Tue Jul 15 2014 | 16:48 | Indians option Zach McAllister to AAA level |
Indians optioned RHP Zach McAllister to Triple-A Columbus. |
McAllister owns a rough 5.63 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and 45/21 K/BB ratio in 54 1/3 innings (11 starts) this season for the Indians. The 26-year-old right-hander could get another shot at some point in the second half of 2014, but he is doubtful to hold fantasy relevance. |

House in the rotation next week or if House will retain his spot. |

Zach McAllister (back) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday. |
If the outing goes well, he'll rejoin the Indians' rotation next weekend. McAllister was touched up for three runs on nine hits and a walk over 4 1/3 frames at Low-A Lake County in his first rehab start, but the most important thing is that he feels healthy. T.J. House will be booted from the rotation when McAllister is ready. |

McAllister would seem to have a good shot to return around the time he's first eligible on June 6. |

Wed May 21 2014 | 17:39 | Zach McAllister's struggles continue |
Zach McAllister's slide continued Wednesday, as he was touched up for five runs - four earned - over just two innings before managing a no-decision in an 11-10 extra innings win over the Tigers. |
McAllister permitted five hits - including a pair of homers - while walking two. The Indians wound up using nine pitchers on the day but pulled off the win in 13 inning on a walk-off balk. The big right-hander has hit a wall recently, giving up a whopping 18 runs - 17 earned - over his last 7 2/3 innings. His ERA has gone from 3.18 to 5.89 over that time. McAllister's rotation spot probably isn't in danger yet, but his leash can't be terribly long. He'll try to reverse the trend next week with starts against the White Sox and Rockies. |

Zach McAllister earned his second loss of the season in Wednesday's start against the Indians, allowing five runs (four earned) in 4 1/3 innings. |
That makes it back-to-back outings for McAllister in which he has failed to pitch past the fifth inning. In Wednesday's start, he allowed four hits, walked four, and struck out five. He also allowed his first home run of the season, a two-run home run to Hank Conger in the second inning. McAllister will dust himself off and look for improvement in his next start against the Reds. |

He'll move up in the rotation to take the place of Carlos Carrasco, who has been moved to the bullpen.

The Indians are expected to call up either Trevor Bauer or Josh Tomlin next week to return to a standard five-man rotation. |

Zach McAllister pitched six innings and allowed three runs -- two earned -- Monday as the Indians edged the Royals 4-3. |
McAllister moved to 3-0 this season. The Indians have won all four of his starts this year, plus his final three from last season, so he must be doing something right. That something is that he's gone 23 2/3 innings without allowing a homer this year. |

McAllister walked one and struck out three on the afternoon. The 26-year-old hurler has struggled to the tune of a 6.06 ERA this spring, but still has a spot locked up in the Indians Opening Day rotation. He'll have one final Cactus League tuneup before taking the hill in the third regular season contest. |
