DeLauter went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a solo homer and two additional runs scored in Game 1 of the ALCS against the Rays on Monday.

The rookie outfielder went 0-for-4 in his playoff debut versus the White Sox in Game 1 of the ALDS, but he's now collected at least one hit in five straight games. DeLauter broke the seal for Cleveland on Monday with his sixth-inning solo shot, and he came around to score after doubling in the eighth and working a walk in the ninth. Through his first six postseason games, the 25-year-old is batting .333 with three walks, two extra-base hits, three RBI and five runs.

Simpson is absent from the lineup Monday in Game 1 of the ALCS against the Guardians.

With left-hander Foster Griffin toeing the rubber for Cleveland, the left-handed-hitting Simpson will begin the festivities on the bench. The Rays will roll out Ryan Vilade in left field. Simpson is a good bet to eventually enter Monday's contest after the Guardians turn to their bullpen.

Martinez is not in the lineup Monday for Game 1 of the ALCS versus the Rays.

Martinez started in left field in the Guardians' first four postseason games but went 0-for-15 at the plate. He has since been out of the lineup for two consecutive contests. Cleveland will go with Steven Kwan in left field and Petey Halpin in center field Monday.

Marsee underwent an internal brace procedure on Monday to repair his left elbow UCL, FishOnFirst.com reports.

After playing with some discomfort down the stretch of the regular season, Marsee had his elbow examined before opting for surgery. He is expected to be game-ready in six months, putting his status for Opening Day in question. Marsee put together a .231/.348/.359 batting line with 11 home runs and 23 stolen bases this season for the Marlins.

Scheemann is absent from the Guardians' roster for the ALCS, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

The Guardians will go with an additional pitcher against the Rays instead, with Slade Cecconi joining the bullpen. Schneemann did not make an appearance during the ALDS versus the White Sox.

Martinez isn't in the lineup for Game 5 of the ALDS against the White Sox on Saturday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Martinez will retreat to the bench Saturday after going 0-for-15 to begin the Guardians' postseason run. Steven Kwan will shift to left field as a result, allowing Petey Halpin to start in center.

Montgomery isn't in the lineup for Game 5 of the ALDS against the Guardians on Saturday.

Montgomery will begin Saturday's win-or-go-home contest on the bench after going 3-for-23 across the White Sox's first six postseason games. Tristan Peters will shift to right field while Montgomery sits, opening up center field for Brenton Doyle.

Marsee will undergo a UCL repair with an internal brace on his left elbow Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Marsee played through elbow soreness down the stretch of the regular season, and surgery was recommended following a visit with Dr. Keith Meister. He is expected to be ready to play in games again in six months, which puts his availability for Opening Day in doubt. Marsee slashed .231/.348/.359 with 11 home runs and 23 stolen bases this season for Miami.

Mesa went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Game 3 of the ALDS against the Yankees on Wednesday.

The 25-year-old went 1-for-6 with a walk and a stolen base in the first two games of the series, but he found his power stroke Wednesday with a sixth-inning homer that broke a 2-2 tie and proved to be the difference in the outcome. Mesa is coming off a productive rookie campaign that saw him post an .825 OPS with 14 homers, nine steals, 34 RBI and 37 runs in 79 regular-season games.

Adell went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple and three RBI in Game 3 of the ALDS against the White Sox on Wednesday.

After striking out in all four of his at-bats during the series opener Saturday -- which was his postseason debut -- Adell has responded by going 3-for-7 with two triples and four RBI in the past two contests. The 27-year-old came to the plate Wednesday with the bases loaded and two outs during the third inning, and he cleared the bases with a triple to give Cleveland a lead it would not relinquish while facing elimination.
