The 26-year-old Salazar is 11-6 with a 3.88 ERA in 23 starts over 127 2/3 innings this season.

Salazar was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a sore elbow on Aug. 2.

The Indians also recalled right-hander Shawn Armstrong from Triple-A Columbus.

Armstrong, 25, has spent most of the 2016 season in Columbus, going 3-1 with nine saves in 10 chances with a 1.84 ERA in 47 relief outings over 49 innings. The Triple-A All-Star has been with Cleveland three times previously in 2016, appearing in two games with a 3.00 ERA over three innings.
