On Monday, the Guardians placed Aaron Civale on the 15-Day IL with a left oblique strain and moved Triston McKenzie to the 60-Day IL.
CLEVELAND — It's early in the season but the Cleveland Guardians have already had to focus on decision-making when it comes to the pitching rotation, especially with two of the starters on the injured list.
Manager Terry Francona said that the team is still working through Battenfield's position in the rotation, noting that he would be in the bullpen on Tuesday against the New York Yankees but may or may not start on Wednesday.Shifts in the bullpen are a result of the movement around the starting rotation. As such, Francona is keeping his eye on the usage and workload of his pitchers.
But when it comes to McKenzie, Francona is staying patient. The recent move to the 60-Day IL may seem like a setback, but the Guardians skipper knows not to rush things and let McKenzie recover a little each day. McKenzie shared on his way to throw before Tuesday's game that he is"feeling good" and taking things"day by day."
