EDGE Analysis

Floyd and the Indians will determine the next steps following his rehab start but he could make a couple of starts for the Indians in September if he's able to get in enough innings down in the minors during his rehab.

Cleveland Indians pitcher Gavin Floyd will make a rehab start for the team's Rookie league affiliate Wednesday as he continues to recover from an elbow injury, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Floyd suffered a re-occurrence of the stress fracture that cut short his 2014 season and has yet to pitch in a game this year.

Floyd (elbow) indicated Monday that doctors haven't ruled out the possibility of him pitching this season, Paul Hoynes of the Northeast Ohio Media Group reports. Floyd is out of his cast and splint, but remains without a timetable for return. While there's a chance for him to pitch again this season, it's not a guarantee at this point and would likely require a rehab without setbacks. If he does return, it would probably come late into the season, so his fantasy value at this point remains minimal.

Floyd (elbow) was placed on the 60-day disabled list Sunday, Joe Reedy of FOX Sports Ohio reports. Floyd is in danger of missing the entire season, after he re-injured the stress fracture in his right elbow. Even in a best-case scenario, he won't be available until the second half of the season.

Floyd (elbow) will begin range of motion activities in about two weeks, but still remains without a timetable, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports. Floyd underwent surgery on his elbow earlier this week, which will likely sideline him for most, if not all of the 2015 campaign. In his absence, T.J. House becomes the favorite to secure the final spot in the Indians' rotation, with Shaun Marcum, Zach McAllister and Josh Tomlin also competing.

Floyd will have surgery on his right elbow Tuesday and could miss the entire 2015 season, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports. Floyd missed the end of the 2014 season due to a stress fracture, and a re-injury of the same elbow will result in possible season-ending surgery. With his spot in the rotation now up for grabs, T.J. House now becomes the favorite for the final spot, with Shaun Marcum, Zach McAllister and Josh Tomlin also in the mix.

Floyd (elbow) will have his MRI sent for a second opinion to determine what actions he will take, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports. Floyd reportedly re-injured a stress fracture that caused him to miss the end of the 2014. His timetable this season is unclear, but it should be released once the opinions are taken into consideration.

Floyd (elbow) suffered a re-injury of the stress fracture that ended his 2014 season, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports. This is obviously close to worst-case scenario for Floyd and the Indians, as the right-hander was expected to be a member of the starting rotation. The team has not announced a treatment plan yet - surgery is believed to be an option - but an official release stated Floyd will be out "for the foreseeable future," so it's unclear when he could return to the mound this season.

Floyd (elbow) will undergo an MRI after experiencing continued soreness during his recent throwing sessions, MLB.com reports. "We all felt like the ball's coming out pretty good, but he's still feeling some things," manager Terry Francona said. "It's a little vague, so we just think this makes sense to get it looked at. Floyd was expected to open the season as a member of the Cleveland starting rotation but those plans may be in jeopardy if the team's medical staff can't get their arms around this situation quickly.
