Logs hold Tuesday Plutko pitched 1.1 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out two to earn a hold in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Marlins.

Impact Plutko entered the game in the sixth inning after Shawn Armstrong worked his way into a jam. The 29-year-old Plutko allowed two inherited runners to score, but he was able to limit the damage there. He's pitched to a 1.64 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 8:3 K:BB across 11 innings so far. He has a 1-0 record and two holds in seven outings.

Rebounds with first hold Plutko pitched a perfect eighth inning with two strikeouts to earn a hold in Friday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact Plutko allowed his first two runs of the season Tuesday versus the Mariners, but he bounced back with a clean outing Friday. The right-hander has a 1.93 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and six strikeouts in 9.1 innings across five appearances so far. Plutko remains more of a long-relief option for the Orioles.

Earns win in relief Plutko (1-0) allowed one hit and struck out two over 2.1 innings to earn the win Saturday versus the Red Sox.

Impact Starter Matt Harvey couldn't quite complete five innings, so Plutko came in for a multi-inning assignment. The 29-year-old Plutko looked good in his Orioles debut, throwing 21 of his 33 pitches for strikes. The right-hander had a 4.88 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB across 10 appearances (four starts) spanning 27.2 innings with Cleveland last year. Plutko appears set to work in a similar long-relief role in 2021, so his fantasy value is likely to be limited. Should the Orioles need a spot starter or an opener, he could be a candidate in those situations as well.

Indians' playoff positioning hurt by 8-0 loss to Pirates

The Cleveland Indians suffered a setback in their bid to host a first-round playoff series, losing 8-0 to Joe Musgrove and the major league-worst Pittsburgh Pirates

SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 • Associated Press

Picks up win No. 2 Plutko pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and striking out one, two earn the win over the Pirates on Friday.

Impact Plutko entered the ninth inning in a relatively low-pressure scenario as the Indians were already down 3-1 and just wanted to keep the game close. The right-hander did just that as he got through the inning with ease while only allowing a single to Jared Oliva. Plutko has some appearances as a starter this season but has recently seen his opportunities come from the bullpen. The 28-year-old has a 4.88 ERA across 27.2 innings and could be used in long relief during the postseason if needed.

AUGUST 29, 2020 • Associated Press

Records four-inning save Plutko pitched four scoreless innings, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out two to pick up the save in Friday's 14-2 win over the Cardinals.

Impact It was a rare save in baseball, as Plutko pitched the necessary three or more innings to be eligible, while Cam Hill's one scoreless inning earned him the win. Plutko isn't in the mix to take Brad Hand's closer job anytime soon. The 28-year-old Plutko has a 5.57 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 11 strikeouts in 21 innings across six appearances (four starts), but he's likely to be used for long-relief situations like he was on Friday.

Impact Plutko joined the Cleveland rotation earlier this month, shortly after both Zach Plesac and Mike Clevinger were placed on the restricted list and later optioned to the Indians' alternate training site for violating COVID-19-related safety protocols. The right-hander hasn't impressed in any of his first three turns through the rotation, working no more than four innings in any start while posting a 9.90 ERA and 1.86 WHIP. Prospect Triston McKenzie appears to have already leapfrogged him on the depth chart after a dominant MLB debut over the weekend, so Plutko would likely be headed back to the bullpen if the Indians decide to add one or both of Clevinger or Plesac back to the 28-man roster this week.

Roughed up Friday Plutko (1-2) allowed seven runs on five hits (two home runs) and two walks while striking out just one batter across 3.1 innings as he took the loss Friday versus the Tigers.

Impact Plutko was able to record the first 10 outs of the game without much trouble and then proceeded to give up seven runs in the fourth without managing to get another batter out. Friday's start figures to be Plutko's last one for a while as the Indians could recall Zach Plesac and Mike Clevinger from the team's alternate training site soon.

Draws another start Plutko is slated to start Friday's series opener versus the Tigers, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Indians aren't yet planning to bring back Opening Day rotation members Mike Clevinger and Zach Plesac back from the alternate training site, so Plutko and prospect Triston MacKenzie will both be making starts this weekend. Plutko has already made two turns through the rotation as the Tribe's No. 4 starter, working 6.2 innings between the outings and giving up four runs on 10 hits and a walk.
