4 years agoCleveland Indians outfielder Bradley Zimmer has made the club’s wild-card series roster against the Yankees, with right-handed pitcher Adam Plutko not among the group. Zimmer has not appeared since Aug. 20 as the club has attempted to give him at-bats at their alternate training site after he posted a .603 OPS in 50 plate appearances to begin the year with Cleveland. Seeing as how Cleveland is set to face right-handed starters Gerrit Cole and Masahiro Tanaka to begin the series and likely don’t need the extra arm of Plutko in a short series, it may be a brief stint for Zimmer, who figures to be a bat of off the bench for the Tribe.--Jesse Borek
