Herrin

Herrin took a comebacker off his pitching elbow, but X-rays came back clean for any fractures. He will take time off to allow the swelling and bruising to go down.

Herrin is day-to-day with a contusion after taking a comebacker off his pitching elbow during Wednesday’s relief outing against the Twins. He appears to have avoided serious injury, but will probably need a couple days off for the pain and swelling to subside before he’s able to pitch again. It could be an injured list situation if the Guardians don’t want to go shorthanded in the bullpen during their last couple games prior to the All-Star break.

Herrin fortifies Cleveland’s relief mix heading into Sunday’s contest against Atlanta. The 28-year-old southpaw boasts a pedestrian 4.06 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 30/24 K/BB ratio across 31 innings (39 starts) this season in the majors.

Herrin has been shipped back to the minors with Carlos Hernández joining Cleveland’s bullpen for Saturday’s game against the Twins.

Herrin, who had a 3.99 ERA in 37 appearances before being sent down on July 9, takes Emmanuel Clase’s spot on the Guardians roster. He went without a walk in four innings for Columbus after issuing 22 (one intentional) in 29 1/3 innings for the Guardians.

Herrin heads back to the minors to allow Cleveland to add lefty Kolby Allard to their active roster. The 28-year-old lefty has compiled a respectable 3.99 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 28/22 K/BB ratio across 29 1/3 innings (37 appearances) this season in the big leagues. He made a career-high 75 relief appearances last year for the Guardians.

Herrin was drilled in the arm by a line drive off the bat of Oneil Cruz. The ball appeared to hit him just above the elbow on his left arm. He’ll head for further evaluation — and possibly imaging — to see exactly what’s going on there. The Guardians should have an update on his status shortly.

The Guardians needed to free up a spot in the bullpen for Cody Morris on Friday and it looks like Herrin was once again the odd-man out this time around. The 26-year-old southpaw has struggled in his opportunities with the big league club this season, compiling a 5.53 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 32/12 K/BB ratio across 27 2/3 frames.

Herrin has been summoned to take fellow left-hander Daniel Norris’ spot in Cleveland’s bullpen ahead of Thursday’s contest against the Tigers. The 26-year-old southpaw has struggled to a 5.55 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 28/11 K/BB ratio across 24 1/3 innings (20 appearances) this season in the big leagues.

The 26-year-old hurler has struggled during his time with the Guardians this season — registering a 5.55 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and a 28/11 K/BB ratio over 24 1/3 innings. Daniel Norris had his contract selected from Triple-A Columbus on Monday to take his place and add some length to an overworked Guardians’ bullpen.
