He can’t keep inherited runners from scoring and shouldn’t be pitching in a league with a 3-batter minimum, but Adam Cimber’s roster spot remained safe on Tuesday, as one of his pen mates was sent to the ATS. Cam Hill, along with the 6 puny hits he allowed in 14 innings (4.01 SIERA, because of his low BABiP), was demoted.
After the head-scratching move, the Indians went on to whoop the Royals 10-1. Zach Plesac returned and pitched great, Cal Quantrill and Austin Hedges made their Indians debuts, and Austin Naylor collected 2 hits.
