Guardians' Dusten Knight: Reassigned to minor-league camp
Knight was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Guardians on Sunday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Knight was signed to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training in February, but his bid to make the Opening Day roster comes up short. The former Tampa Bay hurler made six appearances with the Rays last season and posted a 5.73 ERA with a 1.36 WHIP in 11 innings, and he will now likely be a depth option with Triple-A Columbus.

Guardians' Dusten Knight: Receives NRI deal from Cleveland
Knight agreed to a minor-league contract with the Guardians on Wednesday that includes an invitation to MLB spring training, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Knight was designated for assignment by the Rays at the end of the 2022 season, and he elected free agency after he was sent outright to Triple-A Durham. The 32-year-old right-hander made six appearances for Tampa Bay in 2022, and he finished with a 5.73 ERA with a 1.36 WHIP in 11 innings. A strong spring training could see Knight earn one of the final spots in the Cleveland bullpen, but he's likelier to open 2023 in the rotation at Triple-A Columbus.
