Kluber could have his first Cactus League appearance, scheduled for Saturday, pushed back due to the flu, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Analysis:

Kluber threw two innings in a simulated game Tuesday but was dealing with the flu Wednesday. Don't be alarmed if the Indians proceed with a little but of caution with their ace, but this won't have any impact on his readiness for the start of the regular season.
