Cleveland Indians fans were in a familiar situation back in August when Trevor Bauer was sent to the disabled list after being hit with a line drive.
Fans had seen it before with Carlos Carrasco and have also dealt with a never healthy Danny Salazar. Bauer’s Cy Young season was derailed with one swing of the bat. Luckily, his postseason availability is no longer in question.
Bauer got the start Tuesday night in somewhat of an “opener” role. He threw 60 pitches in four innings before Carlos Carrasco entered the game in relief.
