Robert Whitenack - S - Indians

Indians designated RHP Robert Whitenack for assignment.

The Tribe claimed Whitenack off waivers from the Cubs last week but had to dump him Tuesday to clear a 40-man roster spot for catcher Omir Santos. Whitenack posted a 5.96 ERA in 51-plus innings last year in High-A ball. The 24-year-old is far from prospect status.

Robert Whitenack - S - Indians

Indians claimed RHP Robert Whitenack off waivers from the Cubs; optioned him to Double-A Akron.

Frank Herrmann (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Whitenack had a 5.96 ERA and 31/27 K/BB ratio in 51 1/3 innings last season at High-A Daytona, but he showed some ability prior to Tommy John surgery in 2011. The 24-year-old will serve as relief depth in the minors.

Robert Whitenack - S - Indians

Cubs designated RHP Robert Whitenack for assignment.

Whitenack posted an ugly 5.96 ERA, 1.89 WHIP and 31/27 K/BB ratio in 51 1/3 innings last season at High-A Daytona. The 24-year-old will probably pass through waivers and remain in the Cubs' farm system.

Apr 1 - 11:11 AM

Robert Whitenack - S - Indians

Cubs purchased the contract of RHP Robert Whitenack from High-A Daytona.

Whitenack showed promise in 2011 but fell back in 2012 with a 5.96 ERA over 15 High-A starts. The Cubs think enough of him to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft, however.

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Carlos Santana
	2	Lou Marson D.L. Lou Marson has been pulled from his rehab assignment with Triple-A Columbus due to continued soreness in his right shoulder. Bad news for Marson, who has been sidelined since late April with right shoulder inflammation. There's no timetable for his return. Jun 12
	3	Yan Gomes
1B	1	Nick Swisher Sidelined Nick Swisher received a cortisone shot in his left shoulder and is likely to be sidelined until at least Friday. The shoulder has been an ongoing issue for Swisher, who aggravated the injury during Sunday's game. An MRI has ruled out any structural damage, but the Indians haven't ruled out the possibility of a stint on the disabled list. The Indians figure to see how he responds to the shot before making a roster move. Jun 17
2B	1	Jason Kipnis
SS	1	Asdrubal Cabrera D.L. Asdrubal Cabrera (quad) has resumed a throwing program. Cabrera has been shut down since being placed on the disabled list earlier this month. Originally given a 3-4 week timetable, the Indians are hoping that he can return sometime before the All-Star break. Jun 15

	3	Juan Diaz

S	1	Justin Masterson
	2	Ubaldo Jimenez
	3	Brett Myers D.L. Indians transferred RHP Brett Myers from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move was made to clear room on the 40-man roster for John McDonald. Myers has been out since late April with a mild UCL tear and was shut down last month after he felt renewed soreness. He's throwing again but could possibly return as a reliever. Jun 10
	4	Zach McAllister D.L. Zach McAllister (finger) is expected to be sidelined anywhere from two to four weeks. It sounds like it will probably be closer to four weeks, as Indians manager Terry Francona said the club will be "overly cautious" if they need to. "I think throwing his curveball aggravated it," said Francona. "Last year he was just flipping the curveball. Now he's been gripping it and ripping it and that seam [on the ball] has been digging into that finger. We've got to get that soreness out of there." Jun 9
	5	Scott Kazmir
	6	Carlos Carrasco
	7	Josh Tomlin D.L. Josh Tomlin (elbow) has been throwing two bullpen sessions per week. He's also playing catch a couple times per week. Tomlin underwent Tommy John surgery last August but could possibly make it back to the Indians before the end of the season. Jun 10
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Chris Perez D.L. Chris Perez (shoulder) is expected to be activated from the disabled list Friday. Perez, out since May 26 with shoulder soreness, allowed two hits and struck out one Sunday in his first rehab appearance with Low-A Lake County. He'll have to make it through another appearance Tuesday, but it sounds like he's on track to return later this week. Vinnie Pestano will continue to serve as the fill-in closer for now, though he has only notched one save during Perez's absence. Jun 17
	2	Vinnie Pestano
	3	Joe Smith
	4	Matt Albers
	5	Bryan Shaw
	6	Rich Hill
	7	Cody Allen
	8	Corey Kluber
	9	Matt Langwell
	10	Nick Hagadone
	11	Blake Wood D.L. Blake Wood (elbow) will continue his minor league rehab assignment Wednesday with Class A Lake County. Wood felt some soreness in his surgically-repaired elbow during his first appearance on Saturday, but it was only a minor scare. The 27-year-old right-hander is currently in recovery mode from Tommy John surgery and will likely need a handful of appearances before he's a legitimate consideration for the major league roster. May 14
	12	Frank Herrmann D.L. Indians transferred RHP Frank Herrmann from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for the newly-claimed Robert Whitenack on the 40-man roster. Herrmann had Tommy John surgery in March and will miss the entire 2013 season. Apr 3
