Colon joins relievers Zach McAllister (right hip) and Tommy Hunter (lower back) on the DL for the Indians. Due to a variety of issues throughout the season, Cleveland has cycled through 19 pitchers out of the bullpen. Closer Cody Allen, setup man Bryan Shaw and righties Dan Otero and Jeff Manship are the only pitchers who have remained in the Indians' bullpen since Opening Day.
As a group, Cleveland's 'pen entered Friday with a 3.72 ERA (seventh in the American League). As the Aug. 1 non-waiver Trade Deadline approaches, the Indians are in the market for help, and the club has been linked to Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman of the Yankees and Will Smith of the Brewers in recent trade rumors.
