| Indians | Joey Butler designated to make room for Andrew Miller | |
| Cleveland Indians OF Joey Butler was officially designated for assignment on Sunday, July 31. Source: MLB.com | |
| BHQ take: Butler was DFA so LH reliever Andrew Miller could be added to the 40-man roster after being acquired in trade from NYY. Miller will reportedly assume the closer role with CLE, pushing incumbent closer Cody Allen to a setup role. Miller is among the game's most-skilled relievers, with 269 BPV. Allen has been solid after a slow start, though his 3.21 xERA is nearly twice as high as Miller's 1.67 xERA. —Tom Kephart | |
