TORONTO — Trevor Bauer and his drone were ready to explain themselves.

The Cleveland right-hander kept the mood light at his news conference Sunday, showing up with the drone he said cut his finger and forced him to miss his start in Game 2 of the AL Championship Series. Bauer is scheduled to pitch Game 3 tonight against Toronto, with the Indians leading the series 2-0.

“I brought my friend to answer any questions about what happened that I can’t answer,” Bauer said while the drone sat on display on the table in front of him.

Bauer received stitches on his right pinkie after the accident Thursday night, and both he and manager Terry Francona now say they don’t expect the injury to affect him much.
