The Indians have announced that right-hander Josh Judy has been designated for assignment. The move creates a 40-man roster spot for the newly-acquired Aaron Cunningham.
Judy, 25, was a 34th-round draft pick for the Tribe in 2007. He made his Major League debut last season, posting a 7.07 ERA in 14 innings out of the Cleveland bullpen. Judy has some impressive numbers (a career 2.81 ERA, 10.4 K/9 rate, 2.4 K/BB ratio) over five seasons in the minors, so it wouldn't be surprising if another team put in a claim on the righty.
