The Indians were forced to make an early call to the bullpen in Game 3 of the ALCS when a wound on Trevor Bauer’s pinky finger re-opened.
Bauer cut the finger while repairing his drone on Friday and required 10 stitches to close the wound. The Indians pushed his first start of the series back from Game 2 to Game 3 in order to give the cut more time to heal.
Because the cut is on the outside of the finger, the team believed Bauer would be able to pitch through it. The finger began to bleed profusely in the bottom of the first inning and home plate umpire Brian Gorman said Bauer had to be removed from the game.
