Corey Kluber or Trevor Bauer? Cleveland Indians still don't know who start ALDS opener

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Indians don't know who they're going to start in Game 1 of the American League Division Series. It's clear they'd like to start Corey Kluber, but he's still recovering from a strained right quadriceps muscle.

The other choice is Trevor Bauer, who will make his last start of the regular season Saturday night against the Royals.

"We've already talked to Trevor," said manager Terry Francona. "We need to talk through it with the staff, and we need to talk to Kluber more, too. We want to get a better feel for where he is, and we're not going to know that for a little bit.
