Two East Texans are now on the Cleveland Indians active roster after former Whitehouse star Josh Tomlin was informed he'll start on Tuesday night against the New York Yankees.

Tomlin is 8-4, with a 2.68 in 17-starts for the Triple-A Columbus Clippers.

Jess Todd from Kilgore has been on the Indians roster for the past few weeks and has appeared in three games this season, after pitching in 20-games for the Indians in 2009.

Daingerfield's Shayvion Hatten has changed his verbal commitment from T.C.U. to Texas A&M after visiting College Station over the weekend.

Hatten, 6-5, 265, 5.0, was recruited as an offensive tackle at T.C.U., but the Aggies want him as a defensive end in their 3-4 alignment.

Hatten is the second Daingerfield offensive lineman to commit to play defensive line in the Big 12, joining teammate Donald Bryant who committed to Baylor last month.
