CLEVELAND — Reliever Andrew Miller was placed on the 10-day disabled list Thursday by the Cleveland Indians because of a strained left hamstring.

Miller grabbed the back of his leg after throwing a pitch to Anthony Rizzo of the Chicago Cubs in the seventh inning Wednesday night, was removed from the game and had an MRI.

Miller was on the disabled list with a left hamstring strain while with Boston from March 26 to May 5, 2012, and missed four games with a left hamstring strain while with Baltimore in September 2014.

A two-time All-Star, Miller, a 32-year-old left-hander, was on the DL twice last season with patella tendinitis in his right knee. He has struck out 17 and walked four over 10 scoreless innings in 11 games this year.

Cleveland selected the contract of left-hander Jeff Beliveau from Triple-A and designated left-hander Jack Leathersich for assignment.

REDS: Third baseman Eugenio Suarez was activated from the 10-day disabled list and went 0 for 4 with a pair of strikeouts in a loss to Atlanta.

Suarez broke his right thumb April 8 when he was hit by a pitch from Jameson Taillon of Pittsburgh.

Cincinnati promoted infielder-outfielder Rosell Herrera from Triple-A Louisville and optioned outfielder Phillip Ervin and infielder Cliff Pennington to the International League farm team.

PIRATES: Third baseman Jung Ho Kang is back in the United States and on his way to rejoining the team.

Kang, 31, last played for the Pirates in 2016. He was arrested in South Korea on DUI charges for a third time in December 2016 and received an eight-month suspended prison sentence that led to visa issues.

ATHLETICS: Oakland optioned opening day starter Kendall Graveman and fellow right-hander Chris Bassitt to Triple-A Nashville.

Also, right-hander Wilmer Font will be added to the 25-man roster a day after being acquired in a trade from the Los Angeles Dodgers.
