WINTER HAVEN, Fla. - - Cleveland optioned former first-round pick Brad Snyder to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday as the Indians trimmed their major-league roster to 36.
Right-handers Matt Ginter and Jeff Harris, lefty Rich Rundles, catchers Armando Camacaro and David Wallace and infielders Aaron Herr and Danny Sandoval were reassigned to the minor-league camp.
Snyder, an outfielder taken in the 2003 draft, batted only .194 (7-for-36) with two homers and three RBIs in 14 games this spring, striking out 10 times. The 25-year-old has fanned 595 times in 524 minor-league games.
Harris and Ginter, big-league veterans signed this past offseason to minor-league contracts, each worked 7 1-3 innings in relief. Harris compiled a 2.45 ERA and Ginter had a 3.68 ERA.
Herr, 27, a first-round pick of the Atlanta Braves in 2000 and son of former big-league infielder Tommy Herr, batted .300 (6-for-20) with one homer and four RBIs in 15 games.
