Kluber pitched in only one game during the shortened season last year due to a shoulder injury. He pitched only 35.2 innings the season before that.

Before his recent injuries, Kluber had pitched five straight seasons of more than 200 innings for Cleveland. The 34-year-old won Cy Young Awards in 2014 and 2017 and is a three-time All-Star.
