First, the Indians lost slugger Franmil Reyes, and now they’ll be without starter Zach Plesac.
Manager Terry Francona said on Tuesday that Plesac is heading to the injured list with a non-displaced fracture in his right thumb. After his start on Sunday, he injured the thumb while taking off his undershirt and getting it caught on the chair at his locker. When the swelling didn’t subside by Monday, he was sent for an X-ray.
“He was, I think, probably rather aggressively ripping off his shirt,” Francona said. “He called [athletic trainer] James Quinlan, and James called me. It was pretty swollen yesterday. … As you can imagine, our wheels started to turn.”
