Ryan Merritt recalled by Indians for spot start on Thursday

Cleveland Indians pitcher Ryan Merritt was recalled from Triple-A Columbus.

What It Means:

Merritt will make a spot start against the Minnesota Twins in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader. The 25-year-old left-hander allowed 3 runs (2 earned) on 7 hits with 2 strikeouts and no walks over just seven innings in his only other start in the majors this season.

numberFire's models project Merritt to score 20.2 FanDuel points at a cost of $6,200 on Thursday, second-least among the 22 starting pitchers in action tonight.
