The Tribe goes lefty for lefty in their search for someone to fill the No.5 spot in place of the injured TJ House.
Lefty Bruce Chen will fill the No.5 rotation spot for the Tribe against the Twins on Saturday, taking the place of TJ House, who is on the 15-day DL with left shoulder inflammation.
The 37yo Chen has pitched very well in five starts in AAA this season (1.74 ERA, 0.71 WHIP). However, there is obviously a world of difference between a savvy veteran being able to dominate young and/or fringe players, and being able to get MLB players out.
