CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The clock is ticking on Corey Kluber.
The Indians will play their first postseason game one week from Thursday. Meanwhile, an MRI on Tuesday afternoon revealed that Kluber is suffering from a mild quadriceps strain. He is expected to miss 7-10 days.
Kluber does not have a groin injury, as the Indians had initially thought. He exited Monday's contest after only four innings and 60 pitches. He returned to Cleveland for the scan on Tuesday afternoon, and rejoined the club in Detroit on Tuesday evening.
