Mejia is expected to earn a promotion to the big-league club prior to Friday's doubleheader against the Tigers, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.

Mejia has spent this entire season with Double-A Akron, batting .297/.346/.490 with 14 home runs and 52 RBI. The catcher is the top prospect in Cleveland's organization and recorded a 50-game hitting streak in 2016. Moving forward, Mejia will get his first taste of the majors over the next month and will likely see some action as the Indians continue to pull away from the pack in the AL Central. Once the regular season ends, Mejia is set to get some opportunities at the hot corner in the Arizona Fall League.
