Cleveland lost one of its best pitchers Tuesday when it placed right-hander Trevor Bauer on the 10-day disabled list with a small stress fracture in his right leg.
Cleveland is in complete control in the AL Central, leading second-place Minnesota by 12½ games going into Tuesday night’s games. But any lingering issue with Bauer could hurt its chances of advancing in the playoffs.
Bauer was struck by Jose Abreu’s liner in the seventh inning of Saturday night’s 3-1 win over the White Sox in Chicago. He returned to Cleveland after experiencing soreness and swelling, and an MRI exam revealed the injury.
