Cleveland Indians' pitcher Zach Plesac will remain in Lake County

"We don't yet have an opportunity for him at the major league level. However, that can change very quickly." The Cleveland Indians made a decision on who will start Wednesday night's game against the Minnesota Twins at Progressive Field: Mike Clevinger. Not Zach Plesac. Indians team president Chris Antonetti shared with the media not only that Clevinger would ultimately get the nod to start Wednesday, but also that he called Plesac after the decision was made to explain that the club simply does not have an opportunity for him at this time at the Major League level. Plesac, 25, was optioned down to the Tribe's alternate training site at Lake County after violating team protocols on a road trip to Chicago. Plesac had left the team hotel to visit friends in Chicago for dinner. Upon learning that Plesac had violated team rules, the Indians sent the right-hander back to Cleveland in a car. One day later it was discovered that Clevinger was with Plesac out in Chicago. Clevinger had flown home on the team plane. Following a team meeting in Detroit, both Plesac and Clevinger were sent to Lake County. While Adam Plutko has struggled, Triston McKenzie was brilliant in his Major League debut on Saturday, so right now the Indians only needed one more starter to join Shane Bieber, Aaron Civale and Carlos Carrasco in the starting rotation. The club opted to go with Clevinger. Antonetti did leave the door open on possibly welcoming Plesac back eventually telling MLB.com that things can always change quickly and that the 25-year-old right-hander should remain ready if and when he is needed for the Indians.
