The Indianapolis Indians announced their roster ahead of tonight’s season opener. Teams will now carry 33 players, with 28 players active for the game, along with a five-man taxi squad. This roster is going to change as more players join the team after big league roster cuts were made earlier today, so expect some changes soon. Here’s the list from the Indianapolis site. We will have a season preview for the team tomorrow morning.
