Pre-Game reading material:
So far no roster moves have been announced, but I would assume that Trevor Bauer has been optioned to Columbus. Perhaps his replacement is Jason Giambi, who is eligible to come off the DL, or perhaps instead the Indians have brought up Yan Gomes to serve as backup until Lou Marson is ready to play.
Lineups:
Cleveland | Tampa Bay |
CF Michael Bourn | TBD |
SS Asdrubal Cabrera | TBD |
LF Ryan Raburn | TBD |
1B Nick Swisher | TBD |
DH Mark Reynolds | TBD |
C Carlos Santana | TBD |
2B Mike Aviles | TBD |
3B Lonnie Chisenhall | TBD |
RF Drew Stubbs | TBD |
I thought it would be a lock that Chisenhall would be sitting today, but instead Michael Brantley is getting the day off. With Brantley and Kipnis on the bench today, only Michael Bourn, Asdrubal Cabrera, and Nick Swisher will have started the first six games of the season.
