Clevinger Apologizes; Tito Has Battled GI Issues Since October

The Cleveland Indians have placed starting pitchers Zach Plesac and Mike Clevinger on the 'Restricted List' after the pair broke protocol and left their Chicago hotel following the Indians 7-1 win over the White Sox Saturday. Plesac and Clevinger are both quarantined as a result of their actions. Plesac issued an apology to their teammates, the organization and fans Monday night. Clevinger issued an apology in a statement released Tuesday night. It reads as follows:

“There is an implicit trust that each of my teammates share as we navigate a season during this pandemic, and I broke that trust. In Chicago, I made the mistake of violating the protocols but the biggest mistake of all was not immediately coming clean to my teammates. I owe them better. I now realize that by even exposing myself to just one person more than necessary, I am putting myself, my teammates, the guys I compete against, the umpires, the staff, the Indians organization as well as the Game that I love at risk. There is no excuse for my actions, and I can only take responsibility and learn from my mistakes. Moving forward, I promise my actions will reflect a full understanding of the protocols set in place while I continue my passion for competing for the incredible Indians’ fans and the City that I adore.”

In other Tribe news, Skipper Terry Francona returned to the Indians dugout Tuesday night against the Cubs at Progressive Field after missing the previous eight games while he battled a gastro-intestinal issue.

In an exclusive interview with Carmen Angelo and Dennis Manoloff on the 'Mike Trivisonno Show,' 'Tito' said he has been battling the G-I issue since last October.

Terry says he has had 'five or six' procedures at the Cleveland Clinic to help alleviate the issue. Francona said he does not feel 100-percent but he says he's back because it's his job.
