DENVER — Trevor Bauer will start Wednesday for the Cleveland Indians, coming back on two days’ rest to face the Colorado Rockies after his start Sunday at Kansas City was cut short by rain.
Bauer (5-4, 5.83 ERA) worked just 1 2/3 innings against the Royals before a lengthy delay ended his workday. He will become the first Indians pitcher to have two days’ rest between starts since a similar rain-delay scenario caused Justin Masterson to start on Aug. 9 and 12, 2011.
“He’s resilient, and when we talked to him, he was real excited about it,” Indians manager Terry Francona said.
