Phillies claimed OF Ezequiel Carrera off waivers from the Indians.

Rule 5 pick Ender Inciarte was designated for assignment in a corresponding roster move. Carrera owns an underwhelming .255/.306/.347 batting line over 384 plate appearances in the majors, but he has speed and is capable of playing all three outfield positions. He should be a useful bench player for Charlie Manuel.

Indians designated OF Ezequiel Carrera for assignment.

The move clears room on the 40-man roster for Jason Giambi. Carrera owns an underwhelming .255/.306/.347 batting line over 384 plate appearances in the majors, but he has speed and is capable of playing all three outfield positions. It's possible he'll draw interest on waivers.

The Indians have told outfielder Ezequiel Carrera that he will not make the Opening Day roster.

Carrera is out of options, so the Indians will attempt to trade him. The 25-year-old owns an underwhelming .255/.306/.347 batting line over 384 plate appearances in the majors, but he has speed and is capable of playing all three outfield positions. He could latch on somewhere as a reserve outfielder.

Indians recalled OF Ezequiel Carrera from Triple-A Columbus.

Carrera has spent all of this season in the minors, batting .294/.345/.419 with six homers and 26 steals for Columbus. He'll back up at all three outfield spots.

Indians optioned OF Ezequiel Carrera, SS Juan Diaz and RHP Corey Kluber to Triple-A Columbus.

Of the three, Carrera probably had the best chance to crack the Opening Day roster, especially with Grady Sizemore's injury. But, he batted just .227/.292/.227 this spring to earn a trip to Triple-A to start the season.

Batting leadoff in his second major league doubleheader, Ezequiel Carrera went 5-for-10 with two runs and an RBI.

He also stole his sixth base of the season. Carrera is the beneficiary of Mickey Brantley's temporary absence, and he's making the most of it with seven hits in his last three games.

Carrera was shipped out of Cleveland yesterday but will return 24 hours later because Shelley Duncan was placed on the Family Medical Emergency List. Carrera received significant playing time over the past five weeks, but he won't get the same at-bats this time around now that Shin-Soo Choo and Michael Brantley are healthy and Kosuke Fukudome is playing center field on a regular basis. The 24-year-old is batting .236/.292/.281 with four doubles, six RBI and four stolen bases over 100 plate appearances with Cleveland this season.

Indians optioned OF Ezequiel Carrera to Triple-A Columbus.

Carrera has seen significant playing time over the past five weeks, but he's no longer necessary now that Shin-Soo Choo and Michael Brantley are healthy and Kosuke Fukudome is playing center field on a regular basis. The 24-year-old is batting .236/.292/.281 with four doubles, six RBI and four stolen bases over 100 plate appearances with the big club this season. He should be back when the rosters expand in September.

Ezequiel Carrera singled three times in four at-bats in Friday's win over the Twins.

All three of the singles for the speedy outfielder were of the infield variety. Carrera is getting some playing time with Grad Sizemore on the shelf, but he doesn't done a whole lot with it, batting just .244 with four extra-base hits in 31 games.

Ezequiel Carrera went 1-for-2 with an RBI and walk in Cleveland's loss to the White Sox on Sunday.

Carrera is now batting .292 in 10 games since rejoining the Indians on July 13. He won't give you much power, but he remains worth a look in AL-only leagues.

Indians manager Manny Acta said that Ezequiel Carrera will get the bulk of playing time now that both Grady Sizemore and Shin-Soo Choo are on the DL.

The 23-year-old outfielder is worth a look in deeper AL-only leagues immediately. Acquired as part of the Russell Branyan deal a season ago, Carrera has just three singles and no walks in 15 plate appearances over eight games so far. He does have jets, however, stealing 35 bases in 81 games at Triple-A earlier this season.

Carrera picked up two hits in eight at-bats during a stint with the Tribe back in May. He's likely in for a short stay, as he'll probably be sent back down when Jeanmar Gomez is called up to start Sunday.

The Indians will call up outfielder Ezequiel Carrera from Triple-A Columbus before Thursday's game against the Orioles.

He'll take the place of the injured Mitch Talbot on the active roster, at least for a couple days. The 23-year-old outfielder went 2-for-8 with two RBI in a stint with the big club back in May. He's unlikely to be fantasy relevant.

Indians optioned OF Ezequiel Carrera to Triple-A Columbus.

He was sent out to make room for Grady Sizemore, who is expected to be activated from the disabled list this weekend. Carrera, 23, went 2-for-8 (.250) with two RBI and three strikeouts during his brief stay in the big leagues.

Ezequiel Carrera scored the game-winning run on a bunt single in his first major league at-bat Friday.

After pinch-hitting for Shelley Duncan in the DH slot, Carrera laid down a perfectly placed bunt down the first-base line on the first pitch to score Shin-Soo Choo from third base. The speedster, who was just recalled earlier in the day, could get a decent amount of playing time with the Tribe banged up.

Acquired as part of the Russell Branyan deal a season ago, Carrera will be taking Travis Hafner's place on the Indians' 25-man roster after he landed on the disabled list with a strained right oblique on Friday. Carrera was hitting a solid .317 to go along with a .401 on-base percentage through his first 166 plate appearances for Columbus, and could be worth a look in deeper AL-only leagues, as he figures to receive a decent number of at-bats with the Tribe being absolutely decimated by injury at the moment.

Indians acquired OF Ezequiel Carrera and SS Juan Diaz from the Mariners for 1B Russell Branyan.

The M's acquired Carrera from the Mets in last year's J.J. Putz trade. The 23-year-old has good speed, but was batting just .268 with a 654 OPS at Triple-A Tacoma and could struggle to find a role in the big leagues. He will start his Indians career with Triple-A Columbus.
