Indians recall 1B Bradley, option P Smith

The Cleveland Indians recalled first baseman Bobby Bradley from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

On the season, he is batting .292 with 24 home runs and 55 RBIs in 67 games in the minors. Bradley, 23, leads the International League in home runs and slugging percentage (.638) and is second in RBIs.

Bradley, the Indians’ third-round pick in the 2014 MLB Draft, will be making his major league debut.

In a corresponding move, the Indians optioned left-hander Josh D. Smith to Columbus.

In six relief appearances this season, Smith gave up three runs on seven hits in five innings. He walked five and struck out out nine.
