CLEVELAND – The Indians and their fans will get their first look at a former All-Star pitcher on Thursday night, as Danny Salazar will get the start for the Indians against the Astros at Progressive Field.
It’ll be the first time Salazar will have pitched in a big league game since the playoffs back in October of 2017 against the New York Yankees.
“To be honest with you, everybody grinds it out to get to this point,” Indians manager Terry Francona said.
“It was hard because we missed Danny. He kept getting to points where he didn’t feel like he could push through, and he was finally able to.
