CLEVELAND -- Outfielder Melvin Upton Jr. and right-hander Alexi Ogando completed their respective physicals with the Indians, putting the finishing touch on their new Minor League contracts. Both players have been extended non-roster invitations to attend Spring Training with the big league club.
In Upton and Ogando, Cleveland has a pair of veterans who will have a chance to compete for a spot on an Opening Day roster with a few vacancies. Their additions bring Cleveland's non-roster invitees list to nine for Spring Training. Pitcher Leonel Campos, who signed a Minor League contract with a spring invite earlier this offseason, was released from his deal on Wednesday to pursue an opportunity with the Hiroshima Carp in Japan.
