The club also optioned Albie Lopez, Brian Anderson, Joe Roa, Paul Shuey, Herbert Perry, and Brian Giles to Buffalo while designating Nigel Wilson for assignment. Manny Ramirez faced traffic tickets in Cleveland after an earlier on‑camp incident. The opener had not been postponed since 1990, with Dennis Martinez and David Cone slated to start the series pitching.
