The Indians have announced their post-break rotation beginning with Scott Kazmir Friday in Minnesota, MLB.com reports. Manager Terry Francona will have Kazmir followed by Corey Kluber Saturday and Justin Masterson Sunday.
"It was really just more of matchups for everybody going through for the first 15 days or so," pitching coach Mickey Callaway said. "No huge rhyme or reason."
Masterson was originally going to start the second half, but he could pitch in Tuesday's All-Star Game.
"Just trying to give him a little blow during the All-Star break and just get him to where [he's facing] the teams we want him to face," Callaway said.
