Cleveland Guardians starter Triston McKenzie could be sidelined for two months with a shoulder strain, an early blow to the defending AL Central champions. The team said an MRI in Goodyear, Arizona, revealed a strain of his right teres major muscle. He’ll be shut down from throwing for two weeks and then re-evaluated. McKenzie had been scheduled to start Cleveland’s second game of the season in Seattle on Saturday. McKenzie was removed from an exhibition start on Sunday after one inning when he felt tightness in his right triceps. The 25-year-old right-hander went 11-11 with a 2.96 ERA in 31 games last season.
