Even though he isn’t currently on the 40-man roster, Wilson has a high chance of breaking camp with the Indians at the end of March.\n\n**Tyler Clippard:** The 34-year-old’s durability piqued the Tribe’s interest, prompting them to sign him to a [Minor League deal on Wednesday](https://www.mlb.com/indians/news/tyler-clippard-joins-indians-francona-says). Over his 12-year career, he’s logged a 3.16 ERA and has averaged 10.0 strikeouts per nine innings. After losing multiple relievers after 2018, including Cody Allen and Andrew Miller, Clippard, like Wilson, will have a decent chance of making the 25-man roster.\n\n**The prospects**\n\n**Yu Chang:** With Francisco Lindor questionable for Opening Day (calf strain), there are even more reasons to keep an eye on Chang. The Tribe’s [No. 11 ranked prospect](http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2019?list=cle), according to MLB Pipeline, is a natural shortstop, who is getting more reps at third to give himself more versatility to make it to the Majors. In Triple-A Columbus last year, the 23-year-old hit .256 with 28 doubles, 13 home runs and 62 RBIs in 127 games.","type":"text"},{"__typename":"Markdown","content":"
Bobby Bradley: Bradley’s power will be something for fans to watch throughout the spring, as the Tribe’s No. 6 prospect competes alongside Carlos Santana and Jake Bauers at first. Last year, he hit 27 homers with 83 RBIs in 129 Minor League games.
\n\n
Eric Haase: Although he’s less likely to break camp with the club after the acquisition of Kevin Plawecki, Haase will still be out to compete behind the dish. The team’s No. 29 prospect led the Triple-A International League by throwing out 49 percent of basestealers in 2018, according to MLB Pipeline.
\n\n
The corner-outfield candidates
\n\n
Jordan Luplow: With Martin locked in at center, the Indians will have big decisions to make when it comes to left and right field. Luplow played in 64 big league games in his two seasons with the Pirates, but has had experience in both corners. He hit .185 in his 37 contests in 2018 and will definitely be a contender for Opening Day.
Tyler Naquin: Naquin brings a little more experience than Luplow, but his ’18 season was cut short by hip surgery. Francona said Naquin’s lower half is stronger this year and he could easily be the Indians’ starting right fielder at the beginning of the season.
\n\n
Greg Allen: Allen will likely compete with Luplow for the starting left-field spot. He hit .257 in 91 games for the Indians last season and has spent his few games away from center field in left over the last two seasons. Francona said he informed Allen that he’d play all three outfield positions during the spring.
\n\n
Matt Joyce: Joyce is another non-roster invitee, but could bring a veteran presence to a young outfield. He’s entering his 12th big league season and hit .208 with seven home runs and 15 RBIs in his 83 games for Oakland last season while battling through back problems.

GOODYEAR Ariz. -- The Indians have a lot of questions to answer throughout the next five weeks and manager Terry Francona knows he will have to make some tough decisions prior to Opening Day.
With the Tribe’s Cactus League opener scheduled for Saturday against the Reds, here are 10 players to watch as games get underway.
Returning from illness
Leonys Martin: It’s hard not to root for this comeback story. Martin was traded to the Indians at the non-waiver Trade Deadline last July. He got off to a hot start with his new team, but after just six games, he was in the intensive care unit with a life-threatening bacterial infection. Martin has made a full recovery and has shown no signs of weakness through the first week of camp. He said his return to the field will be emotional for him, especially once the regular season hits.
Alex Wilson: The 32-year-old right-hander said this Spring Training feels different for him because it’s the first time he is competing for a spot, rather than having one, but noted his versatility to pitch in any situation and consistency could benefit the Tribe’s bullpen. Even though he isn’t currently on the 40-man roster, Wilson has a high chance of breaking camp with the Indians at the end of March.
Tyler Clippard: The 34-year-old’s durability piqued the Tribe’s interest, prompting them to sign him to a Minor League deal on Wednesday. Over his 12-year career, he’s logged a 3.16 ERA and has averaged 10.0 strikeouts per nine innings. After losing multiple relievers after 2018, including Cody Allen and Andrew Miller, Clippard, like Wilson, will have a decent chance of making the 25-man roster.
The prospects
Yu Chang: With Francisco Lindor questionable for Opening Day (calf strain), there are even more reasons to keep an eye on Chang. The Tribe’s No. 11 ranked prospect, according to MLB Pipeline, is a natural shortstop, who is getting more reps at third to give himself more versatility to make it to the Majors. In Triple-A Columbus last year, the 23-year-old hit .256 with 28 doubles, 13 home runs and 62 RBIs in 127 games.
Bobby Bradley: Bradley’s power will be something for fans to watch throughout the spring, as the Tribe’s No. 6 prospect competes alongside Carlos Santana and Jake Bauers at first. Last year, he hit 27 homers with 83 RBIs in 129 Minor League games.
Eric Haase: Although he’s less likely to break camp with the club after the acquisition of Kevin Plawecki, Haase will still be out to compete behind the dish. The team’s No. 29 prospect led the Triple-A International League by throwing out 49 percent of basestealers in 2018, according to MLB Pipeline.
The corner-outfield candidates
Jordan Luplow: With Martin locked in at center, the Indians will have big decisions to make when it comes to left and right field. Luplow played in 64 big league games in his two seasons with the Pirates, but has had experience in both corners. He hit .185 in his 37 contests in 2018 and will definitely be a contender for Opening Day.
Tyler Naquin: Naquin brings a little more experience than Luplow, but his ’18 season was cut short by hip surgery. Francona said Naquin’s lower half is stronger this year and he could easily be the Indians’ starting right fielder at the beginning of the season.
Greg Allen: Allen will likely compete with Luplow for the starting left-field spot. He hit .257 in 91 games for the Indians last season and has spent his few games away from center field in left over the last two seasons. Francona said he informed Allen that he’d play all three outfield positions during the spring.
Matt Joyce: Joyce is another non-roster invitee, but could bring a veteran presence to a young outfield. He’s entering his 12th big league season and hit .208 with seven home runs and 15 RBIs in his 83 games for Oakland last season while battling through back problems.
