Two-time AL Cy Young winner Corey Kluber could be done for the season.He is headed to the injured list after just one inning of work in his debut as a Texas Rangers starter.
He has a tear in a small muscle in his right shoulder and is not expected to make another start this season — if he pitches at all.He does not need surgery but will receive a platelet-rich plasma injection.
The right-hander will then be evaluated in about four weeks to determine if he can start throwing again. Team president and general manager Jon Daniels said Monday an MRI revealed a grade 2 tear.“Given the time frame here and the nature of a 60-game schedule and everything that goes with it, the timeline is not on our side,” Daniels said.
