Top Guardians News

  • Guardians' Triston McKenzie: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Guardians outrighted McKenzie to Triple-A Columbus on Monday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    It's a bit of a surprise there wasn't another organization willing to take a chance on getting McKenzie to rediscover his old form. As it is, the right-hander has accepted an outright assignment and will likely be inserted into the rotation at Columbus.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Back on bench Monday

    Schneemann is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

    Schneemann will hit the bench after he had picked up starts -- two at second base and one in left field -- in each of the last three contests. The 28-year-old owns a .715 OPS over 49 plate appearances on the season, and while he doesn't appear to have a grasp on a full-time role, he should remain in line for a handful of starts per week against right-handed pitching due to his ability to play multiple infield and outfield spots.

  • Guardians' Angel Martinez: Getting day off

    Martinez is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Twins.

    Martinez had started each of the previous nine games and 14 of the past 15 tilts, but he will begin Monday's series opener on the bench. Nolan Jones will shift over to center field and Jhonkensy Noel will get a start in right field.

  • Guardians' Cody Bolton: Recalled from Triple-A

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

    Bolton will provide a fresh relief arm after the Guardians had a doubleheader over the weekend. The 26-year-old holds a 5.40 ERA and 39:24 K:BB over 40 career frames at the big-league level.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Sent down to minors

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

    Cantillo has pitched well out of the Guardians' bullpen this season, posting a 2.35 ERA and 20:8 K:BB over 15.1 innings. Cleveland is likely making this move in order to stretch Cantillo back out to start in case he's needed for rotation help later on.

  • Guardians' Nic Enright: Debuts for Triple-A club

    Enright (lat) issued three walks over a scoreless inning of relief Sunday for Triple-A Columbus after being activated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

    Enright struggled to find the strike zone in his 2025 debut, but he was able to get himself out of a jam after loading the bases in the sixth inning. The right-hander had opened the season on Columbus' IL after he sustained a low-grade right lat strain prior to reporting to spring training. He possesses a spot on the Guardians' 40-man roster but is unlikely to be in the mix for a call-up anytime soon.

  • Guardians' Trevor Stephan: Close to game action in minors

    Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Sunday that Stephan (elbow) is "progressing well" and is expected to return to game activity at the organization's spring training complex in Arizona at some point in May, Michael Beaven of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Stephan missed the entire 2024 season while recovering from UCL reconstruction surgery, which he underwent last March. Now more than a year removed from the procedure, Stephan has reached the point in his recovery program that he's facing hitters, and he'll likely soon test himself in a simulated-game setting in Arizona before reporting to an affiliate for a rehab assignment. The right-hander was a key piece of the Cleveland bullpen in his last healthy season in 2023, turning in a 4.06 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 75:26 K:BB while collecting seven wins, 30 holds and two saves over 71 appearances.

  • Guardians' David Fry: Close to game action in Arizona

    Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Sunday that Fry (elbow) is "progressing well" and is expected to return to game activity at the organization's spring training complex in Arizona at some point in May, Michael Beaven of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    A 2024 All-Star, Fry's production slowed down in the second half of last season while he played through right elbow inflammation, but he bounced back during the Guardians' playoff run, hitting .286 with two home runs over 10 postseason contests. The 29-year-old ultimately needed surgery in early November to repair the UCL in his elbow, and since the procedure was to his throwing arm, he's not expected to be ready to catch or play the infield or outfield until 2026. The Guardians still envision Fry contributing as a designated hitter in 2025, so he could return from the 60-day injured list once he stacks up some at-bats at extended spring training and during his minor-league rehab assignment.

  • Guardians' Shane Bieber: Close to pitching in sim games

    Bieber (elbow) is expected to begin pitching in simulated games at the Guardians' spring training complex in Arizona at some point in May, SI.com reports.

    Though the Guardians haven't officially confirmed as much, Bieber appears to have reached the point in his rehab that he's facing hitters, after he had been limited to throwing bullpen sessions by the end of spring training. The right-hander is working his way back from April 12, 2024 Tommy John surgery and will require an extensive ramp-up period once he's deemed ready for game action in the minors. If he avoids any setbacks, Bieber could be ready to make his 2025 debut for the Guardians around midseason.

