Josh Tomlin - R - Indians

Josh Tomlin (elbow) is currently throwing from up to 75 feet.

Tomlin said his recovery from August Tommy John surgery is going well, but he's focused on getting to 100 percent for 2014 rather than making a late-season return this year. The right-hander posted a 6.36 ERA in 16 starts and five relief appearances with the Indians last season.

Josh Tomlin - R - Indians

Indians activated RHP Josh Tomlin from the 60-day disabled list.

Tomlin posted a 6.36 ERA in 16 starts and five relief appearances with the Indians this season before undergoing Tommy John surgery in August. The 28-year-old right-hander is likely to miss most of the 2013 season.

Indians transferred RHP Josh Tomlin from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

It's a move made in order to free up a 40-man roster spot for the return of Lonnie Chisenhall. Tomlin is out for this season and most (if not all) of next following Tommy John surgery.

Josh Tomlin will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery.

It concludes what has been a miserable season for the right-hander, as Tomlin put up a 6.36 ERA over 101 1/3 innings before being placed on the disabled list earlier this month. Tomlin will likely be sidelined for most of the 2013 season, as well.

Josh Tomlin - R - Indians

Josh Tomlin (elbow) will meet with Dr. Lewis Yocum on Tuesday to get a second opinion on his injured right elbow.

Tomlin was brutal before being placed on the DL on Tuesday, posting a 5-8 record and 6.36 ERA over 101 1/3 innings, and perhaps the elbow soreness contributed to the poor performance. In all likelihood, he'll be shut down for the remainder of the season, but isn't a reliable fantasy option anyways.

Josh Tomlin - R - Indians

Indians placed RHP Josh Tomlin on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to August 13, with a right elbow injury.

The exact nature of the injury isn't yet known, but Tomlin is scheduled to have his elbow examined by Dr. Lewis Yocum while the team is in California. The 27-year-old right-hander has a 6.36 ERA over 101 1/3 innings this season. Roberto Hernandez was added to the active roster in a corresponding roster move and will start Wednesday night.

Josh Tomlin - R - Indians

Josh Tomlin is scheduled for an arm examination with specialist Dr. Lewis Yocum while the Indians are in California.

Tomlin has suffered from elbow soreness all year, perhaps explaining his horrific stats (5-8 with a 6.36 ERA over 101 1/3 innings). His peripheral stats are much better than those surface-level outputs, so one would assume Tomlin is hurting. Even in the bullpen, Cleveland can't afford to stomach Tomlin's performance much longer. Resolution appears to be coming.

Josh Tomlin has been moved to the bullpen.

And he's likely to remain there for the rest of the year. Tomlin has posted a disappointing 5.81 ERA in 97 2/3 innings this season. He holds zero fantasy value.

Josh Tomlin appeared in relief in Tuesday's game against the Royals.

The Indians wouldn't reveal over the weekend whether Tomlin would remain in the rotation, but obviously he's been demoted. It's not clear at this point who will take his spot in the rotation Thursday.

Josh Tomlin - R - Indians

Indians manager Manny Acta said no decision has been made on Josh Tomlin's spot in the rotation.

"We've talked, but we have to sit back and wait until the trading deadline goes by," said Acta. "We have plenty of time. It would be foolish for us to make any type of move before the deadline." Tomlin holds a 7.02 ERA over his last seven starts and will almost surely lose his spot when Roberto Hernandez is ready. The Indians might not wait that long to make a move, though.

Josh Tomlin - R - Indians

Josh Tomlin was absolutely obliterated in Friday's loss to the Twins, surrendering eight runs on 10 hits in just four innings.

Tomlin struck out two and didn't walk a batter in the short outing. Justin Morneau blasted a three-run homer to get the party started in the first inning, then Josh Willingham belted his own three-run blast as part of a five-run fourth inning to finish the job. Tomlin has been atrocious to this point in the season, going 5-8 with a 5.87 ERA over 95 innings. If the Indians are serious about competing for a playoff spot, they'd be wise to replace Tomlin in the rotation before he takes on the Royals in Kansas City on Thursday. He shouldn't be owned in any mixed leagues.

Josh Tomlin limited the Orioles to two runs on eight hits in six innings of Sunday's loss.

Tomlin struck out two and walked none in falling to 5-7. His biggest mistake came in the first, where he served up a two-run homer to J.J. Hardy. The quality outing was just his second in his past six starts. He'll bring a 5.34 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 51/21 K/BB ratio into his Friday start against the Twins in Minnesota.

Josh Tomlin struggled in Tuesday's loss to the Rays, allowing four runs on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Tomlin walked one and struck out one in the game. The Rays jumped on him right out of the gate, with Carlos Pena belting a two-run homer just two batters in. Luke Scott added an RBI triple before the inning ended, which would eventually stand as the game-winning run. Tomlin has been mediocre at best for the Tribe, posting a 5-6 record and 5.51 ERA over 15 starts. He'll look for better results when he faces the Orioles at home Sunday.

Josh Tomlin - R - Indians

Josh Tomlin pitched extremely well in a victory over the Rays on Thursday, surrendering just one run on two hits over seven masterful innings.

Tomlin fanned three and didn't walk a batter in the game. The only run he allowed on the night scored on an RBI groundout after Will Rhymes' triple in the fifth inning. It was a solid rebound performance for Tomlin who was hammered by the Orioles last week. He'll head into the second half of the season with a 5-5 record and 5.45 ERA, and remains a fringe play at best in most fantasy formats.
