Scott Carroll comes into this one with a 3 - 5 record and an ERA of 4.52 after winning his last start.

Zach McAllister pitched just 2 innings the last time he was with the big league club this season a little over a month ago.

In 2013, McAllister posted a 9 - 9 record with an ERA of 3.75 in 24 starts for the Indians.
