Mike Clevinger and Zach Plesac’s big night out in Chicago has reportedly been the source of significant tension within the Cleveland Indians.
Clevinger and Plesac, both members of Cleveland’s starting pitching rotation, were optioned to the team’s alternate site on Friday after they violated COVID-19 protocols during a road trip in Chicago earlier this month.
Before the decision to move Clevinger and Plesac away from the team for at least the next 10 days was reached, the two were “scolded” by teammates during a “testy” meeting on Friday, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
