What It Means:

The Indians' matchup with the Yankees on Tuesday was postponed due to rain, but MLB.com's Jordan Bastian is reporting a change to the Indians' rotation for tomorrow's doubleheader. Instead of the scheduled starter, Josh Tomlin, Ryan Merritt will start the second half of the two-game set as Trevor Bauer pitches Game 1. Tomlin could start Friday or Sunday's game in Detroit.

In 4 appearances -- including 3 starts -- at the major league level, Merritt has gone 1-0 with a 2.74 FIP and a 52.5% groundball rate in 2017.
