Yesterday’s baseball: Off day
Today’s baseball: McKenzie vs. TBD
Cleveland baseball news
As the title suggests: Is today the day we see Owen Miller? According to @IndiansPro on Twitter, Cleveland is expected to make the call today and demote an arm. This was from Tuesday, so maybe something has changed, but Miller has continued to crush Triple-A pitching so I remain optimistic.
Look for the #Indians to add Owen Miller to the roster after the Angels series is completed & demote an arm to Triple-A Columbus.
