Tribe brings up Jackson to start finale with Rays

The Cleveland Indians today re-called left-hander Zach Jackson from Triple-A Columbus.

Jackson, who will start for the Tribe tonight in place of the injured Anthony Reyes, went 3-2 with a 3.09 ERA in seven appearances, including four starts, for the Clippers. He also pitched twice in relief with the Indians last month and allowed three runs over a 4 2/3-inning span.

The 26-year-old, acquired from Milwaukee as part of the CC Sabathia deal last year, made nine starts for Cleveland last season and compiled a 2-3 record with a 5.60 ERA.

To make room for him on the roster, Cleveland optioned righty Rich Rundles to Columbus.
