MILWAUKEE -- Jennifer Buckland, a physical therapist at Cleveland Clinic Euclid Hospital, will serve as the Indians' Honorary Bat Girl as part of baseball's "Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer" initiative on Mother's Day, when the Tribe will host the Royals at 1:10 p.m. ET at Progressive Field.
Despite showing no symptoms and having no family history, Buckland was diagnosed with breast cancer following a routine mammogram in 2015.
Buckland was 40 at the time, and she opted to undergo a mastectomy followed by 12 weeks of chemotherapy.
