Shane Bieber injury leaves Cleveland Indians starting rotation in shambles

This season has dealt blow after blow to the Cleveland Indians when it comes to injuries, but the most devastating one may have just been laid. On Monday the organization placed defending American League Cy Young Award winner and ace starting pitcher Shane Bieber on the 10-day injured list with a shoulder strain, leaving the starting rotation in absolute shambles.

It was only a year ago that the Cleveland Indians had one of the strongest rotations in baseball, being led by Bieber and included Mike Clevinger and Carlos Carrasco who have both been traded, Zach Plesac who is also on the IL and Aaron Civale who is the only one left standing.
