Starting rotation becoming biggest concern for the Cleveland Indians
Entering the 2021 season, the starting rotation of the Cleveland Indians was viewed as arguably the top strength of the club. While the unit started relatively strong, struggles from the back-end of the starting rotation paired with below normal performances from the top trio has now put the rotation as one of the main concerns of the club up to this point in the season.
There is still work to be done for other aspects of the club, the main being the offense, but those struggles could be overlooked when the pitching was outstanding.
