Indians Reliever Joe Smith Was Forced To Retreat Because No One Summoned Him From The Bullpen
Manny Acta wanted to calm Justin Masterson down, so he waltzed out to pay him a visit during yesterday's Tigers-Indians game. Joe Smith took that as his cue, even though no one had signaled for him. Umpire Gary Darling noticed and let Acta know.

Nothing at all.
