Cleveland Indians right-hander Trevor Bauer has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a “small stress fracture” in his right fibula, manager Terry Francona said Tuesday.
Francona said there’s no timetable for Bauer’s return as the team is waiting for more information.
Bauer was hit by a line drive on Saturday against the White Sox and exited the game. On Sunday, Bauer was still limping in the clubhouse and he took precautionary X-rays. At the time, Francona had expected Bauer to be OK for his next start, Friday against the Baltimore Orioles.
Left-hander Tyler Olson has been called up from Triple-A to fill the roster spot.
Right-hander Adam Plutko will get the start on Saturday.
Bauer (12-6), an All-Star this season, is second in the American League in strikeouts (214) and third in ERA (2.22).
