CLEVELAND -- With the regular season ending in under three weeks, Indians right-hander Trevor Bauer is doing all he can to be available for the postseason. He cleared another hurdle in that process this week by getting back on a mound.
Prior to Friday's series opener against the Tigers, manager Terry Francona noted that Bauer's bullpen session (consisting of approximately 20-25 pitches) went well on Wednesday and he has bounced back strong in the past two days. Bauer, who is on the disabled list with a stress fracture in his right fibula, is slated to throw off a mound again on Saturday.
