The Guardians are sending Zak Kent back to Columbus and promoting left-hander Doug Nikhazy for his first stint on a major league roster. Trainiax on Twitter had the news:
The Cleveland Guardians have optioned RHP Zak Kent to AAA Columbus, presumably setting up for the reported promotion of LHP Doug Nikhazy tomorrow.
