Fantasy Impact:

In order to clear a spot on the active roster, Cleveland will option outfielder Tyler Holt to Triple-A Columbus. In 24 Minor League at-bats during his rehab assignment, Swisher went 9-for-24 (.375) with one home run, two doubles, three walks and five RBI. Prior to 2014, Swisher had at least 20 home runs in nine consecutive seasons and appeared in at least 145 games in eight straight years. He will steal at-bats from David Murphy and Ryan Raburn. He can be ignored for fantasy purposes until he proves otherwise.
