The Indians have designated Jared Goedert for assignment, reports MLB.com's Jordan Bastian (on Twitter). In corresponding moves, the team optioned Luis Valbuena to Triple-A and called up top prospect Jason Kipnis.
Goedert, 26, hit just .211/.284/.383 in 202 plate appearances with Cleveland's Double and Triple-A affiliates this season. He has never played in the big leagues, and spends most of his defensive time at first, third, and left field.
