Cleveland Guardians put DH Franmil Reyes on IL with tight hamstring

DETROIT -- The Cleveland Guardians put slugger Franmil Reyes on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a tight right hamstring and selected the contract of Oscar Gonzalez from Triple-A Columbus.

Gonzalez hit a single up the middle off Detroit lefty Tarik Skubal in the first at-bat of his major league debut Thursday night. Gonzalez also doubled Thursday night and finished 2 for 4 in the Guardians' 4-3 loss.

Reyes hit .255 with three homers and 12 RBIs in 35 games, struggling to help the offensively challenged team much at the plate as a designated hitter and outfielder. He was in a 4 for 36 (.111) slump since May 9 with two RBIs.

Cleveland also recalled left-hander Konnor Pilkington and outfielder Richie Palacios from Triple-A Columbus before opening a four-game series at the Tigers.

On Wednesday, the Guardians traded outfielder Daniel Johnson to the New York Mets in exchange for cash considerations. They also activated right-hander Ian Gibaut off the IL and released lefty Jake Miednik.
