Guardians' manager Terry Francona has 'tough' conversation with demoted relieverThe Guardians knew they were going to recall lefty Tim Herrin. What they didn’t know is who was going to be sent down.

Tim Herrin - Called up by ClevelandHerrin was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
ImpactHerrin has made nine appearances at the big-league level this season, striking out 13 battings in 9.2 innings but struggling to a 7.45 ERA. He owns a 3.63 ERA in 17.1 innings at the Triple-A level. James Karinchak was optioned in a corresponding move.

James Karinchak - Optioned to Triple-AKarinchak was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
ImpactKarinchak's 32 appearances are tied for the league lead, and while he hasn't been as dominant this season, his 3.90 ERA is still a solid mark. He does have a career-high 16.1 percent walk rate, however, and while his 32.2 percent strikeout rate would be high for most pitchers, it's a career low in his case. His demotion may not be performance-related, however, as the Guardians may simply be looking to bring in some fresh arms. Karinchak has options remaining and has pitched on five of the last seven days, so he was unlikely to be an option for the next game or two. Tim Herrin was called up to take his place in the bullpen.
