The Indians today claimed righty starter Jordan Humphreys from San Francisco, and to make room on their roster they designated reliever Adam Cimber for assignment.
The writing on the wall for the end for Cimber came over the summer when the team sent the 30-year-old to their minor league camp during the shortened season.
Cimber returned at the end of the year, but clearly had fallen out of favor with the franchise, who when they acquired the sidearm reliever felt that he could eventually round into a setup man in the Tribe pen.
