Kluber only pitched in one game during the shortened season last year due to a shoulder injury. He only pitched 35.2 innings the season before that.
Prior to his recent injuries, Kluber had pitched five straight seasons with over 200 innings for the Indians. The 34-year-old won Cy Young Awards in 2014 and 2017 and is a three-time All-Star.
Kluber had a pitching showcase on Wednesday, which resulted in interest from numerous teams.
