Indians Place Mike Clevinger On 10-Day IL

By Mark Polishuk | June 21, 2019 at 2:32pm CDT

FRIDAY: The Indians have placed Clevinger on the IL (retroactive to June 18) and recalled lefty Josh Smith from Triple-A Columbus, Mandy Bell of MLB.com tweets.

THURSDAY: After spending over two months on the injury list, Indians right-hander Mike Clevinger is likely going to be sidelined again due to a sprained left ankle, Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.  Clevinger suffered the injury on Monday, while fielding a grounder in the second inning of the Tribe’s 7-2 loss to the Rangers.  He stayed in to finish the outing, ultimately lasting 4 2/3 innings and allowing five earned runs.

An IL placement could be somewhat precautionary in nature, as Hoynes thinks Clevinger could ultimately just miss one start if the Tribe backdates the move to June 18th.  As Clevinger only just returned from a teres major muscle strain, the team doesn’t want him to try and tough it out with an injury to his plant foot, which Hoynes notes could alter his delivery and lead to more serious injury problems.  Clevinger had been slated to start on Saturday against Detroit.

While this latest injury seems pretty minor, it still represents an unwelcome setback for a Cleveland team that needs all the help it can get as the Tribe try to remain in the wild card race (and within shouting distance of the Twins in the AL Central).  Clevinger has emerged as one of the Indians’ better pitchers over the last two seasons, and looked great in his first two outings of 2019 before his first injury absence.

          So exciting that they’ve helped them all the way to one game over .500.

        I know they’ve been blasted for their offseason approach but I don’t think any front office or player deserves injuries, especially to the degree the Indians have experienced.

          I don’t think they deserve injuries. I do think they deserve the poor performance and amount of games they’re back in the standings for it though.

    Maybe his hair got in his eyes and that caused him to lose his balance….

    At least the schedule is being kind. Other than needing a starter to replace him for Saturday they will not need a 5th starter until after the break so they can take the time to make sure he is ready to come back.
