Indians' Joey Butler: Claimed by Indians

Butler was claimed off waivers by the Indians in December, Cleveland.com's Paul Hoynes reports.

Tampa Bay placed Butler on waivers, and the Indians swooped in and grabbed him in an effort to improve what was a very shaky outfield last season. He hit .276 with 12 doubles and eight home runs in 88 games last year, and could find his way into the lineup if Lonnie Chisenhall is struggling at the plate.
