Indians' Carlos Frias: On cusp of making 25-man roster

Frias could make the club as an eighth reliever if starter Carlos Carrasco opens the season on the disabled list, Ross D. Franklin of the Associated Press reports.

Analysis:

The Jays acquired the right-hander from the Dodgers in an offseason trade, but it's a bit surprising that Frias has made it to the finish line of big-league camp. After two unnoticeable seasons (2014-15) on the west coast, the 27-year-old was hurt in the latter half of 2016 before the Dodgers dumped him. Cleveland may choose to enter Opening Day with an overloaded bullpen, as the team won't need a fifth starter until mid-April. Even if that's the case and Frias makes the team, he won't have fantasy appeal unless he can work his way into a bigger role.
