CLEVELAND -- The Guardians' starting rotation is rotating.
Cleveland got some encouraging news Monday on injured starter Triston McKenzie, while Aaron Civale was placed on the 15-day injured list with a strained left oblique -- the latest setback for the right-hander.
Civale, who pitched seven scoreless innings in his season debut at Seattle, felt some tightness following his start in the home opener on Friday. The discomfort continued Saturday when he was going to do some long toss.
Imaging showed the strain, and the club placed Civale on the IL before opening a three-game series against the Yankees.
