The Indians announced that they have designated outfielder Ezequiel Carrera for assignment. In a related move, the Tribe recalled left-hander Scott Barnes from Triple-A Columbus.
The move marks the second time that Carrera has been designated for assignment by Cleveland this season. For those of you keeping track of the 25-year-old's travels, Carrera was DFA'd by the Tribe and went to the Phillies before winding back up with the Indians.
Carrera had three hits in 21 plate appearances for the Indians and Phillies this year. In parts of three big league seasons, Carrera owns a .251/.306/.339 slash line with two homers. He's fared better at the Triple-A level where he has hit .286/.351/.372 across three seasons.
