Richard Lambert Rundles (born June 3, 1981 in Chattanooga, Tennessee) is a Major League Baseball relief pitcher for the Cleveland Indians.

From by|1999 to by|2007, Rundles played in Minor League Baseball with six different organizations.

Through 836 minor-league innings, Rundles has a 3.39 ERA, accomplished with an 87-91 mph fastball, very good changeup and average curve. He has always had good control, since being a third-round pick out of high school back in 1999. As a starter in Class A ball a year later, he walked only 13 while fanning 114 in 132 innings.

Various injuries stalled his development -- until signing with the Indians as a minor-league free agent in January 2007.The Tribe moved him to the bullpen to help the lefty avoid his durability issues.

Sent to Double-A Akron in '07, Rundles went 3-0 with a 1.83 ERA and two saves in 23 games, 21 of which were out of the bullpen. That earned him his first call to Triple-A, where he was 2-4 with a 2.70 ERA in 17 relief outings at Buffalo.

Rundles then went to the 2007 Arizona Fall League to continue his transition to relief. In limited work, he allowed one run in 8 2/3 innings (1.04 ERA) over eight outings.

On July 2, by|2008, Rundles was named to the 2008 Triple-A All-Star Game as the Buffalo Bisons lone representative.
