Player Outlook
After appearing in 23 MLB games in 2023, Brayan Rocchio got more extended run with Cleveland in 2024 as the team's primary shortstop. The 23-year-old looked like a glove-first player who offered a little speed on the bases but was mostly inconsistent as a hitter. Rocchio ended up finishing the year with a .614 OPS, eight home runs and 10 stolen bases in 143 games. Looking ahead, he once again projects as the team's top option at short, and on a club that values defense and solid fundamentals, Rocchio should be able to hold onto the job. He has shown flashes of more offensive promise in the minors, so there may also be some room for growth in his game as well. For the time being, Rocchio isn't the most exciting fantasy option, but the playing time should be there and he's worth keeping an eye on if his production starts to trend upward.

  • Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Having strong spring

    Rotowire
    Rocchio went 2-for-3 in Saturday's spring game against San Diego. Rocchio is showing signs of improvement at the plate during Cactus League play, slashing .450/.476/.650 with four doubles through eight spring games. That builds off a strong 2024 postseason in which the shortstop had a .906 OPS. The 24-year-old was a highly regarded prospect a few years ago, and while he may not provide much in the way of power, Rocchio defends well (five outs above average in 2024) at a premium position and doesn't need to be a five-category contributor to be an asset for the Guardians.

  • Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Not in Wednesday's lineup

  • Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Registers steal in win

    Rotowire
    Rocchio went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Monday's 5-3 win over the White Sox. Rocchio has gone 7-for-18 (.389) with two home runs, five RBI and four walks over seven games in September. That has helped him gain a majority of the playing time at shortstop, though he still faces a small threat from Daniel Schneemann. Rocchio hit just .206 in August and is at a .214/.304/.328 slash line with eight homers, 10 steals, 32 RBI and 48 runs scored through 127 contests this season.

  • Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Plates four in victory

    Rotowire
    Rocchio went 1-for-1 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Kansas City. The Cleveland shortstop opened the game's scoring in the second inning innocuously with a sacrifice fly. Rocchio then returned to blast a 372-foot, two-run homer off reliever Sam Long in the seventh before drawing a bases-loaded walk in the eighth to notch his first career four-RBI performance. The 23-year-old continues to play regularly at shortstop for the Guardians despite slashing .211/.298/.319 with seven homers, 46 runs scored and 31 RBI across 381 plate appearances, as his above-average glove keeps him in the lineup.

  • Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Rotowire

  • Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Not in lineup for first game

    Rotowire
    Rocchio is absent from the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Royals. The Guardians will go with Tyler Freeman at shortstop for the first game of the twin bill. Rocchio has typically seen most of the starts at shortstop against right-handed pitching of late and should be back in the lineup for the nightcap, when righty Alec Marsh is slated to start for the Royals.

  • Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: On bench Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Rocchio is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees. The Guardians have been rotating multiple players in at shortstop lately, with both Tyler Freeman and Daniel Schneemann having poached starts from Rocchio of late. Even though he's on the bench Tuesday, Rocchio may have helped himself earn a greater share of the playing time at shortstop after going 3-for-5 with a home run in Tuesday's win over New York.

  • Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Fills stat sheet in win

    Rotowire
    Rocchio went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-5 extra-innings win over the Yankees. This was the first time in Rocchio's major-league career he homered and swiped a bag in the same game. Despite the fantastic effort, the steal was his first since May, and he entered Tuesday having gone just 4-for-24 over his previous 10 games. On the season, the 23-year-old is hitting .210 with six home runs, 27 RBI, 40 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 344 plate appearances.

  • Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Absent from lineup

    Rotowire
    Rocchio is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers. Rocchio will begin Friday's game in the dugout after going 1-for-7 with an RBI over his last two outings. Daniel Schneemann will start at shortstop and bat eight against Milwaukee right-hander Aaron Civale.

  • Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Regaining playing time

    Rotowire
    Rocchio will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Cubs. Rocchio has now started in three consecutive matchups with a right-handed pitcher and seems to have supplanted Daniel Schneemann -- who has hit the bench in two of those contests -- as the Guardians' preferred option at shortstop. While his .726 OPS since the beginning of August is a stark improvement over his season-long mark of .608, Rocchio's grip on an everyday role would still seem to be tenuous.

  • Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Taking seat Monday

    Rotowire
    Rocchio is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs. Though he's been picking up more playing time of late while he's thus far put together a .231/.310/.423 slash line in August, Rocchio isn't yet locked back in as an everyday player for the Guardians. Manager Stephen Vogt hasn't been leaning on a conventional platoon at shortstop between the switch-hitting Rocchio and the lefty-hitting Daniel Schneemann, either. Both players will hit the bench Monday against lefty Shota Imanaga while Tyler Freeman gets the nod at shortstop.

  • Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Resting Saturday

    Rotowire
    Rocchio isn't in the Guardians' lineup Saturday versus Minnesota. Rocchio went 1-for-8 with a two-run home run across both games of Friday's doubleheader, and he'll now take a seat while Daniel Schneemann starts at shortstop and bats eighth.

  • Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Registers steal in win

    Rotowire
    Rocchio went 2-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 8-4 win over the Orioles. Rocchio has started four of the last five games, suggesting he is clawing back some playing time from Daniel Schneemann, though the Guardians have faced three southpaws in that span. Over his last seven contests, Rocchio is 5-for-19 (.263) with two extra-base hits. He's at a .211/.304/.308 slash line with four home runs, eight steals, 21 RBI and 37 runs scored over 308 plate appearances this year. Cleveland has tried a number of players at shortstop in 2024, but the position remains up for grabs.

    Rotowire
    Rocchio is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Padres. Rocchio will stay on the bench for a second game in a row following the All-Star break. Daniel Schneemann will draw another start at shortstop, batting seventh against San Diego.

  • Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Getting Monday off

    Rotowire
    Rocchio is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles. Rocchio will get a breather after he started at shortstop in each of the Guardians' last four games while going 3-for-12 with a double and a walk. Gabriel Arias (personal) was reinstated from the family medical emergency list Monday and will be thrust into the lineup immediately upon his return, replacing Rocchio at shortstop.
