The Indians on Monday announced that outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall will open the 2016 season on the disabled list, outfielders Marlon Byrd and Collin Cowgill will be on the Opening Day roster and relief pitcher Dan Otero has made the club and will act as the seventh member in the bullpen.
Chisenhall is being placed on the disabled list with a left wrist impingement. According to Indians manager Terry Francona, the injury might have come about while Chisenhall dealt with a right forearm issue and tried to overcompensate with his left arm in order to get ready for the season.
