Indians place Trevor Bauer on DL with stress fracture

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cleveland Indians have placed right-hander Trevor Bauer on the 10-day disabled list with a small stress fracture in his right leg.

Bauer was struck by Jose Abreu's liner in the seventh inning of Saturday night's 3-1 win at the Chicago White Sox. He returned to Cleveland on Tuesday after experiencing soreness and swelling, and an MRI revealed the injury.

Bauer is one of the top candidates for the AL Cy Young Award. The 27-year-old right-hander is 12-6 with a 2.22 ERA in 25 starts.

Tyler Olson was recalled from Triple-A Columbus to take Bauer's roster spot. Right-hander Adam Plutko will make his seventh start of the season in place of Bauer on Saturday.
