At first, Brandon Guyer was the surefire fourth outfielder on the Indians behind starters Michael Brantley, Bradley Zimmer, and Lonnie Chisenhall. Then Melvin Upton, Jr. signed with the team. Then Rajai Davis decided to return to the club. Young players like Tyler Naquin and Greg Allen could also find themselves battling for spots. Now, Guyer could find himself off the Opening Day roster.
Brantley may not be ready for the start of the season. Chisenhall has dealt with injuries in the past.
