| Scott Elarton auditioned for the Padres but they did not offer him a deal, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. |
Our View: Elarton will turn 33 later this month and holds a career 5.29 ERA, meaning he isn't likely to make a solid fantasy impact this season, assuming he can find a job.

| The Cleveland Indians transferred Scott Elarton to the 15-day disabled list with a non-baseball medical condition. |
Our View: The right-hander was originally placed on the restricted list June 30 after informing the team he needed to leave for personal reasons.

|
| Scott Elarton will be leaving the Indians to deal with a personal matter, according to MILB.com. "There's not much I can say," manager Eric Wedge said. "He has some personal things he has to take care of. There's nothing I can say outside of that." |
Our View: Elarton has struggled with his control this season (5.28 BB/9) leading to a terrible WHIP (1.63), but as the mop up reliever in the Indians pen he wouldn't of had much value if he had thrown strikes. Tom Mastny was called up to take his roster spot.

|
| The Cleveland Indians have purchased the contract of RHP Scott Elarton , a move made in response to the injury recently suffered by Fausto Carmona, according to the MLB.com. |
Our View: Elarton was once a starter for the Indians but, at 33-years of age, is now working as a reliever. Elarton has recently told reporters he was heavily considering retirement, but now he has another shot at the majors and could be an integral part of a bullpen in desperate need of help.

| The Indians reassigned Scott Elarton to Triple-A Buffalo prior to their Tuesday exhibition game, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "They had no expectations when I came in here," said Elarton. "They told me to have no expectations. But they liked the way I pitched. I can still pitch at this level -- no doubt about it." Elarton allowed just three runs in 13 1/3 spring innings, while striking out five and walking another five. |

|
| Scott Elarton is fighting hard for a roster spot with the Indians, according to IndiansConfidential.com. He has pitched well as he has only allowed one run over six innings, but the Indians have a strong and deep pitching staff and he will be lucky to make it as a bottom of the line reliever. He commented, "Instead of just getting ready for the season, I'm trying to make the team." |

In nine starts with the Royals last year, Elarton was 2-4 with a 10.46 ERA and 2.00 WHIP. We didn't mistype there, he was really that bad. |

It’s not like a broken ankle, but it just won’t let me do what I need to do.” Elarton is 2-3 with a 9.17 ERA. |

It was the first time he faced hitters since August. "It went very well," Elarton said. "Physically, it felt really good. I was actually surprised how I had command of the ball. The main thing right now is I had no soreness [the day after]. It is how I recover." He'll throw another session on Friday. |

| Scott Elarton underwent surgery to repair the labrum in his right shoulder Tuesday, according to the AP. He'll miss the rest of the season. "I think we've got to look at mid-June next year," GM Dayton Moore said of Elarton returning to the major leagues. "Sometimes those timetables fluctuate based on how a guy does in the first month of rehab. That is probably pushing it a little bit, being optimistic."

|
| Manager Buddy Bell said that Scott Elarton was going to have something done to his shoulder and it was likely season ending, according to the AP. Elarton went on the DL with a strained shoulder on Tuesday and had an MRI on Thursday, which will be read by physician Steve Joyce prior to making a decision regarding surgery. However, at this point in time, surgery appears to be necessary. |
