Guardians' Tanner Burns: Goes on IL with shoulder strain
Rotowire
Double-A Akron placed Burns on its 7-day injured list Monday with a right shoulder strain.
Given that he's been diagnosed with a strain of his shoulder rather than soreness or inflammation, Burns appears destined to miss multiple weeks rather than the minimum seven days. The 23-year-old right-hander had made five starts for Akron this season, submitting a 1.69 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 27:11 K:BB across 21.1 innings.

Rotowire

Indians' Tanner Burns: Strong campaign at High-A
Rotowire
Burns has a 3.33 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 59:15 K:BB across 10 starts with High-A Lake County this season.
The 36th overall pick in last year's draft, Burns has looked good in his first pro campaign, though it's worth noting that the 22-year-old has scuffled recently -- he's compiled a 4.67 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in his last four outings -- and is averaging less than five innings per start. Nonetheless, Burns appears to be developing well overall, justifying his draft position and his status as one of Cleveland's top prospects. Considering that he didn't pitch all that many innings in college, the team is likely to take a slow and steady approach to his development, but he's one to watch.
