With playoff hopes diminishing, the Cleveland Indians should shutdown Shane Bieber for the rest of the 2021 season.
With the loss to the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night (Aug. 10) in extra innings, the Cleveland Indians fell to 55-56 on the season and are all but mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. While Cleveland’s schedule is easier the rest of the season than it has been the last two months, the club is now 10.5 games back in the AL Central and eight back in the Wild Card.
