Herrin, who began a rehab assignment with the Clippers, started the second game of a doubleheader and fanned all three batters faced. Relievers typically don't require a long assignment, so Herrin could be back in Cleveland at some point this week.

Herrin was lifted from his most recent relief appearance in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Twins after being hit in the left elbow by a comebacker. X-rays came back negative, but Herrin's injury was deemed serious enough to keep him on the shelf through June 23. Herrin has appeared in 41 games out of the bullpen this season, logging a 3.06 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 27:19 K:BB across 32.1 innings.
