Cleveland Indians claim LHP Alex Young from Arizona; Aaron Civale to 60-day ILLeft-hander Alex Young was Arizona's second round pick in 2015.
Alex Young - Claimed by ClevelandYoung was claimed off waivers by Cleveland on Monday and optioned to Triple-A Columbus, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
ImpactYoung was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks last week. Expectations for a player who couldn't stick around on the team with the worst record in the league should be low, especially given that Young owns a 6.26 ERA in 41.2 innings this season. Aaron Civale (finger) was transferred to the 60-day injured list to clear a spot for Young on the 40-man roster.

Luis Patiño - Another start awaitsPatino is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Yankees.
ImpactAfter getting called up from Triple-A Durham last week to make a start in Cleveland, Patino initially wasn't certain to stick in the rotation beyond that outing. Even though he delivered so-so results in a no-decision (four runs allowed on five hits and three walks over 5.1 innings), Patino will maintain his spot in the rotation after the Rays shipped starter Rich Hill off to the Mets. The Rays will eventually get Chris Archer (forearm) and Tyler Glasnow (elbow) back from the injured list, so Patino will still need to churn out respectable starts in order to stay in the rotation for the rest of the season.
