Graves situation: Shapiro is hoping designated reliever Danny Graves clears waivers and reports to Triple-A Buffalo.
The Indians have until May 22 to trade, release or expose Graves to waivers. Shapiro said it would be difficult to forecast whether Graves, who went 2-1 with a 5.79 ERA in 13 appearances, would pass through waivers unclaimed.
"I want him to go to Triple-A," Shapiro said. "Because I think there's still enough there to believe that if he can get regular work, maybe he can get better."
Shapiro decided to cut Graves loose because of the inconsistency the veteran displayed.
"The quality of his stuff wasn't good enough to consistently get big leaguers out, particularly in meaningful situations," Shapiro said.
