Indians' Richie Shaffer: Reassigned to minor-league camp

Shaffer was reassigned to the Indians' minor-league camp Sunday.

Analysis:

Shaffer was hoping to win a reserve role in the corner infield, but the contact issues he displayed during Cactus League play (22 strikeouts in 57 at-bats) undermined any chance he had at breaking camp with the team. Expect him to open 2017 with Triple-A Columbus.
