CLEVELAND - Corey Kluber doesn't need surgery on his broken right arm — for now.
Cleveland placed the two-time AL Cy Young Award winner on the 10-day injured list Friday, without providing a definitive timeline for his return to the rotation.
Kluber sustained a non-displaced fracture of his ulna bone Wednesday night when he was hit by a line drive against Miami.
He had more imaging tests taken Thursday at the Cleveland Clinic, and the results confirmed the initial diagnosis.
Manager Terry Francona said Kluber's arm will be immobilized for the next week and the 33-year-old will be X-rayed once a week.
The cast will be removed in three weeks, when doctors will decide what's next.
Francona said the club purposely avoided guessing at a recovery time.
"Number one, it doesn't help," Francona said. "And two, it's not really fair to the player. That's exactly how they [doctors] laid it out. Bones need to heal."
