CLEVELAND, Ohio — Guardians starting pitcher Ben Lively will be examined by team doctors Tuesday after leaving Cleveland’s 5-0 win Monday against Milwaukee following just three innings and 45 pitches.

Ben Lively was a surprise Opening Day starter for the Cleveland Guardians this season. Expected to be a middle-of-the-rotation arm, Lively stepped in for the team's expected ace Tanner Bibee after manager Stephen Vogt scratched Bibee because of a minor injury.

The Cleveland Guardians have lost starting pitcher Ben Lively due to a right arm injury. Zak Kent has been called up from Triple-A Columbus to take his spot on the roster.
