Toronto, ON -- (Sports Network) - The Cleveland Indians recalled pitcher Anthony Reyes on Friday in time to start the opener of a three-game set against the Toronto Blue Jays, and also purchased the contract of veteran reliever Brendan Donnelly.

Both were playing with Triple-A Buffalo.

Reyes was acquired by the Indians from St. Louis in a July 26 trade that sent pitcher Luis Perdomo to the Cardinals. He was 2-0 with a 2.77 ERA in two starts with Buffalo since joining the organization.

In 10 relief outings with the Cardinals earlier this season, Reyes was 2-1 with a save and a 4.91 ERA. The right-hander owns a career big league record of 10-24 with a 5.38 ERA in 53 games, including 38 starts. He started and won Game 1 of the 2006 World Series for the Cardinals against Detroit.

Donnelly will pitch in the majors for the first time this season after recovering from Tommy John surgery performed last August while he was with the Boston Red Sox.

The 36-year-old right-hander was signed by the Indians in February and has been rehabbing at extended spring training, Single-A Kinston and Buffalo. He was 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA in six outings at Buffalo.

Donnelly has a career record of 25-9 with four saves and a 2.88 ERA in 303 relief appearances with the Angels and Red Sox. He was a member of the Angels' World Series championship team in 2002 and last year with Boston was 2-1 with a 3.05 ERA in 27 appearances before the elbow injury ended his season.

The Tribe had the openings on their pitching staff after optioning pitcher Tom Mastny to Buffalo and placing pitcher Matt Ginter on the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday. Ginter has a right forearm strain.

To make room on the 40-man roster for Donnelly, the Indians transferred infielder Josh Barfield from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list on Friday. Barfield had surgery to repair a tendon in the middle finger of his left hand in June.
