NEW YORK -- The Cleveland Indians have optioned Jeanmar Gomez to Triple-A Columbus, opening a spot in their starting rotation that will go to Zach McAllister.

McAllister is expected to be called up from Columbus to start Thursday night in Baltimore, and manager Manny Acta confirmed that the right-hander will get several chances to hold down a job in the rotation.

Gomez had been with the Indians all season. The right-hander is 4-7 with a 5.18 ERA in 14 games, including 13 starts.
