CLEVELAND -- The idea going into this season was to leverage Andrew Miller in later innings and use Boone Logan as a specialist against left-handed hitters. With both currently shelved by injuries, Indians manager Terry Francona is doing what he can to mix and match.
The biggest challenge, until Miller returns from the 10-day disabled list from right knee soreness, might be finding solutions against tough left-handed hitters. For now, Cleveland's lone lefty in the bullpen is Tyler Olson, putting the onus on the Tribe's other right-handed relievers to help pick up the slack.
