Corey Kluber - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Placed on injured list The Red Sox placed Kluber on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right shoulder inflammation, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact With a 7.04 ERA and 1.64 WHIP through 55 innings, Kluber hasn't been particularly sharp all season. Now, he'll be put on the shelf for the next two weeks as the Red Sox continue to battle injuries to their pitching staff. David Hamilton will return from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move to replace Kluber.

Goes three innings, grabs save Kluber picked up the save in Tuesday's 10-4 victory over the Twins. He allowed four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two over three innings.

Impact Kluber has served as a long reliever for the Red Sox since moving to the bullpen in late May and picked up a save in his first opportunity despite giving up four runs. The bullpen experiment has garnered mixed results for Boston, with Kluber giving up one or fewer runs in four of his seven relief appearances, but he's allowed a combined 13 runs in the other three. Regardless, it's unlikely Kluber will receive many high-leverage looks unless he turns things around in a major way.

Hammered in loss Kluber allowed seven runs on 11 hits and one walk while striking out one over 3.1 relief innings in Thursday's 10-3 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Kluber made his third appearance since moving from the rotation to the bullpen and was left in for an ugly sixth inning. With Boston trailing, 3-2, the right-hander allowed eight consecutive hits to start the inning, but manager Alex Cora told Ian Browne of MLB.com that he wanted to "reset our bullpen" and be ready for a three-game weekend series in New York against the Yankees. Kluber, who was Boston's Opening Day starter and a two-time Cy Young Award winner in his days with Cleveland, watched his ERA swell to 7.13 following the outing.

Back from paternity leave Kluber was activated Friday from the paternity list, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Kluber has returned to the Red Sox and is likely to get a start in one half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rays. He was moved to the bullpen last week but did not make a relief appearance prior to being excused from the team. It's a little uncertain what the season-long plan will be for the veteran right-hander, though his fantasy appeal figures to remain quite low no matter the role.

Goes on paternity leave Kluber was placed on the paternity leave list by the Red Sox on Tuesday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Kluber and his family just welcomed a new baby, so he'll be away from the club for a few days. Ryan Sherriff is taking his spot in the bullpen.

Moving to bullpen Kluber has been demoted to the Red Sox' bullpen, manager Alex Cora said in an interview on WEEI Red Sox Network on Wednesday.

Impact Cora had said earlier this week that Kluber would make his next start, but the skipper has apparently changed his mind. Kluber has been dreadful after inking a one-year, $10 million contract over the offseason, putting up a 6.26 ERA and 34:18 K:BB across 41.2 innings covering nine starts. That, combined with Tanner Houck's strong showing his last time out, is the impetus behind Kluber's demotion. The 37-year-old wouldn't seem to be a great fit for relief and figures to be relegated to a mop-up role.

WIll make next start Boston manager Alex Cora said Kluber will make his next start Sunday in Arizona, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Kluber lasted just 2.1 innings in a loss to the Padres on Sunday and walked three batters during a four-run first inning. With Garrett Whitlock (elbow) expected to be activated and start this coming Saturday, Boston's rotation will swell to six. That means Cora will have a decide on which starter to cut to get back to a five-man rotation. Kluber had been off the radar when it came to potential rotation removals the last few weeks, but it's hard to defend his 6.26 ERA and 18 walks over 41.2 innings.

Chased early in loss Kluber (2-6) yielded five runs (one earned) over 2.1 innings and took a loss against the Padres on Sunday. He allowed three hits and three walks while striking out one batter.

Impact The Padres jumped all over Kluber in the first inning, plating four runs. He was later charged with one more run in the third after he was removed from the game. Just one of the runs allowed was earned, meaning Kluber dropped his ERA from 6.41 to 6.26. On the bright side, this was his first start all year without giving up a home run. Kluber's next start is currently lined up to be in Arizona.

Tagged with four runs Kluber (2-5) allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings Sunday, striking five and taking a loss against the Cardinals.

Impact Most of the damage against Kluber on Sunday came via the long ball, including Andrew Knizer's two-run shot in the fourth inning. Kluber was 2-0 in his last three starts after beginning the year 0-4 but found his way back to the loss column. His ERA rose to an ugly 6.41 with a 33:15 K:BB through eight starts. Kluber's next start is currently projected to be in San Diego.

Nabs second win Kluber (2-4) earned the win over Philadelphia on Saturday, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out one batter over five innings.

Impact Kluber was far from dominant in the outing, as he induced just nine swinging strikes and punched out only one batter. However, he didn't issue any walks and kept the Phillies away from big innings, allowing a single run in each of the second, fourth and fifth frames. Kluber needed 91 pitches to get through five innings, but that was enough for him to pick up his second victory. He began the campaign with four straight losses, but he's improved with two wins over his past three starts, allowing a tolerable seven earned runs over 16.1 frames during that stretch.
