The Cleveland Indians have picked up the $17.5 million option on longtime ace Corey Kluber, according to the Associated Press (h/t ESPN).
He also has an $18 million team option for the 2021 season before potentially hitting free agency.
The 33-year-old is coming off an injury-plagued season that saw him limited to seven starts due to a fractured right ulna. Kluber was largely ineffective when he did pitch, going 2-3 with a 5.80 ERA.
Prior to last season, Kluber had been one of Major League Baseball's most dominant pitchers dating back to his first American League Cy Young Award in 2014.
