Corey Kluber picked up his 12th win of the season on Friday as he held the Royals to one run over 5 1/3 innings. He walked one and struck out four but had to leave early with an ankle sprain.

Fantasy Impact:

Kluber sprained his ankle covering first base and departed after throwing just 74 pitches. While the injury doesn't sound overly serious, it isn't clear whether he will need a stay on the DL or not. Kluber had a streak of 14 straight starts with at least eight strikeouts snapped in the outing.
