Tyner gets the call

ROCHESTER -- Well, the Cleveland Indians sure surprised me. Outfielder Jason Tyner is the one getting the call to the big leagues as reliever Tom Mastny comes back to Buffalo. I didn't think the Tribe would be looking for another outfielder but Tyner does add some speed (6 for 6 on steals) and he's hot (batting .353 during a 10-game hitting streak). Tyner opened with an awful start, batting .167 over the Herd's first 18 games, but didn't quit and got rewarded.

I'm thinking more at-bats now in the outfield for Ryan Mulhern. And the Bisons have a big decision to make when Jordan Brown comes off the DL. You can't possibly send red-hot Michael Aubrey back to Akron. Do you send Brown back even though he was a league MVP there last year and probably doesn't have much to prove? We'll see.
