple different options, and we've got to get somebody on their way."
