Tomlin gave up two runs on seven hits over 5.1 innings Wednesday while striking out five but didn't factor into the decision in a 6-5 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
He got the hook after only 83 pitches (57 strikes) with the score knotted at 2-2, as manager Terry Francona continues to limit Tomlin's workload. The righty now has a 2.91 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in four September starts, but hasn't completed six innings in any of them. He's set for one more trip to the mound in the regular season Wednesday at home against the Twins.

Tomlin pitched 5.2 innings, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four in a no-decision Thursday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander continued his trend of short, but effective outings, tossing fewer than 80 pitches for a sixth consecutive start. Although Tomlin is 5-0 with a 2.66 ERA over his last seven games, his low strikeout rate and stamina create problems for fantasy owners. He's scheduled to make his next start Wednesday on the road against the Angels.

Tomlin (9-9) picked up the win after allowing two runs on four hits while striking out three batters across five innings Saturday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Tomlin collected his second win in as many starts since returning from the disabled list at the beginning of September, and he's allowed just three runs over 10 innings (2.70 ERA) in those two outings. His 6.8 K/9 limits his fantasy upside, but the Indians have been unbeatable lately, so the 32-year-old could continue to steal some wins down the stretch. Tomlin will look to keep lowering his 5.13 ERA as he faces the Royals on Thursday in his next start.

Tomlin (8-9) picked up the win over the Tigers on Sunday, giving up one run on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings while striking out two.
EDGE Analysis
Cleveland scored four runs in the first three innings en route to an 11-1 rout, allowing Tomlin to settle in and pound the zone without too many worries. The right-hander was limited to 74 pitches (52 strikes) in his first start since coming off the DL, but he should be able to handle a full workload in his next outing Saturday at home against the Orioles.

Tomlin (hamstring) will not start either game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The expectation was that Tomlin would start Wednesday, but the Indians shuffled things around following Tuesday's postponement. Trevor Bauer and Ryan Merritt are now slated to start in New York, while Tomlin will move back to either Friday or Sunday against Detroit. Tomlin posted a 2.60 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 16:1 K:BB in three second-half starts before landing on the DL.

Tomlin (hamstring) will be activated from the disabled list to start Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Zack Meisel of The Athletic Cleveland reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tomlin was able to get through Friday's minor-league rehab appearance with no issues -- allowing one earned run and tossing 65 pitches -- clearing the way for him to make his next start for the big club. He compiled a 5.38 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and 86:12 K:BB in 110.1 innings before landing on the disabled list at the end of July.

Tomlin (hamstring) will go on a rehab assignment Friday and is expected to rejoin the big-league rotation Aug. 30 at Yankee Stadium, Zack Meisel of The Athletic Cleveland reports.
EDGE Analysis
Danny Salazar (elbow inflammation) is out indefinitely, and while Tomlin won't be ready to jump into that rotation spot this week, he will slot in next week if everything goes according to plan. Meanwhile, Ryan Merritt will be recalled to start Friday. Tomlin has a 5.38 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 86 strikeouts in 110.1 innings this season, but his 4.07 xFIP hints at better starts ahead.

Tomlin (hamstring) threw three innings of a simulated game Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Tomlin's level of activity has steadily increased since landing on the DL at the beginning of August. When Tomlin was placed on the disabled list it was estimated that he would need to miss six weeks of action. However, an early return for the righty could be in order if he holds his current pace.

Tomlin (hamstring) threw off a mound Friday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The session went well and Bastion is now moving on to a simulated game that is currently scheduled for Monday. The injury, which landed him on the disabled list at the end of July, was supposed to leave him out of action for about six weeks but he is currently on a fairly quick rehab schedule that could see him return sooner than those original estimates.
