For the Cleveland Indians, it's 'next man up,' and that means more of Mike Clevinger

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Indians tried everything in their power to keep Mike Clevinger in the bullpen for the club's postseason push.

With injuries to both Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar, the team is out of options. They'll not only need to rely upon Clevinger in the starting rotation for the final two weeks of September, but possibly in October, as well.

"It's going to be a little bit more of a challenge here," Clevinger said. "More pressure. More is put on your plate."

Can he handle it?

Clevinger first joined Triple-A Columbus last September and made two starts for the Clippers.
