Ingle went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, four RBI and an additional run scored for Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.
Ingle is off to an impressive start for the Clippers, slashing .357/.617/.786 with 18 walks, four home runs and 12 RBI over 47 plate appearances. A .400 BABIP has helped, but Ingle is patient hitter that makes contact, knows how to get on base and rarely strikes out. With just 41 career games at Triple-A, he may not be ready for a promotion, but if Bo Naylor's bat continues to underwhelm (.156/.224/.244), Ingle could make his MLB debut at some point in the near future.

Guardians' Cooper Ingle: Heading to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Guardians promoted Ingle from Double-A Akron to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.
Ingle, a 23-year-old catching prospect, batted .273 with nine home runs and a 65:70 BB:K over 403 plate appearances with Akron. He'll likely finish out the 2025 season and open the 2026 campaign as Columbus' No. 1 catcher, but Ingle should have a good chance at reaching the majors at some point next summer.

Guardians' Cooper Ingle: Reaches Double-A in first full season
Rotowire
Ingle is slashing .276/.389/.408 with two home runs, four steals and as many walks (14) as strikeouts in 22 games for Double-A Akron.
Ingle, a 22-year-old catcher whom the Guardians selected in the fourth round last year, had a dominant showing at High-A Lake County earlier in the year before getting promoted to Double-A in August. He slashed .313/.433/.500 with nine homers and three steals with more walks than strikeouts in 68 games in the Midwest League. Ingle's eventual power output is to be determined, but at the very least, he seems to have a good hit tool for an upper-level catching prospect.
