DETROIT -- Giovanni Soto's first taste of the big leagues only lasted a few seconds on Saturday night. The rookie lefty took the mound in the fifth inning for the Indians, threw one fastball and induced a groundout off the bat of Detroit's Tyler Collins.
On Sunday morning, Indians manager Terry Francona was asked if Soto was available to pitch.
"We're going to probably keep an eye on him," Francona said with a hearty laugh. "My guess is he'll be able to bounce back."
The one-pitch, one-out Major League debut in Saturday's 6-0 loss to the Tigers was the beginning of Soto's September audition for the Tribe.
