BALTIMORE (AP) — The Cleveland Indians have recalled outfielder Ezequiel Carrera from Triple-A Columbus.
The move was announced Thursday. It comes after the Indians put right-hander Mitch Talbot on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a lower back strain.
The 24-year-old Carrera made his major league debut earlier this season after being recalled by Cleveland on May 20. He went 2 for 8 with two RBIs before being optioned to Columbus on May 26.
At Columbus, Carrera hit .288 with eight doubles, three triples, two homers and 25 RBIs in 81 games.
