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, […]

Shane Bieber Fans 12 Wednesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Shane Bieber fanned 12 Royals in Wednesday's 4-2 win. It was a solid start for Bieber as he threw 6 1/3 innings while allowing three hits, four walks, two runs, and striking out the aforementioned 12. It was Bieber's second consecutive start in which he struck out 12, but he now […]

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 […]

Jose Ramirez Still Searching For First RBI

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez hasn't had any trouble getting on base so far this year. He's recorded a hit in each of his four games and is 5-for-16 with a double, a walk and just one strikeout on the young season. However, he's yet to record his first RBI of the year. The […]

Logan Allen Takes Loss In 2021 Debut

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Logan Allen took the loss in Monday's 3-0 game against the Kansas City Royals. Allen threw five innings while allowing two runs, five hits, three walks, and striking out three. Allen and Indians starter, Triston McKenzie, shared the workload today, but it was Allen who got the most work. Allen figures […]

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 […]

Andres Gimenez Sitting On Monday

Cleveland Indians infielder Andres Gimenez is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals. This will be his second straight game on the bench- and second straight start for Ahmed Rosario at short- against a left-handed pitcher. It's worth noting that Gimenez did start against a southpaw on Opening Day, so while it […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 2
