Brown surgery successful; 32 players signed

Two minor news items this morning…

• OF Jordan Brown had arthroscopic surgery performed on his right knee Monday in Cleveland by Dr. Rick Parker. Because the correct knee was operated on and Brown woke up, it was deemed a successful procedure. Brown will report back to the Goodyear complex next Monday to begin a rehab program. As previously reported, he’s expected to miss four to eight weeks of action before joining the Triple-A Columbus club.
• The Indians reached contractual terms with the 32 non-arbitration-eligible members of their 40-man roster. They are: Hector Ambriz, Brian Bixler, Michael Brantley, Brown, Asdrubal Cabrera, Carlos Carrasco, Shin-Soo Choo, Trevor Crowe, Kelvin De La Cruz, Jason Donald, Wes Hodges, David Huff, Matt LaPorta, Aaron Laffey, Jensen Lewis, Lou Marson, Andy Marte, Justin Masterson, Chris Perez, Rafael Perez, Anthony Reyes, Carlos Rivero, Hector Rondon, Carlos Santana, Tony Sipp, Joe Smith, Jeremy Sowers, Mitch Talbot, Jess Todd, Wyatt Toregas, Luis Valbuena and Nick Weglarz.
