Jeremy Sowers : June 4th, 2008, 5:50 pm est

According to The Sports Xchange notes: The vacant spot in the Indians' rotation will be more permanently filled when it comes up again Sunday. Left-hander Jeremy Sowers is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Buffalo, and he would assume Jake Westbrook's (elbow) spot in the rotation. Sowers, who was unavailable for Tuesday's start because he had pitched Sunday in Buffalo, could remain in the rotation for a considerable period of time, depending on the seriousness of Westbrook's injury. The return of Sowers to the rotation means the Indians for the next few weeks at least will use a rotation that includes two pitchers, Sowers and Aaron Laffey, who began the season in the rotation at Buffalo. That leaves the organization with virtually no starting pitching depth at Buffalo should there be another injury in the big-league rotation.
