The Indians will now have three representatives at next week's All-Star game in San Diego, as starting pitcher Corey Kluber has been named to the American League team as an injury replacement.
Kluber will be replacing Toronto's Marco Estrada, who has been placed on the 15-day disabled list.
This season Kluber 8-8 with a 3.79 ERA and 114 strikeouts in 114 innings pitched, but like last season, his advanced statistics have remained solid. Among qualified starters, his 2.96 FIP leads the AL, per FanGraphs. He's also tied for the AL lead with 3.1 WAR, along with Chicago's Jose Quintana.
It's the first All-Star selection for Kluber, the 2014 AL Cy Young Award winner.
