Because of what he's been through, giving him a couple days to let the trainers do their thing, things like that, I think really sets him up to, when he does move along now, you don't have the bumps in the road. And, if those things happen, we're willing to [adjust]," manager Terry Francona said. Floyd and the Indians aren't going to hesitate to pull back a bit even if it means he's not ready for the start of the regular season as a result. There's still a lot of time left for Floyd to ramp back up if he can get back on the mound next week.

Floyd (elbow) will have his first appearance of the spring pushed back a couple of days, MLB.com reports. "We're just trying to back up Gavin a few days," manager Terry Francona said.

Floyd (elbow) signed a one-year contract with the Indians on Tuesday. The deal is only said to include $4 million in guaranteed money, so it's a relatively low-risk investment on the Indians' part. Floyd turned in strong numbers in nine starts with the Braves last season (2.65 ERA, 1.25 WHIP) before a fractured elbow ended his campaign.
