Westbrook to the DL; Francisco Called Up!

Jake Westbrook was placed on the 15 DL today for a strained muscle.

To take his roster spot, the Indians called up Ben Francisco.

Until Jake’s spot in the rotation comes back up, Francisco should stick, but when needed they will probably call up Aaron Laffey or Jeremy Sowers to pitch, then send them right back down.

This sucks, Jake has been pretty solid so far. Hopefully whoever they call up steps up and can give us a good start or two. We should also get to see what Ben Francisco has in the mean time.
