The Indians have designated veteran starting pitcher Derek Lowe for assignment. The move creates roster space for pitching prospect Corey Kluber.Lowe pitched to a 5.52 ERA in 21 starts for Cleveland this year. He has had a 60% ground ball rate in 119 innings as well.
The Indians acquired Lowe from the Braves last off-season and they only had to pay $5 million of his $15 million annual salary. He has expressed interest in returning to the Red Sox, and they have been looking for some starting pitching help lately.
