Worth noting

• Casey Sadler gave up his roster spot for Monday night starter Jeff Locke, returning to Triple-A Indianapolis on an option after making his Major League debut with two impressive outings of two shutout innings each. Sadler will merge back into the Indians' starting rotation.

• Jason Grilli (left oblique) played light catch for the third time on Monday and plans to do it once more -- then try it off a mound in the middle of the week.

• Martin (strained left hamstring) remains housed in the trainer's room but plans are for him to resume baseball activities on Friday. The total works: Throw, catch (squat), hit, run.

• The Bucs' 8-6 victory on Saturday night over Toronto was their second win in six years while committing four fielding errors. The Pirates defeated Arizona by a similar score (7-6) on Aug. 8, 2012, despite four miscues. They did not have a four-error game last season.
