MLB Note - Cleveland Indians Almonte, Abraham

Jul 27, 2017 - 7:27 AM OF Abraham Almonte was optioned to Triple-A Columbus prior to Wednesday's game. The move was made so the Indians could recall RHP Shawn Armstrong to bolster the relief corps after the Indians used six relievers in their 11-7 victory in 11 innings Tuesday night. "As exciting as (Tuesday night) was, a lot of times a player has to pay the price for it," manager Terry Francona said. "We didn't want to send Abe down, but we have to protect our arms."
