The Indians are optimistic that starter Corey Kluber will return to the rotation sooner, rather than later, according to MLB.com.
Kluber hurt his hamstring running in the outfield last week, but has started an aggressive rehab program that Indians manager Terry Francona said might get him on the hill quickly.
"My guess is that he'll be ready to pitch fairly quick, just because he feels really good," Francona said. "Obviously, he's champing at the bit, so we'll let it run its proper course, but as soon as he's ready to pitch and allowed to pitch, we'll pitch him."
Kluber is 8-13 with a 3.41 ERA, 219 strikeouts and 38 walks in 28 starts this season.
