Prior to their game with the White Sox yesterday, the Cleveland Indians sent Adam Plutko to AAA Columbus because they “will not need a 5th starter for a while.” (Shane Bieber is going to be just that, but temporarily, apparently.) Jeff Beliveau was promoted to take his roster spot. Yes, that Jeff Beliveau. The one who has been the worst of the bad Indians bullpen promotion/demotions. Plutko is likely to return next month.
Yesterday’s game
• The Indians jumped out early on Lucas Giolito and added on periodically. Giolito is not good.
