Indians' Edwin Escobar: Claimed by Indians

Escobar was claimed off waivers by the Indians on Friday.

Analysis:

He pitched 23.2 innings out of the Diamondbacks' bullpen last year, ending up with a 7.23 ERA and 1.90 WHIP, so Arizona understandably thought it could sneak him through waivers. It is possible he can carve out a role as a low-leverage option against southpaws for the Indians in 2017.
