Indians inform OF Austin Jackson has made the club; Bradley Zimmer, others reassigned
The Indians on Sunday morning informed outfielder Austin Jackson that he has made the Opening Day roster. The club also optioned Mike Clevinger and Joe Colon to Triple-A Columbus and informed seven players, including Bradley Zimmer, that they would either not be making the major league club or be reassigned to the minor leagues.
Jackson had an opt-out clause in his contract for Sunday in the event he wasn’t in the Indians’ Opening Day plans. He was signed to a minor-league deal this offseason with a base salary of $1.
