CLEVELAND: The Indians’ wounded pitching staff added a few more stitches to it Friday.
Trevor Bauer has been pushed back to start Game 3 of the American League Championship Series on Monday after he needed 10 stitches to close a laceration on the top of his right pinkie finger. He cut his hand while doing “routine maintenance” on his drone.
Josh Tomlin will now start Game 2 Saturday for the Indians.
“I think we’ve all probably at some point or another had a drone-related problem,” Indians manager Terry Francona joked, and after all the injuries to Tribe pitchers, the only thing left to do is laugh.
