Klimchock batted .161 with nine hits over 56 at-bats for the Indians while filling in at first and second base, with some pinch-hitting duties thrown in.
The previous year he saw the most action in any one Big League season, appearing in 90 games for Cleveland while collecting 258 at-bats.
He hit a very respectable .287 with 74 hits, setting career-highs across the board with 26 runs, six homers and 26 runs batted in.
