T.J. House will take the rotation spot left vacant by Wednesday's trade of Justin Masterson. Masterson was shipped to the Cardinals in exchange for outfielder prospect James Ramsey. House owns a rough 4.50 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in 50 innings this season at the major league level and is not a good fantasy option.

Indians optioned LHP T.J. House to Triple-A Columbus. That means Danny Salazar will stick around, at least until Justin Masterson (knee) returns. House holds a 4.50 ERA over 50 innings this season and isn't guaranteed any more starts with the big club.

T.J. House surrendered three runs in five innings Monday in a no-decision against the Twins. House didn't lose his spot as the Indians' fifth starter despite being sent down for the All-Star break, but his job could be in jeopardy pending Danny Salazar's outing on Tuesday. It'd be best for the Indians if Salazar steps up and claims the spot.

Indians recalled LHP T.J. House from Triple-A Columbus. House will start for the Indians on Monday night against the Twins. He has an underwhelming 4.40 ERA and 1.53 WHIP this year at the major league level and is not a good fantasy bet, even against light-hitting Minnesota.

T.J. House will be recalled to start on Monday against the Twins. House was optioned before the All-Star break in order to keep pitching. Danny Salazar is expected to follow him on Tuesday, and whoever pitches better of the two could stick around until Justin Masterson (knee) returns.

Indians optioned LHP T.J. House to Triple-A Columbus. House holds a 4.40 ERA, a 1.53 WHIP, and a 30/11 K/BB ratio over 45 innings for the Tribe this season. He could return as the No. 5 starter after the All-Star break.

T.J. House struggled, allowing three runs in 4 2/3 innings but escaped with a no-decision as the Indians came from behind to defeat the Yankees 9-3 on Thursday.House served up two runs in the fourth, allowing a two-run home run to Zelous Wheeler. With two outs in the fifth, the Yankees strung together a hit batsman and two singles to score another run. Vinnie Pestano was able to get the final out of the inning to end the threat, however. House has a 4.40 ERA, a 1.53 WHIP, and a 30/11 K/BB ratio heading into the All-Star break.

Indians manager Terry Francona said Tuesday that T.J. House will remain the team's No. 5 starter for the time being. "Yes, I told you that the other day," Francona said. "If he wasn't, he wouldn't be here. We're not going to keep a guy if he isn't pitching. We'd go get a reliever." House was just supposed to make a spot start Sunday with Justin Masterson (knee) banged up, but he pitched well and the Tribe will evidently keep him around rather than bring back Zach McAllister. The left holds a 4.54 ERA and 1.51 ERA this season.
