RHP Danny Salazar, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list on June 6 with right shoulder soreness, had an MRI on the shoulder that showed some inflammation but no structural damage.

RHP Danny Salazar (right shoulder soreness) was placed on the 10-day disabled list retroactive to Sunday. He will go to Double-A Akron, where he will work with pitching coach Tony Arnold with minor league pitching coordinator Ruben Niebla also scheduled to be part of the process. "When he was with Tony, he was young and on his way," manager Terry Francona said. "He had such a good feeling about it. Mickey (Callaway, pitching coach) and I talked to Danny about a lot of things on Monday. He was on board with this. We want to be consistent with what we're doing, but I think we all felt that it would be good for Tony and Ruben to see him. Not that we're going to reinvent the wheel, but we all felt like it might be helpful." Salazar lost his spot in the Indians' rotation after a May 27 start. He subsequently made two relief appearances, the last on Saturday at Kansas City, where Salazar threw 37 pitches in 1 2/3 innings. "He had some swelling in his shoulder after the second time he pitched out of the 'pen," Francona said. "He checked out OK, but he's a little tender. He'll take a couple of days (off), then he'll start to ramp back up as long as he feels OK," said Francona. "This can be in a controlled environment. Hopefully, maybe in four or five days, he can throw a couple of innings."

RHP Danny Salazar was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday with right shoulder soreness. The pain increased during Saturday's relief appearance against the Kansas City Royals. He was an All-Star last season but is just 3-5 with a 5.40 ERA in 12 appearances (10 starts) in 2017.

He won a combined 25 games over the past two seasons before this year's hardships.

RHP Danny Salazar threw 37 pitches in relief Saturday and is no longer a candidate to start Wednesday at Colorado. "We put Danny in the bullpen because we felt like he's not situated right now to maybe have success," Francona said. "He's got some work to do. The best thing right now is keep him where he is and let him keep working more often. He'll have more chances to throw in shorter segments. He's still not where he needs to be."

RHP Danny Salazar will likely draw the starting assignment Wednesday in Colorado. Manager Terry Francona hinted he is leaning in that direction. Salazar went 3-5 with a 5.50 ERA in 10 starts before being dispatched to the bullpen. He allowed one run on three hits and struck out two in 1 2/3 innings Saturday against the Royals. "When he executes pitches, he can go right through a hitter," Francona said. "But when he doesn't, there is pretty solid contact. We're still working at it."

RHP Danny Salazar, whose struggles have resulted in him being removed from the rotation and sent to the bullpen, made his first relief appearance since that change was made. Manager Terry Francona brought Salazar into the game to pitch the ninth inning, with the Indians leading 8-0. "It was a perfect situation for him," Francona said. "And he came out with intent. It was good to get him into a game. We'll see where it goes from there."

In 10 starts before being moved out of the rotation, Salazar was 3-5 with a 5.50 ERA, while averaging nearly five walks per nine innings. "This is not our goal, to have him in the pen, but it wasn't getting done," manager Terry Francona said. "You can banish a guy to the pen, send him to the penalty box. We're not going to do that. This is temporary. But right now, he doesn't have a ton of confidence."

RHP Danny Salazar has been demoted by the Cleveland Indians. Sanchez will be sent to bullpen to work on his throwing routine and regain his confidence. Salazar, an All-Star last season, is 3-5 with a 5.50 ERA in 10 starts this season, striking out 73 in 52 1/3 innings but allowing 55 hits and 28 walks. He owns the league's best strikeout rate.

He owns the league's best strikeout rate.Manager Terry Francona said the 27-year-old Salazar will be available as a reliever beginning Wednesday and he might start a game next week during Cleveland's road trip."I don't think he's really confident right now," Francona told reporters before Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals. "You can kind of tell in his delivery. When he's feeling good, he gets it and goes (and) there's a lot of rhythm in that delivery. When he's kind of hoping, it starts to slow down. You can tell somebody that, but how do you make it happen?"One, you can work your (tail) off. Two, you pay attention to your catch game, because that's where they start to build their confidence and it goes from there."Salazar was 11-6 with a 3.87 ERA in 25 starts last season, but he missed most of the second half with a sore elbow."We're trying to not start from scratch," Francona said, "but build a baseline to build confidence."Francona said right-hander Corey Kluber will start Thursday against the Oakland Athletics. Kluber has been on the 10-day disabled since May 3 with a strained lower back.

RHP Danny Salazar struggled again on Saturday, walking five and giving up six hits and four runs in 5 1/3 innings. After the game, manager Terry Francona hinted that Salazar's spot in the rotation may not be secure. "The walks really hurt. He wasn't commanding the ball the way he wanted to," Francona said. "We'll put our heads together and decide what the next best step is for him." Salazar has failed to pitch six innings in any of his last five starts. In those starts, he is 1-3 with a 6.94 ERA, and 14 walks and eight home runs allowed in 23 1/3 innings.

"He's got good enough stuff to punch out nine. He gives up six hits, but four of them are home runs. When he made a mistake he really paid for it."
