The Cleveland Guardians announced on Friday that both first baseman Josh Naylor and infielder Tyler Freeman were placed on the 10-day IL.
Cleveland also announced the acquisition of outfielder Kole Calhoun from the Los Angeles Dodgers for cash, while infielder José Tena had been recalled from Triple-A Columbus.
Freeman and Naylor were placed on the injured list retroactively for each of their injuries. Naylor was listed with a right oblique strain on Aug. 1, while Freeman sustained a right shoulder strain (retroactive to Aug. 2).
Naylor underwent an MRI on Thursday that revealed the oblique strain, according to Guardians manager Terry Francona. Francona also stated that Naylor was given a 3-6 week timetable that was "extremely tentative," and that Naylor will be re-checked on a weekly basis.
Calhoun, an 11-year MLB veteran, has split the season at the Triple-A level with the New York Yankees (Apr. 20 to Jun. 3) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (Jun. 4 to Aug. 3), after being granted his release by the Seattle Mariners at the end of Spring Training. Between AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (NYY) and AAA Oklahoma City (LA), Calhoun has batted .297 with 17 doubles, five triples, nine home runs, & 46 runs batted in over 58 games. The 35-year-old will join the Guardians ahead of Friday's game against the visiting Chicago White Sox.
Tena, 22, is making his pro debut after signing with Cleveland in July 2017 as an international amateur free agent out of the Dominican Republic. He was promoted to Triple-A Columbus on Aug. 2 after spending most of this season with Double-A Akron. Tena had appeared in 81 games (74 at shortstop) between the two levels, batting .260 with 20 doubles, four home runs, 37 RBIs, and 16 stolen bases.