  • Guardians' Doug Nikhazy: Optioned after spot start

    The Guardians optioned Nikhazy to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

    Nikhazy was up as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader versus the Red Sox and struggled in a spot start in his major-league debut, allowing six runs over three innings while taking a loss. The left-hander will now rejoin the rotation at Columbus.

  • Guardians' Slade Cecconi: Throws bullpen session

    Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said that Cecconi (oblique) completed a bullpen session Sunday, SI.com reports.

    Cecconi has missed the entirety of the 2025 campaign to this point while recovering from a left oblique strain that he suffered in mid-March. The right-hander will likely complete a few more side sessions before facing live hitters and eventually heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

  • Guardians' Nolan Jones: Supplies lone offense in loss

    Jones went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 13-3 loss to the Red Sox.

    The Red Sox were up, 9-0, when Jones launched a three-run homer in the sixth inning. It was the first long ball of the season for the outfielder, who entered the contest with just two RBI over 23 games. Jones is batting .190/.311/.317 with six extra-base hits, five RBI and five runs scored.

  • Guardians' Logan Allen: Crushed in loss

    Allen (1-2) took the loss against the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and three walks with two strikeouts over 4.1 innings.

    Allen had allowed only five earned runs across his first four starts of the year but couldn't escape a four-run fifth inning Sunday. The southpaw struggled to put hitters away, throwing just 57 of 96 pitches for strikes with 10 whiffs. He'll take a 4.21 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 18:13 K:BB across 25.2 innings into a road matchup with the Blue Jays next weekend.

  • Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Manzardo is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Manzardo has a .936 OPS with three homers in his past eight games, but he'll take a seat Sunday even though Boston is sending a righty-hander (Brayan Bello) to the mound. Jose Ramirez is resting his legs as the designated hitter while Will Wilson receives a start at the hot corner.

  • Guardians' Carlos Santana: Slump continues

    Santana went 0-for-1 with a walk and an RBI in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Boston. He did not play in the nightcap.

    Santana produced a run with a sacrifice fly during Cleveland's four-run first inning, just his second RBI over the last 12 games. His batting average has dipped to .202 following a stretch of 23 at-bats without a hit.

  • Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Logs two hits, steal

    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox. He went 0-for-4 in the nightcap.

    Most of Ramirez's production in the matinee occurred in the first inning, when he drove in the first of four Cleveland runs in the opening frame then stole second base and scored. The third baseman has turned on his jets over the last week. After logging just one theft in his first 17 games, Ramirez has stolen four in the subsequent seven-game span. He might be hard pressed to reach the career-high 41 steals logged in 2024, but Ramirez should record 20 or more for the eighth time in his career.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Guardians' Jhonkensy Noel: Clubs first homer of year

    Noel went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.

    After sitting out the matinee against Tanner Houck, Noel got the start in right field and batted eighth in the nightcap against Walker Buehler. Big Christmas took advantage of the opportunity, launching a hanging sweeper over the left-field fence in the fourth inning for his first long ball of the season. Noel has seen sporadic playing time so far and hasn't done much to push for a bigger role, managing just a .465 OPS through 49 plate appearances. Nolan Jones hasn't fared much better (.567 OPS in 70 PAs), so if Noel can heat up, there's a clear path for him to take on a bigger share of the workload in right field.

  • Guardians' Doug Nikhazy: Rough big-league debut Saturday

    Nikhazy (0-1) took the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, coughing up six runs on five hits and six walks over three innings. He struck out three.

    Making his MLB debut, Nikhazy managed to toss only 50 of his 90 pitches for strikes before getting a merciful hook. The 25-year-old southpaw was making a spot start due to the twin bill, and while he's had some early success at Triple-A Columbus (3.44 ERA, 22:7 K:BB in 18.1 innings) this year, Saturday's performance won't encourage Cleveland to rush him back to the majors the next time the team needs rotation depth.
