The Indians have acquired 28-year old righty reliever Jose Veras from the Yankees in return for cash considerations. Veras has already pitched in 2 games (0 starts) for the Indians and he hasn’t allowed a run in 1 1/3 innings while whiffing 2 batters. Veras pitched in 25 games (0 starts) for the Yankees this season and he was 3-1 with a 5.96 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP. Veras has now pitched in 108 games (0 starts) in his major league career in which he is 8-4 with 3 saves, a 4.37 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. The Indians need help in the bullpen in the worst way so acquiring Veras was worth the risk.
