The Texas Rangers, also known as the team that gifted Cleveland Emmanuel Clase, will be coming to town as the Guardians start a seven-game homestand.
Assuming there are some closer-worthy games over the next three days, Clase will get to face his former team for the first time this season. Ranger fans at Progressive Field may catch a Corey Kluber jersey or two in the crowd as they reminisce about the one inning they got from the former Cy Young Award winner before a shoulder injury ended his 2020 season.
Getting to Clase will require Cleveland to hit the ball, something they have done inconsistently this season as a young and very streaky team.
