May 25 (UPI) -- New York Yankees right-hander Corey Kluber was removed from his start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night after just three innings because of shoulder tightness in his throwing arm.
The 35-year-old Kluber, who has worked his way back from injuries to serve as the Yankees' No. 2 starter, received a physical exam from team trainers after exiting New York's 6-2 loss. According to the club, he will undergo further evaluation -- including an MRI -- on Wednesday.
