The Indians began a three-game series with the Detroit Tigers Monday night. The Tribe came home after a ten day, three city road trip. The Indians ended that road trip on a somber note in Minnesota. Right-fielder Josh Naylor collided with second baseman Ernie Clement on a check-swing-pop-up from Twins’ Jorge Polanco. Naylor suffered a closed fracture & dislocation of the right ankle. He will be evaluated, later this week, to determine the extent of the injury and timetable for operative intervention.
Eli Morgan was on the hill for the Tribe Monday. This marked his fourth major league start.
