Hope everyone is having a nice holiday! Perhaps you’re even heading out to Monday’s game against the Astros. Terry Francona has shuffled the rotation a bit – with his struggles recently, they’ve obviously decided to rest Josh Tomlin. Corey Kluber, who was likely due to pitch in Monday’s game, was instead moved to Tuesday’s game. This means that he’ll be scheduled to pitch against Detroit and Kansas City; important when you’re in the midst of a pennant race. So Mike Clevinger will take the mound against Mike Fiers as the Indians hope to continue their winning ways against Houston.
