Guardians' Paul Sewald exits game against Twins due to shoulder inflammation

Cleveland Guardians reliever Paul Sewald exited in the fifth inning of Monday night's game against the Minnesota Twins due to right shoulder inflammation after retiring the first two batters he faced. Sewald showed signs of discomfort after throwing a first-pitch fastball to Ryan Jeffers and was replaced on the mound by Tim Herrin. The team will assess his condition further and may consider additional scans to determine if a stint on the injured list is necessary. Sewald has a 6.17 ERA in 14 appearances this season and previously struggled with injuries last year while with Arizona.
