The Indians have designated outfielder Tyler Holt for assignment, according to a club announcement. His 40-man spot was needed for catcher Adam Moore, whose contract was purchased from Triple-A.
Holt, 26, has struggled in fairly minimal major league time over the past two years. In 703 plate appearances at the Triple-A level, though, he has put up an interesting .304/.398/.382 slash line. As that would suggest, Holt doesn’t have much pop — he has just six career MiLB home runs. But he does offer some speed, and has swiped 45 bags in the highest level of the minors.
