DENVER - A trip to the bullpen didn't fix Danny Salazar, so the Indians are trying something new.
They put Salazar on the disabled list Tuesday in order to create a spot on the 25-man roster for outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall. But Salazar isn't going stay with the big-league club during his 10-day stay on the DL with a sore right shoulder.
The Indians sent him to Class AA Akron to work with pitching coach Tony Arnold. Ruben Niebla, minor league pitching coordinator, is going to work with him as well.
What the Indians are doing is sending Salazar, who has struggled since last year's the All-Star break, back to his roots.
