Indians' Joe Thatcher: Doesn't crack Cleveland roster despite solid spring

Thatcher was informed by the Indians that he will not make the Opening Day roster, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Thatcher pitched will this spring with a 1.35 ERA and no walks and eight strikeouts over 6.2 innings but he was facing an uphill battle from the start. He'll report to Triple-A Columbus to start the season if he decides to stick with the Cleveland organization.
