The Indians are adding another arm to camp, as the team is bringing in James Russell, a lefty reliever who comes to the team with a non-roster invite to camp.
Can confirm Indians will be signing LHP James Russell to a Minor League contract with ST invite, pending physical. Will give CLE 19 NRIs.

Russell is 31 years old, his best season in the Majors was 2012, when with the Cubs he went 7-1 with a 3.25 ERA, throwing 69.1 innings.
