Urshela was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.
This move doesn't come as a major surprise after the Indians inked Juan Uribe to take over at third base during the offseason. Still, Urshela has the tools to be the Indians' third baseman of the future, although he may have a hard time cracking the 25-man roster anytime soon unless Uribe or Lonnie Chisenhall gets injured.
