CLEVELAND -- Happy Report Day, Indians fans.

It’s been more than three months since the Tribe last held an organized practice due to the coronavirus pandemic, but now Summer Camp is officially underway. The Indians expected all of their players to get to town by Wednesday, and their first on-field workout is scheduled for Friday.

With the activity at Progressive Field ramping up, let’s take a look at some questions fans have heading into the season:

The rotation is certainly something the Indians are going to have to figure out over the next three weeks, but a three-man rotation probably won’t be on the table -- at least coming out of the gate. Starters have been working all through the three-month hiatus; however, three weeks of Summer Camp will be a short period of time to get them all stretched out or get close to mid-season form by Opening Day.

With the plethora of starters the Indians have, including Mike Clevinger, Shane Bieber, Carlos Carrasco, Adam Plutko, Zach Plesac, Aaron Civale, Logan Allen and Jefry Rodriguez, it may be easier to envision either a six-man rotation to begin the season or a regular five-man, with starters tossing shorter outings. That way, they could piggyback someone with any of the other available arms to have a fresh starter come out of the bullpen to help provide length in games while easing the starters into the season.

There is no maximum for the number of pitchers on the 30-man roster. When Indians manager Terry Francona was asked how many hurlers he plans to carry to start the year, his best guess was 15; however, that’s clearly subject to change.

Who could be a surprise to make the roster? Cam Hill made a strong impression during Spring Training on his teammates and the coaching staff. The Indians' bullpen is anything but set in stone and the 26-year-old has put himself in the running to earn a spot.

Yes, the three-batter minimum rule will still be in effect. All pitchers must face at least three batters or pitch to the conclusion of the half-inning before being removed from the game. The only change that’s been made is that any player may appear as a pitcher at any point in the game. Previously, the plan for the 2020 season was to only permit position players to take the mound when a team was up by at least six runs or the game reached extra innings.

Triston McKenzie has fully recovered from the upper back and pectoral strains that kept him out all last season. The problem is, he hasn’t pitched in a game since August 2018. The 22-year-old was added to the Indians' 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft over the winter and was ready to get into game action with the Tribe during Spring Training. However, the club decided against throwing him in a Major League preseason game and he was optioned to Minor League camp to make his first start, but the coronavirus shut everything down before he was able to take the mound.

Would they decide to call him up this year, knowing that his only game-like experience in two years will come in intrasquad games with Class A Lake County? Maybe. But they also have Clevinger, Bieber, Carrasco, Plutko, Plesac, Civale, Allen, Rodriguez and Scott Moss as viable starting options. That may move McKenzie further down -- at least for this shortened season -- in the pecking order, making his debut wait another year, assuming no injuries to the big league staff occur.

Though there were no guarantees for Emmanuel Clase or James Karinchak to break camp with the Indians, both seemed to be on the right track to making the big league roster. Now that Clase has been suspended for the 2020 season due to performance-enhancing drug use, Karinchak’s role may even be more important in the Tribe's bullpen.

He’s inexperienced, making just five appearances in September for Cleveland, but his stuff and Minor League numbers were nothing short of impressive. Karinchak’s velocity is much needed in a bullpen that averaged the slowest fastball in the Majors in 2019, and despite his fastball command issues, he seems to be a lock in the 'pen for the Indians this year.

Entering camp, the Indians are 100 percent healthy. When Spring Training was forced to shut down in March, Oscar Mercado was dealing with a left wrist sprain, Clevinger was working his way back from a partial meniscus tear in his left knee, Carrasco was battling right elbow inflammation and Tyler Naquin was in his final stage of rehab from the right ACL tear he sustained August. All have recovered and will enter Summer Camp at full strength.

Once the Indians reach the 60-player maximum in their pool, they don’t have the same freedom to add as they do now, sitting at 55. If they want to sign someone externally, they can add him immediately into the mix. If they were at 60 players, they’d have to clear a spot in the player pool. Anyone who isn’t on the 40-man would have to be released, while those on the 40-man would have to clear waivers. Indians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said the club will take the next few weeks to figure out what its needs are and will use those five spots to either add to their Major League depth -- externally or internally -- or bring in a few more prospects to continue their development.

The 55 players the Indians added into their player pool on Sunday were pretty much expected. If we’re looking for a surprise, the biggest one may be that infielder Brayan Rocchio, the club’s No. 6 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, was left off the list. Because the Minor League season has been canceled, teams are including a few top prospects in player pools to continue their development. The rest of the Indians' top nine prospects were included in the first 55 players assigned to camp on Sunday, but since the Tribe still has five spots open, Rocchio could still be added at some point.

Now let’s take a best -- and way too early -- guess at a starting lineup for the Indians on Opening Day:

Francisco Lindor, SS
Oscar Mercado, CF
Carlos Santana, 1B
Franmil Reyes, LF
José Ramírez, 3B
Domingo Santana, DH
César Hernández, 2B
Roberto Pérez, C
Tyler Naquin, RF
Shane Bieber, SP
