Indians optioned LHP Nick Hagadone to Triple-A Columbus.
Hagadone was hoping to win a spot in the bullpen, but he was unable to do so despite a 2.53 ERA in nine spring appearances. He should get a shot at some point with the big club.

Indians recalled LHP Nick Hagadone from Triple-A Columbus.
Hagadone was just sent back to the minors over the weekend, but is able to return due to the injury to Shin-Soo Choo. The former Red Sox farmhand has pitched exclusively in relief this season, posting a 2.79 ERA and 77/22 K/BB ratio over 71 innings between Double-A Akron and Triple-A Columbus. The 24-year-old southpaw has held lefty batters to a .127 batting average with the Clippers, so he could have a real future in the Indians' bullpen.

Indians optioned LHP Nick Hagadone to Triple-A Columbus.
Hagadone was with the Tribe for only two days and didn't appear in a game. He'll likely be back next month when rosters expand.

Indians recalled LHP Nick Hagadone from Triple-A Columbus.
Hagadone, who was acquired from the Red Sox two years ago as part of the Victor Martinez deal, has been moved to the bullpen full-time this season due to injury and control problems. He's thrived, posting a 2.74 ERA and 75/22 K/BB ratio over 69 relief innings between Double- and Triple-A. He'll likely be used in a middle relief role initially.
