CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Right-handed reliever Ben Taylor was recalled Saturday from Class AAA Columbus and will join the Cleveland Indians for their game against the Houston Astros at Progressive Field. In a corresponding move, righty Oliver Drake was designated for assignment.

The team also announced that right-hander Alexi Ogando, who was designated for assignment on May 20, was outrighted to Columbus and has accepted the assignment.

Taylor made three appearances with the Indians from May 2-5, compiling a 2.70 earned run average in 3 1/3 innings. Taylor struck out three and walked one, allowing one earned run and two hits.

Drake made four appearances with Cleveland after the Indians acquired him from Milwaukee on May 5 for cash considerations. Drake compiled a 12.46 ERA, logging 4 1/3 innings and surrendering six earned runs on seven hits. He struck out four and walked one.

The Indians have seven days to waive, trade or release Drake following the designation.

Ogando appeared in one game for the Indians after joining the club May 4. He allowed two earned runs against the New York Yankees and walked three with one strikeout in an inning of work.

In six starts for Columbus, Ogando compiled a 2-0 record with a 3.55 ERA in 25 1/3 innings. He struck out 16 batters and walked eight, allowing 29 hits, including two home runs.

Ogando was optioned back to Columbus on May 8 and was designated 12 days later in order to make room, ironically, for Marshall on the Clippers roster.
