KANSAS CITY -- The Indians remain unsure about whether right-hander Trevor Bauer will make another start before the end of the season. At the rate Bauer has been throwing on the side of late, manager Terry Francona has even been hesitant to use Bauer out of the bullpen.
Prior to Saturday night's game against the Royals, Francona said pitching coach Mickey Callaway chatted recently with Bauer about reducing the amount of throwing he has been doing during pregame workouts. Bauer has always had an extensive throwing program, but the volume has become excessive in Francona's view.
