More scrap heap.

The Indians announced Thursday that they’ve signed right-hander Asher Wojciechowski and catcher Tim Federowicz to minor league contracts with invites to Major League Spring Training.

Wojciechowski, 30, will give Cleveland some depth in both the rotation and the bullpen. He’s struggled to a 6.64 ERA with 9.2 K/9 against 3.0 BB/9 in 78 2/3 MLB innings, most of which came with the 2017 Reds

As for Federowicz, the 31-year-old has appeared in parts of seven MLB seasons split between the Dodgers, Giants, Reds, Cubs and Astros. He’s never hit much as a big leaguer, managing just a .199/.247/.323 line in 360 plate appearances.

For the second time in as many offseasons, Jason Kipnis found his future with the Cleveland Indians in question.

But just as he did a year ago, the 2-time All-Star will begin his season in the spot he's most familiar -- and comfortable -- with.

Speaking to reporters in Goodyear, Ariz. on Monday, Indians manager Terry Francona revealed that he has informed Kipnis he'll begin the 2019 campaign as the team's starting second baseman. Kipnis had begun each of the last two seasons serving the same role, before ultimately being moved to the outfield prior to postseason play.
"He's our second baseman," Francona said Monday. "When he's a good player, we're a different team."

Once considered a member of Cleveland's core and still valued for his voice inside the clubhouse, the 31-year-old Kipnis has battled with both injuries and diminished production over the past two years. Limited to just 90 games in 2017, Kipnis hit for what was a career-worst .232 average, to go along with 12 home runs and 35 RBIs.
