CLEVELAND (AP) — The Indians placed star pitcher Corey Kluber on the injured list with a broken right arm that will sideline him indefinitely.
Kluber sustained a non-displaced fracture of his ulna bone on Wednesday night when he was hit by a line drive in the fifth inning of a start against Miami.
The Indians are not giving a specific recovery timeline for the two-time Cy Young winner, who will have his break re-evaluated in a few weeks.
Pinch-hitter Tyler Naquin’s two-out single in the ninth inning drove in the winning run and the Indians defeated the Seattle Mariners 2-1 Friday night.
Naquin was batting for Jordan Luplow and grounded the first pitch from Anthony Swarzak through the right side to score Leonys Martin from second base.
Jay Bruce homered for the Indians, who had lost five straight.
