Outfielder Jason Tyner has been recalled from Class AAA Buffalo. He takes the roster spot of reliever Tom Mastny, who was optioned to Buffalo on Saturday night.
The speedy Tyner was batting .234 in 31 games for the Bisons. He has six steals in six attempts.
Tyner was a non-roster invitee to the Tribe's major league camp. He played for the Twins last year.
Mastny had been with Cleveland since April 15. He appeared in two games, giving up two runs in 1 2/3 innings.

Has some major-league experience and can play all 3 outfield positions. Has some pretty good speed and he has been swinging the bat in the last couple weeks a lot better than what his average indicates. Has some pretty good speed so probably will be used as a situational player. I cannot believe this is a long-term callup.
