Byrd was informed Monday that he will break camp with the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Byrd did not join the Indians until mid-March, but he made a quick impression by going 7-for-15 in five games, and will head into the regular season with a spot on the big league roster. Byrd's role is not clearly defined, but he at least figures to start against left-handers, and could see extra at-bats early on with Michael Brantley (shoulder) and Lonnie Chisenhall (forearm) banged up.
