The Cleveland Indians are dealing with minor injuries to three players. Pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Aaron Civale and outfielder Daniel Johnson.
File this under nothing to be too worried about. The Cleveland Indians have a few more minor injuries to concern themselves with. Pitchers Aaron Civale and Emmanuel Clase and outfielder Daniel Johnson, Here is a report from The Athletic’s Zack Meisel.
Doesn’t sound like anything too serious. Cleveland can deal with Aaron Civale only being a few days behind schedule at the start of Spring Training. They can also deal with Emmanuel Clase’s lat discomfort. The fact Terry Francona said Clase could pitch through it if this was the regular season should allow fans to take their hand off the panic button. Sound like the Indians are just being cautious if anything.
Cleveland is already without Mike Clevinger, who is expected to miss the start of the season. Luckily Cleveland dodged a bullet with Carlos Carrasco, as he is working his way back from leg discomfort. Civale and Clase not having anything serious to worry about will keep fans from losing their cool, for a day or two at least.
A sprained ankle for Daniel Johnson doesn’t appear to be a cause for concern, but it could take him out of the running of making the Opening Day roster. The likelihood that was going to happen to begin with was slim to none and slim just walked out the door. Cleveland will look to their plethora of other options to field their outfield when the regular season starts.
