CLEVELAND (AP) -Joe Borowski is back in the bullpen for the Indians, who activated the right-hander Friday prior to playing the Texas Rangers in the opener of a six-game homestand.
Left-hander Craig Breslow was designated for assignment to make roster room for Borowski, whose 45 saves led the AL a year ago.
Borowski had been sidelined since April 15 with a strained right triceps that had caused him to lose velocity on his pitches. In five appearances, he went 0-2 with an 18.00 ERA, allowing eight runs and seven hits in only four innings
Borowski made two rehab appearances this week in the minors, working one scoreless inning apiece at Class A Lake County and Double-A Akron.
Breslow, claimed off outright waivers from the Boston Red Sox on March 23, appeared in seven games in relief for Cleveland, compiling no record and a 3.24 ERA in 8 1-3 innings.
