KANSAS CITY -- The Indians have yet to unveil the full scope of their pitching plans for the upcoming American League Division Series against the Astros. The biggest question at the moment is how Cleveland intends to utilitize right-handers Trevor Bauer and Mike Clevinger.
During the Tribe's run to the World Series in 2016, one of the driving forces for the club in October was a focus on the game in front of them, rather than planning too far in advance. With that approach in mind, Indians manager Terry Francona may make either Clevinger or Bauer available out of the bullpen for Games 1 and 2 in the ALDS.
