Zach McAllister and Danny Salazar are candidates to start for the Indians on Saturday as a replacement for the shelved Justin Masterson.
Both have performed well recently at Triple-A Columbus after opening the year in the Cleveland rotation. McAllister is 5-0 with a 2.23 ERA after working out mechanical issues. But scouting director John Mirabelli reported after watching Salazar's last start that it looked like the promising 2013 version, the Cleveland Plain Dealer has reported.
