Indians RP Tom Mastny made his first major league start Tuesday against the Rangers after 68 career relief appearances. It did not go as planned in a 12-7 loss. Mastny struggled through a 37-pitch first inning and lasted only 1 1/3 innings, allowing five runs and six hits. Mastny was replacing Jake Westbrook, who went on the disabled list Monday with an inflamed right elbow. The Rangers put four runs on the board in the first, that included back-to-back homers from Josh Hamilton and Milton Bradley.

Indians SP Jake Westbrook is back on the disabled list for the second time this season with an inflamed right elbow. Westbrook was sent to the DL retroactive to Thursday, the day after his last start. He is 1-2 with a 3.12 ERA in five starts this season and was on the DL from April 20 to May 28. The Indians recalled RP Jensen Lewis to take Westbrook's place on the roster. Lewis is 0-2 with a 3.58 ERA in 20 appearances this season for Cleveland. He was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on May 24.

Indians RP Tom Mastny will make his first major league start Tuesday night for the Cleveland Indians. Mastny was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday to rejoin Cleveland's bullpen. But he's being pressed into starting duty against the Texas Rangers because SP Jake Westbrook was scratched from his scheduled start and landed on the DL.

Cleveland right-hander Jake Westbrook has been scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday and is headed back to the disabled list. During their game Monday night at Texas, the Indians said Westbrook would be placed on the disabled list Tuesday because of right elbow inflammation. The DL move will be retroactive to Thursday, the day after his last start. The Indians will call up a pitcher from the minor leagues to start Tuesday. They didn't announce who that would be.
