A few weeks ago, an update regarding starting pitcher Mike Clevinger cast some serious concerns over the Cleveland Indians‘ chances in 2019. Another one was provided yesterday, which essentially had the exact opposite effect.
Despite a back injury initially sidelining Clevinger until the midway point of the season, we found out yesterday he appears to be ahead of schedule. When the injury announcement first came down, we heard it would be two months before he could even pick up a baseball. However, manager Terry Francona said Clevinger played catch at 60 feet yesterday, even throwing out of his normal delivery.
