CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Opening Day is hours away and the Indians still don't know which 25 players will comprise the active roster.
On Sunday, the club officially added veterans Marlon Byrd and Ross Detwiler to the fold and sent outfielders Michael Brantley and Lonnie Chisenhall to the disabled list. To create space for the two newcomers on the 40-man roster, the club designated infielder Zach Walters and left-hander Giovanni Soto for assignment.
Here's where it gets a bit complicated.
The Indians made the aforementioned transactions to meet a league roster deadline on Sunday. They will place right-handed reliever Tommy Hunter on the 15-day DL on Monday.
