Dodgers' Zach Walters: Designated for assignment
Zach Walters was designated for assignment on Sunday.Over his last 10 games at Triple-A Oklahoma City, Walters has gone just 6-for-32, bringing his batting average down to .276 for the season. Though he offers some positional versatility, Walters has struggled in his limited big-league opportunities, accruing a .176/.227/.382 line over 85 games. If he clears waivers, Walters will likely stick with the Los Angeles Dodgers organization and report back to Triple-A.

Dodgers' Zach Walters: Optioned to Oklahoma City
Zach Walters was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Bill Plunkett of the Orange Country Register reports.Walters appeared in three games for the Los Angeles Dodgers (one start) since his recent call-up, but failed to reach base in each of those opportunities. Thursday's lineup proved to be a bit of an ominous sign, as Yasiel Puig will get the day off, but it will be Andrew Toles, not Walters, who gets the start in right field. Rather than carry an extraneous outfielder, the team will call up lefty pitcher Grant Dayton.

Dodgers' Zach Walters: Traded to Dodgers
Zach Walters was acquired by the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday in exchange for cash considerations.Walters, who will begin his tenure with the club in Triple-A Oklahoma City, will provide organizational depth at the infield positions. The Dodgers' infield is occupied by reliable veterans at the moment, and will become even more crowded once Howie Kendrick (calf) returns from the DL, so Walters doesn't necessarily have a clear path to the majors at this time.

Indians' Zach Walters: Designated for assignment
The Cleveland Indians designated Zach Walters for assignment on Sunday, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.Walters' removal from the 40-man roster opens up a spot for Marlon Byrd, who is expected to share right field duties with Collin Cowgill or Rajai Davis until Lonnie Chisenhall (forearm) returns from the DL. While Walters once held some promise a power-hitting utility man, his extreme issues with making contact made it too difficulty for the Indians to justify keeping him on the roster.

Indians' Zach Walters: Now 0-for-10 this spring
Zach Walters (shoulder) went 0-for-1 on Sunday and is now 0-for-10 with five strikeouts this spring.The 26-year-old underwent surgery in the offseason to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder. While he has not faced any restrictions this spring, it seems Walters is struggling a bit to regain his form in the early going. The Cleveland Indians' outfield is wide open with Michael Brantley injured and Abraham Almonte suspended, but Walters is believed to be a long shot to break camp with the big club.

Indians' Zach Walters: Will work in outfield
Zach Walters (shoulder) will work exclusively in the outfield in spring training, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.Walters has been all over the field in his brief big league career, receiving a start in five different positions and as a DH, but it sounds as though manager Terry Francona would like the 26-year-old to have a bit more of a defined role. The switch-hitter had offseason surgery to repair a torn labrum, and though Francona indicated Walters would have no restrictions in the spring, it's unclear if he'll be ready for the start of the season.
