After the demotion of prospect Trevor Bauer to Triple-A Columbus Thursday, the competition for the fifth spot in the Indians' rotation is down to Scott Kazmir and Carlos Carrasco, according to MLB.com.
Kazmir, who hasn't pitched in the majors since 2011, has tossed eight scoreless innings this spring, striking out eight and walking one. Carrasco, who missed last season recovering from Tommy John surgery, is 1-1 with a 5.54 ERA in four spring outings (three starts).
