Carmona Restricted

MLB placed the player formerly known as Fausto Carmona on the restricted list: With him on the restricted list, the Indians don’t have to count him toward their 25- or 40-man rosters and he won’t be paid until he reports. That should save the Indians a little money, but it also puts them down a pitcher. At this point, the rotation looks like Ubaldo Jimenez, Justin Masterson, Derek Lowe, and then a grab bag of pitchers who started a bit last season. Josh Tomlin, Kevin Slowey, Jeanmar Gomez and Zach McAllister should all have a shot at filling out the rotation.
