Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber feels he will be able to make his next start Friday against the Rangers after leaving Saturday's start against the Twins with a sore left hip.
"In my last start, I felt the hip on one pitch," Kluber said, per The Plain Dealer. "(Saturday), it was kind of constant. It's something minor to work through and get ready for the next one ... I wanted to go more than five innings, but (Indians manager) 'Tito' (Francona) said he wanted to get me out of there because they thought I was altering my delivery."
Francona added, "It was more about protecting Corey. I just felt it was time to get him out of there."
