James Karinchak Called Up
2 years agoThe Cleveland Guardians recalled right-hander James Karinchak from Triple-A on Sunday and placed left-hander Anthony Gose (triceps) on the 15-day injured list with a strained left triceps in a corresponding move. The Guardians also selected the contract of left-hander Alex Young from Triple-A, optioned right-hander Anthony Castro to Triple-A and designated lefty Kirk McCarty for assignment. Karinchak was activated from the 60-day injured list on Saturday and sent to Columbus, but he'll return to the majors a day later. The 26-year-old has dealt with a shoulder issue since spring training but had a 5.73 ERA and 1.91 WHIP in 12 relief outings for Columbus on his rehab assignment. Cleveland may decide to ease him into setup duties.
