Kluber won't miss time because of calluses

ARLINGTON -- Indians ace Corey Kluber is not expected to miss any time after dealing with callus issues during his Opening Day outing against the Rangers on Monday.

Prior to Tuesday's game against Texas, pitching coach Mickey Callaway noted that Kluber has split calluses on the pointer and middle fingers of his right hand. The issue hindered Kluber's ability to throw his offspeed offerings, but he was able to stay in for six innings in Cleveland's 8-5 comeback win.

"I don't think it's as big [an issue as it seemed]," manager Terry Francona said.
