Manager Terry Francona and the Cleveland Indians announced a couple of days ago that they’d be calling up one of their top pitching prospects, Shane Bieber, to start tonight’s game in Minnesota.
They made it pretty clear that it’s just a one-time thing for now and it’s simply to allow Trevor Bauer an extra day of rest following his 127-pitch outing against the Houston Astros this past weekend.
However, despite this being just a one-start call-up, one can’t help but be excited given how well Bieber has looked in the minor leagues to this point.
