Cleveland Indians Pitcher Corey Kluber Breaks Right Forearm

via Wkyc:

Corey Kluber got hit hard again, and the last line drive really hurt.

The struggling Cleveland Indians right-hander broke his right forearm when he was hit by a comebacker during a 4-2 loss to the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night.

Kluber (2-3) was struck by Brian Anderson’s liner in the fifth inning.

Kluber’s arm was placed in a cast, and he’ll be re-evaluated in Cleveland on Thursday. The Indians will have a better idea at that point of how long he might be out.

“It stinks, you know?” teammate Roberto Perez said. “He’s our ace. We’re going to miss him.”

The two-time American League Cy Young Award winner allowed eight hits and three runs in 4 2/3 innings, which left his ERA at 5.80. The Indians were already without starter Mike Clevinger, who is sidelined until at least June by a back injury.
