Kluber (forearm) had his cast removed Thursday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a positive development in Kluber's recovery from a non-displaced fracture of his right forearm. Now it becomes a waiting game for the fracture to fully heal, at which point Kluber will begin a throwing progression. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks, according to Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal, at which time a clearer timetable for his return could emerge.

Kluber (forearm) will undergo X-rays on Thursday, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kluber has been sidelined all month with a non-displaced fracture of his right forearm. If Thursday's tests go as planned, the right-hander could be cleared to transition from his cast to a removable splint, at which point a possible timetable for his return will hopefully emerge.

Kluber doesn't expect his fractured forearm to be season-ending but he won't have a clear sense of his return timetable for several weeks, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kluber won't need surgery (at least for now) after being hit in the arm by a line drive, but the team won't be able to determine a target return date until they see how the bone heals. The fact that the injury isn't expected to be season-ending is a positive, but the fact that it was necessary to rule that out suggests that his absence could stretch far longer than just a few weeks.

Kluber's fractured right forearm won't require immediate surgery, and he will be re-examined in 3-to-4 weeks, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kluber was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday as X-rays, and a CT scan confirmed the non-displaced fracture of his right forearm he sustained after being struck by a line drive. It doesn't appear as though surgery has yet to be fully ruled out, and the 33-year-old has no official recovery timeline beyond the 3-to-4 weeks. The veteran right-hander can safely be considered out indefinitely for the time being.

Kluber (forearm) will be placed on the injured list Friday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The news comes as little surprise after Kluber was struck with a line drive Wednesday and suffered a non-displaced fracture of his right forearm. The veteran right-hander is still without a recovery timetable, but the team is expected to have more information later Friday.

Kluber was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture of his right forearm Wednesday after undergoing X-rays, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kluber was struck by a 102.2-mph line drive in the right forearm during Wednesday's start at Miami. The veteran right-hander should receive a recovery timetable Wednesday as he returns to Cleveland to be further evaluated. The Indians' depth in the starting rotation will be severely tested with Mike Clevinger (back) already on the 60-day injured list.

Kluber was removed from Wednesday's start against the Marlins after being hit in the right arm by a line drive, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brian Anderson ripped a 102.2-mph liner back up the middle and appeared to hit Kluber in the right forearm/elbow area. The 33-year-old allowed three runs on eight hits with three strikeouts before exiting the contest. More information should become available as the veteran right-hander is evaluated.

Kluber didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-3 win over the Astros, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings while striking out six.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander's sluggish start to the season continues. Kluber's 35 strikeouts in 31 innings is in line with expectations, but his 5.81 ERA and 15 walks certainly aren't. He'll look to tighten things up in his next outing Wednesday, on the road in Miami.

Kluber (2-2) struck out eight and picked up the win in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Atlanta, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings in an 8-4 victory.
EDGE Analysis
For the second straight outing, Kluber served up two homers, but this time he got plenty of run support to compensate. The right-hander has a disappointing 5.88 ERA, but his 29:12 K:BB through 26 innings offers plenty of hope for a turnaround. Kluber will look to win his third straight decision Thursday in Houston in a showdown with Gerrit Cole.
