Josh Tomlin Will Have His Next Start Skipped
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Josh Tomlin will have his next turn in the rotation skipped.

Corey Kluber Will Start Tuesday's Series Opener

Kluber will go on Tuesday, with Carlos Carrasco going on Wednesday, and Trevor Bauer opening a series […]

Michael Brantley Out of the Lineup on Friday
Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Brantley was always expected to get more days off than a usual outfielder thanks to his injury history and the fact that he's returning from a major ankle procedure. Rajai Davis is in left, Bradley Zimmer is […]
Bradley Zimmer Gets Three Hits on Thursday
Cleveland Indians outfielder Bradley Zimmer recorded three hits on Thursday, finishing 3-for-4 with a run scored. All three of Zimmer's hits were singles, raising his batting average to .250. Everyone on the Cleveland roster has had a slow start offensively, but Thursday's 15-hit outburst may have been the start of something good.
Jason Kipnis Records Three Hits on Thursday
Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis had a great game on Thursday, finishing 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored. Kipnis had a double and two singles on the evening, lifting his batting average to .160. It's been a slow start to the season for the entire Cleveland offense, but especially for Kipnis. Perhaps […]
Francisco Lindor Scores Three Times and Drives in Three Runs on Thursday
Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor had a strong game on Thursday, finishing 2-for-4 with three runs scored and three RBI. Lindor cranked a home run to start the game and a two-run double later on. It's been a slow start to the season for Lindor, but Thursday's game could be the start of a hot […]
Trevor Bauer Pitches Well and Picks Up a Win on Thursday
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Trevor Bauer pitched well on Thursday, tossing seven innings and allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks. He struck out seven on his way to a win and a quality start. Bauer needed 105 pitches to get through his seven innings, otherwise he may have been given the chance […]

Michael Brantley Fills the Stat Sheet in Wednesday's Game
Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley filled up the stat sheet on Wednesday, finishing the game 2-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI, and a stolen base. The only thing Brantley didn't help out in for standard 5x5 leagues was home runs, but his owners will be pleased with four out of five. Brantley is an […]
Francisco Lindor Picks Up Two Hits on Wedenesday
Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor collected two hits on Wednesday, finishing the game 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI. Lindor is off to a very slow start, as the two hits only brought his batting average up to .184. He's struggling along with the entire Cleveland offense, but once they put it together, Lindor […]
Carlos Carrasco Spins a Complete Game on Wednesday
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco tossed a complete game on Wednesday, allowing just one run on three hits and two walks while striking out six. Cookie needed 110 pitches to make it through all nine innings, throwing 76 of them for strikes. He was masterful, lowering his ERA to 3.48 and picking up his […]

Jose Ramirez Goes Yard on Tuesday Against the Tigers
Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez hit a home run on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers, finishing the game 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored. Ramirez has been in a slump to kick off 2018, as even with Tuesday's nice effort he's still hitting just .132 with a .572 OPS. Perhaps Tuesday's 2-for-3 will […]
Andrew Miller Records His First Win of the Season on Tuesday
Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Andrew Miller recorded his first win of the season on Tuesday, pitching a perfect eighth inning with one strikeout. Miller came into a tie game and the Cleveland offense was able to score the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth. Miller was called upon for a save on Monday, […]
Cody Allen Notches His Third Save of the Season on Tuesday
Cleveland Indians closer Cody Allen collected his third save of the season on Tuesday, pitching a perfect ninth inning. Allen struck out one and needed just 13 pitches to set down the Detroit Tigers in the ninth inning. He's still sporting a 0.00 ERA and should once again be one of the better closers to […]
Josh Tomlin Comes Back Strong on Tuesday
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Josh Tomlin turned in a strong start on Tuesday, tossing five scoreless innings while allowing just four hits and two walks. He struck out three but had to settle for a no-decision. Tomlin was scheduled to start on Monday but had his turn moved back a day because he was dealing […]

Andrew Miller Picks Up a Save on Monday
Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Andrew Miller picked up his first save of the season on Monday, tossing a perfect ninth inning with one strikeout. Cleveland closer Cody Allen had only thrown 28 pitches total, pitching in two games over the past three days, so it is unclear why exactly Miller was called upon for the […]
Bradley Zimmer Hits His First Home Run of the Season on Monday
Cleveland Indians outfielder Bradley Zimmer hit his first home run of the season on Monday, a two-run shot in the fifth inning. Zimmer is off to a slow start this season, hitting just .179 in the early going, but he has some serious upside and perhaps Monday's homer will be the start of a hot […]
Corey Kluber Dominates the Tigers on Monday
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber dominated the Detroit Tigers in his start on Monday, tossing eight scoreless innings while allowing just two hits and a walk. Kluber struck out 13 in his eight innings of work, throwing 103 pitches, 72 for strikes. Kluber would likely have been left in for an attempt at a […]
