Busy Indians add seven players to 40-man roster

CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians have added pitchers Kelvin De La Cruz of Class-A Mahoning Valley and Jeanmar Gomez of Double-A Akron and five other minor leaguers to their 40-man roster.

The other additions announced Friday were infielder-outfielder Jordan Brown and infielders Jason Donald and Wes Hodges of Triple-A Columbus, and infielder Carlos Rivero and outfielder Nick Weglarz of Akron.

De La Cruz went 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA in two starts at Class-A Kinston and missed the rest of the regular season with a strained left elbow. The 21-year-old left-hander later made three starts for the Arizona Rookie League club in Goodyear, Ariz.

Gomez, a 21-year-old righty, went 12-6 with a 3.30 ERA in 26 starts at Kinston and Akron.
