Emmanuel Clase Locks Down Save
Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Emmanuel Clase recorded his first save of the season in Friday night's 4-1 win over the Detroit Tigers. This save comes just one game after Nick Wittgren recorded the first save of the season for the Indians. Apparently, Terry Francona was not kidding around when he said Clase, Wittgren, and James […]

Franmil Reyes Strikes Out Three Times Wednesday
Cleveland Indians outfielder and designated hitter Franmil Reyes went 1-for-4 with three strikeouts in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Kansas City Royals. It was a rough day for Reyes as he looked lost at the plate in a couple of at-bats, and it has been a rough start to the season for him as he […]

Nick Wittgren Records Save Wednesday
Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Nick Wittgren recorded his first save of the season in the Indians 4-2 win against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. Wittgren threw a 1-2-3 ninth inning to record the save. This could be rather significant for Wittgren and the Indians as it was the first save for any Indians reliever […]

Jose Ramirez Homers Twice Wednesday
Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 2-for-4 with two two-run home runs in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Kansas City Royals. The home runs were Ramirez's first RBIs of the season and they were surely needed in this one as he provided all the offense for the Tribe. Despite the lack of run production, […]

Amed Rosario To See More Time In Center Field
Cleveland Indians infielder Amed Rosario may start to see regular time in center field, according to Indians beat writer Mandy Bell. Indians manager Terry Francona was quoted as saying, "he's not just a platoon player, for sure. We'll make sure we keep everybody to a point where they can be productive." This leads Bell to […]

Triston McKenzie Makes Season Debut
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie made his 2021 debut in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Kansas City Royals. McKenzie did not start this one and instead piggy-backed off of starter Logan Allen. This was because the Indians do not need a fifth starter just yet thanks to the multiple off-days they have in the […]

Shane Bieber Tabbed As Indians Opening Day Starter
The Cleveland Indians will open up the season with Shane Bieber as their Opening Day starter at the Detroit Tigers. The matchup is a great one for Bieber as Detroit led the league in terms of strikeout rate against right-handed pitching in 2020. Bieber as the Opening Day starter should come as no surprise as […]

Victor Reyes Goes 2-for-3 Monday
Detroit Tigers outfielder Victor Reyes went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Monday's 5-2 victory over the New York Yankees. Reyes is now 9-for-31 with four RBI and one stolen base this spring. While Reyes was leading off in this one, it seems likely he could split some time in the outfield since the Tigers […]

Rich Hill Makes Final Spring Start
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Rich Hill made his final start of the spring Monday and allowed three earned runs on five hits while walking two and striking out four in five innings of work. It has been a rough spring overall for Hill as he had pitched to the tune of a 6.94 ERA […]

Francisco Mejia Batting Fifth Monday
Tampa Bay Rays catcher Francisco Mejia is batting fifth for the Rays on Monday. Mejia has bounced around in the lineup this spring and often has been closer to the top and middle of the lineup. He was acquired via trade with the San Diego Padres this offseason and is expected to be the Rays' […]

Hanser Alberto Contending For Starting Job
Kansas City Royals infielder Hanser Alberto could be the Kansas City Royals starting third baseman when they break camp. Alberto came to the Royals this offseason as a non-roster invitee, but has had a solid spring thus far as he is now 11-for-29 with two RBI and six runs scored. He provides exceptional value against […]

Jordan Luplow Goes 0-for-3 Sunday
Cleveland Indians outfielder Jordan Luplow went 0-for-3 in Sunday's 3-3 tie with the San Diego Padres. Luplow has had a slow start to the spring since returning from an ankle injury as he is yet to record a hit through his first 12 at-bats. He was leading off in this one, but will likely see […]
