Indians ace Corey Kluber had to deal with calluses on two fingers during the Indians’ 8-5 win against the Texas Rangers on Opening Day, but the issue isn’t expected to affect his next start.
Kluber was hit hard on Monday, allowing five runs on three home runs in six innings pitched. Due to the heat and humidity, he had at least one callus rip open during the start, which he said affected the way he could spin the ball.
On Tuesday, Indians pitching coach Mickey Callaway said he had two, one on his index finger and one on his middle finger.
