Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Trevor Bauer (finger) will face "a couple hitters" during batting practice, manager Terry Francona said.
Bauer was pulled from his Game 3 start in the American League Championship Series after just two-thirds of an inning due to stitches in his right pinky coming undone. He's expected to be fine for Wednesday's Game 2 of the World Series. If Francona and the Indians hold him out until Game 3, Josh Tomlin would get bumped up for Wednesday.
Across 5.1 innings this postseason, Bauer has twirled a 5.06 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 30.4 strikeout percentage. numberFire gives Bauer and the Indians a 36.6 percent chance of pulling the World Series upset over the Chicago Cubs.
