Do Not Sell My Personal Information
According to Tony Lastoria of indiansprospectinsider.com, Levon hurt his surgically repaired hip and is out. He said it doesn't require surgery, but he did not have word on how long he is out. Probably more info on the site if someone wants to go check it out. Lastoria's site is an awesome source for Tribe minor league info, and his subscriber price is pretty reasonable for the extra info.

Hasn't walked anyone yet, either.

Seems ready to move to Triple A. Would cut either Wheeler or Asencio (would prefer to cut Wheeler, just based off Acensio's strikeout numbers thus far), keep Hagadone up and have Stowell take his place in Triple A.

Weren't there reports of Stowell hitting triple digits on the gun last year?
 
When I saw him he was sitting 94-95.

He went on the DL shortly thereafter though.

He's a guy who's better served sitting at 94-96 with control than 100 with no regard for where its going.
 
The season after they signed him he was hitting 100mph, but as b00bie noted, he was erratic. I am going to assume has dialed it down in exchange for better control, but I haven't got to see him pitch this year yet and haven't read any reports on him so it is just an assumption.
