Changes Happened: Lewis Down, Fausto DL

So, some changes happened as we expected them to. They are very surprising though.

Nothing new on Fausto, but they know enough to place him on the 15 Day DL.

That solves that "Aaron Laffey Problem" for a few more weeks. That is baseball for you, always working itself out.

To take his place on the roster, they called up Edward Mujica, who will probably be the guy that goes back down when Westbrook is ready to start next Wednesday. Mujica is no stranger to that though.

They also called down Jensen Lewis, which is a surprise to most people, but once you hear the explanation, it makes a lot of sense.

They aren't please with Lewis and the way he's started the year. They think there are some things that he needs to work out, and that they can get corrected faster in Buffalo.

The idea is, Jorge Julio isn't gonna last.. But, you'd rather fix Jensen Lewis than screw around with Julio any longer. So, Lewis will take some time in Buffalo(a place he didn't really pitch long at anyway), fix what is wrong and then return. The corresponding move would be to release Julio. That is some time down the road though, could be a few weeks, could be a month, it all depends on how quickly Lewis does what they want him to do.

Elarton has been on fire in Buffalo, he's given up one run in his last 9 appearances, and is sort of a new guy. He is now in the bullpen, and has been there since the Indians picked him back up in August.

He could be a nice little option out there, he can give us those 2 innings if we need it, or whatever. Wedge was trying to use Julio as a guy who could come in early(like in the Fausto game on Friday), and try and hold a little lead for a couple innings. Plus this sort of gives them that long relief guy(the game with Fausto getting hurt is pretty much the only time they needed it though) that the bullpen lacks.

Elarton takes Breslows' vacated 40 man roster spot.

Just a lot of moves right now.. This also keeps Andy Marte in tact. When Shin-Soo Choo returns, it will be Michael Aubrey that gets sent down, keeping Andy Marte for even longer.
