Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber became the second Cleveland pitcher to land on the disabled list this season with a sprained finger. Zach McAllister spent six weeks on the disabled list recently with a middle finger sprain as well.
McAllister suffered his injury throwing a curveball and Kluber was also injured throwing a breaking ball Monday against the Tigers.
"He felt it on a breaking ball four pitches before he came out," manager Terry Francona said Tuesday, according to The Plain Dealer. "We got him scanned (MRI). At the minimum he'll be on the disabled list. We'll know more on Wednesday."
The injury could end Kluber's season, but the Indians remain hopeful that won't happen.
"He's been great for us this year," fellow starter Justin Masterson said. "Our hope is that it's not as bad as McAllister's was. He was out for quite sometime."
