Bauer will start in place of Danny Salazar (illness) on Friday against the Angels, Jeff Fletcher of the OC Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Salazar has been scratched from Friday's start due to illness, and the Indians will send out Bauer in his place, bumping up his scheduled start by one day. The club is yet to announce how they'll handle the rotation for the weekend, but if Salazar is feeling better Saturday, he could simply take Bauer's previously scheduled spot.
