Cleveland Indians outfield prospect Oscar Mercado is expected to be promoted to the big leagues by Tuesday.
Mercado is on his way to meet the club in Chicago as he is expected to replace Tyler Naquin on the active roster. Naquin is likely to land in the IL with a calf injury.
Mercado is slashing .294/.396/.496 with 4 homers and 14 steals for Triple-A Columbus this season.
