Top Guardians News

  • Guardians' Angel Martinez: Enters mid-game Sunday

    Martinez replaced an injured Chase DeLauter (hamstring) on Sunday and went 0-for-3 in a 5-0 loss to San Diego.

    Guardians manager Stephen Vogt removed DeLauter "out of an abundance of caution," suggesting the injury is mild, per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. If he's unable to return for Tuesday's series opener against the Giants, Martinez should fill in once again.

  • Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Saddled with MLB-worst 13th loss

    Bibee (4-13) took the loss against the Padres on Sunday, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out three.

    Although Bibee served up a pair of solo home runs, he was still able to manage a quality start Sunday. The right-hander now leads the major leagues in losses this season, but he's worked at least five innings in seven consecutive outings and in 13 of his last 14. Bibee has a shaky 4.01 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 117:43 K:BB over 150.1 innings, and he'll be tough to trust in fantasy leagues at hitter-friendly Colorado in his next scheduled start.

  • Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Dealing with hamstring issue

    DeLauter exited Sunday's contest against San Diego with left hamstring tightness, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    DeLauter was taken out of the game in the third inning, and the team has announced his removal was due to "mild" hamstring tightness. DeLauter will likely undergo additional imaging on the left leg, and it's currently unclear if he'll be available for Tuesday's series opener against the Giants at home.

  • Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Exits early Sunday

    DeLauter was removed from Sunday's contest against the Padres prior to the third inning due to an unspecified injury, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    DeLauter made a catch on a fly ball off the bat of Manny Machado in the bottom of the first inning and popped out in his only at-bat in the bottom of the frame. The Guardians should provide an explanation behind the 24-year-old's early departure later Sunday.

  • Guardians' Franklin Gomez: Out with elbow injury

    High-A Lake County placed Gomez on the 7-day injured list June 27 due to left elbow discomfort.

    The 21-year-old lefty had compiled a 3.10 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 66:18 K:BB over 58 innings with Lake County before hitting the shelf.

  • Guardians' Angel Martinez: On bench again Sunday

    Martinez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Martinez's playing time appeared to be trending up after he produced five extra-base knocks during an eight-game hitting streak that ran from Aug. 4 through Thursday, but he now finds himself on the bench for the third time in four contests. With Martinez taking a seat, the Guardians will roll out a starting outfield of Jo Adell, Steven Kwan and Chase DeLauter from left to right.

  • Guardians' Angel Genao: Receiving break Sunday

    Genao is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    For just the second time since being promoted from Triple-A Columbus on Aug. 5, Genao will hit the bench. Rhys Hoskins will enter the starting nine as a replacement for Genao, who has produced a .294/.368/.412 slash line with one home run, one stolen base, three RBI and seven runs through his first 10 big-league games.

  • Guardians' Patrick Bailey: Getting rest Sunday

    Bailey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Bailey will rest up after he started behind the dish the previous two days. Austin Hedges will handle catching duties in the series finale.

  • Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Gets Guardians on board early

    Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over San Diego.

    Ramirez, who returned to action after getting a rest day Friday, doubled and scored the Guardians' first run in the first inning. He later hit a sacrifice fly to drive in their fourth run. Ramirez has been grinding (12-for-61) since coming off the injured list in July, and he's having his playing time managed. In a positive sign, two of his three batted-ball events Saturday had exit velocities greater than 100 mph, including the double which clocked in at 103.5 mph, the fourth-hardest hit ball he's logged since his return.

  • Guardians' Steven Kwan: Scores on double steal

    Kwan went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Padres.

    With runners at the corners in the seventh inning, the Guardians ran a double-steal with Chase DeLauter taking off for second base and Kwan scoring on the throw. Kwan has hit safely in 13 of the last 14 games, posting a .411/.493/.500 slash line and scoring 12 runs. He's experienced a remarkable turnaround in 2026. After being dropped to ninth in the order and holding a .206 batting average on June 22, Kwan has slashed .368/.449/.461 in 43 games since.

  • Guardians' Colin Holderman: Removed with wrist injury

    Holderman was removed from Saturday's 6-1 win over the Padres due to right wrist inflammation, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. He was credited with a hold while hitting a batter and retiring the other two hitters he faced.

    Holderman was removed with two outs in the seventh inning after throwing a wild pitch. He was allowed a few warmup pitches before Guardians manager Stephen Vogt decided to lift him from the game. Vogt classified Holderman's injury as a day-to-day concern following Saturday's contest, but the right-hander will likely be evaluated further before he Guardians decide if he'll require a stint on the injured list. Holderman, who was shut down for six weeks last season due to a similar injury, has been a bright spot in the bullpen in 2026. He holds a 2.39 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 46:17 K:BB over 49 innings and has collected six wins, one save and 10 holds across 49 appearances.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Shines in ninth victory

    Cantillo (9-7) earned the win over San Diego on Saturday, allowing one run on one hit and three walks while striking out seven batters over six innings.

    Cantillo yielded just one hit -- a single by the second batter he faced (Jake Cronenworth). The Padres were able to use that knock to manufacture a run, but Cantillo shut them down the rest of the way, allowing just two additional baserunners (both on free passes). Cantillo logged an impressive 15 whiffs on 87 pitches and finished with his first quality start and first outing of at least six innings since June 26. He's had issues with walks this season, but the left-hander has managed a 9-7 record with 139 punchouts over 125.2 innings while posting a 3.80 ERA and 1.44 WHIP through 26 starts. He's slated to next take the mound on the road in Colorado.

  • Guardians' Franco Aleman: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Guardians optioned Aleman to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Aleman has given up one run in 4.1 innings since coming up from Triple-A last week, but the Guardians will send him back to the minors in order to add a fresh arm to their bullpen in Logan Allen. Now sporting a 3.38 ERA through 18.2 MLB innings, Aleman has a strong chance to return to Cleveland at some point during the final stretch of the season.

  • Guardians' Logan Allen: Recalled from Columbus

    The Guardians recalled Allen from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Allen has spent the majority of the season at Columbus, turning in a 4.37 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with a 112:35 K:BB across 94.2 innings. He'll now rejoin the big club to presumably provide length out of the bullpen, replacing Franco Aleman.

  • Guardians' Slade Cecconi: MRI confirms no damage

    Cecconi (arm) underwent an MRI that confirmed no structural damage, MLB.com reports.

    That's good news for the Cecconi, who felt an issue during a relief appearance Aug. 6. The right-hander is expected to resume throwing in the coming days.
