Indians ace and reigning Cy Young winner Corey Kluber has been scratched from tonight’s scheduled start against the Tigers with a hamstring injury.
Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that Kluber suffered the injury while running in the outfield between starts and “will miss at least a week and it’s not known if he’ll pitch again this year.”
Josh Tomlin and Danny Salazar have each been moved up one day in the rotation and for now the Indians haven’t named a starter for Sunday.
Kluber’s win-loss record is ugly thanks to awful run support, but he has a 3.41 ERA in a league-high 200 innings with a fantastic 219/38 K/BB ratio.
