Indians recalled LHP David Huff from Triple-A Columbus.
He's get the start Sunday against the Twins. Huff boasts a 0.51 ERA and 15/4 K/BB ratio over three starts this year for the Tribe and could be worth using today while he's hot, but he's likely to hit a wall at some point.

Indians manager Manny Acta expects David Huff to be called up from the minors to start Sunday against the Twins.
He'll start in place of the injured Carlos Carrasco. Huff was optioned to Triple-A Columbus earlier this month to make room for Ubaldo Jimenez in the starting rotation, but he certainly pitched well enough to stick around. He'll bring a 0.51 ERA and 15/4 K/BB ratio over three starts into Sunday's outing.

Indians optioned RHP LHP David Huff to Triple-A Columbus.
He hardly deserved the demotion, but somebody had to go to make room for Ubaldo Jimenez in the starting rotation. Huff gave up just an unearned run over five innings against the Red Sox on Tuesday and has a 0.51 ERA and 15/4 K/BB ratio over his first three starts this season. We'll likely see him back with the big club soon.

David Huff allowed one run -- none earned -- on just three hits over five innings in a no-decision Tuesday against the Red Sox.
He struck out six and walked two. Huff was only expected to make a spot start in a double-header against the Twins on July 18, but he's pitched so well over his three starts that he's forced the Indians to keep trotting him out. He has a 0.51 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over those outings. With the Rangers on deck, however, we can't recommend him as a fantasy option.

David Huff lost to the Angels after giving up two runs -- one earned --in 5 2/3 innings on Wednesday.
Huff had to get five outs in the third and the Indians committed a total of three errors while he was in the game, so it was a second straight strong outing for the left-hander. Unfortunately, he gets road starts against the Red Sox and Rangers next week, so this isn't the time to think about picking him up.

Making his 2011 debut, David Huff blanked the Twins for seven innings to earn a win in the first game of Monday's doubleheader.
Huff was only expected to make the spot start and get sent down after the game. That's still likely to happen, but he certainly made a case to receive additional starts in August and September. It was his first big-league victory since May 23, 2010. He lost his final five starts of last season and wasn't heard from again after early August.

Indians recalled LHP David Huff from Triple-A Columbus.
Huff will start the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Twins. He has had a good year at Triple-A, posting a 3.86 ERA over 17 starts, though he's struck out only 63 over 100 1/3 innings. Huff is expected to be sent right back down after the game, as Jeanmar Gomez is likely to hang around to fill Mitch Talbot's spot in the rotation. The southpaw held a less than thrilling 6.21 ERA over 15 starts for the Tribe last season.

David Huff will be recalled from Triple-A Columbus to start the first game of Monday's doubleheader.
He gets the nod over Zach McAllister, who didn't fare too well in a start earlier this month. Huff has had a solid year at Triple-A, posting a 3.86 ERA over 17 starts, though he's struck out only 63 over 100 1/3 innings. Huff is expected to be sent right back down after the start, as Jeanmar Gomez is likely to hang around to fill Mitch Talbot's spot in the rotation.
