The Indians announced Monday that Clevinger will begin a mandatory quarantine process after he violated team protocols during Cleveland's recent road trip in Chicago over the weekend,, Nick Camino of WKYC Channel 3 Cleveland reports.
Adam Plutko will now start in place of Clevinger against the Cubs on Tuesday, denying the Tribe's ace of a potential two-start week. While he's in quarantine, Clevinger will be need to pass subsequent COVID-19 testing before being cleared to rejoin the team. He could make it back for the Indians' road series in Detroit over the weekend, but it's far from a lock at this point that he'll be available to make a start during the three-game set.
