Aaron Civale Heading To Injured List
3 years agoCleveland Indians right-hander Aaron Civale (finger) will land on the 10-day injured list after he left Monday's start against the Chicago Cubs with soreness in the middle finger of his right hand. With the move, the Tribe's entire Opening Day rotation of Shane Bieber, Zach Plesac, Civale, Logan Allen and Triston McKenzie are either injured or in the minors. McKenzie, who has been struggling with his location at Triple-A Columbus, and Allen could be candidates to replace Civale in the rotation. Civale is sore and feels like he "jammed it," but he will be looked at by a specialist on Wednesday. The 26-year-old has had an excellent season, going 10-2 with a 3.32 ERA and 1.06 WHIP while striking out 76 and walking 23 in 15 starts over a league-high 97 2/3 innings. Continue to stash him in all fantasy formats. Hopefully, it'll be a short stay on the injured list.
