Indians pitcher Kluber suffers a broken forearm

Cleveland Indians righthander Corey Kluber, a twotime American League Cy Young Award winner, sustained a non-displaced fracture to his pitching forearm when struck by a comebacker Wednesday night in Miami.

Kluber left the game with two outs in the fifth inning after he was hit by a line drive from Miami Marlins right fielder Brian Anderson that was clocked at 102 mph.

Kluber (2-3) left the game immediately due to what was initially described as a contusion. An X-ray found the fracture, and the team announced that Kluber would be re-evaluated in Cleveland today.

• One day after his second blown save of the young season, Texas Rangers right-hander Jose Leclerc will be removed from his role as closer, at least temporarily, the team disclosed. Manager Chris Woodward said the change was needed after Leclerc posted an 8.44 ERA in 13 appearances to start the season. The 25-yearold squandered a three-run lead in the ninth inning Tuesday and the Rangers ended up with a 6-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
