Top Guardians News

  • Guardians' Carlos Carrasco: Will open in Cleveland rotation

    Carrasco will open in the Guardians' rotation and make his season debut Sunday against the Athletics, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    The presumption after it was announced Carrasco had made the team was that it would be as part of the rotation, and that has now been confirmed. His stay in the rotation could be a brief one, depending on how quickly Gavin Williams (elbow) makes it back, but Carrasco should log at least a couple starts. The 37-year-old held a 6.80 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 66:38 K:BB over 90 innings (20 starts) for the Mets last season.

  • Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Done playing in big-league ST games

    DeLauter will not play in any more big-league spring training games this season, manager Stephen Vogt told Christopher Dellacese of 19 News.

    DeLauter was in minor-league camp but was able to make 30 plate appearances with the big club this spring, slashing .520/.600/1.040 with four home runs and more walks (five) than strikeouts (four). He will likely head to Double-A or Triple-A as a 22-year-old and could be up playing on an everyday basis for the big club sometime in the first half.

  • Guardians' Myles Straw: Clears waivers, heads to Triple-A

    Straw cleared waivers Sunday and will report to Triple-A Columbus, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Straw was waived Friday, and unsurprisingly, no other teams were interested in putting in a claim for an outfielder who hit a paltry .239 and slugged just .302 over parts of three seasons in Cleveland. He has strong speed and defense, but it'll likely take an injury to another Guardians outfielder for Straw to get back in the majors.

  • Guardians' Estevan Florial: Secures roster spot

    Florial will be on the Guardians' Opening Day roster, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    Florial hit .167 and struck out 20 times over 14 Cactus League games, but he was still able to leapfrog Myles Straw on the organizational depth chart. A left-handed hitter, Florial looks set to see playing time at least as a strong-side platoon option in center field. Tyler Freeman and Ramon Laureano are the Guardians' right-handed options for center, with that playing-time battle likely to extend beyond spring training.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: On Opening Day roster

    Brennan made the Guardians' Opening Day roster, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    Brennan hit .266 with a .655 OPS and 13 stolen bases over 138 games last season while serving as the Guardians' primary right fielder. That spot is not guaranteed to him this season, as Estevan Florial and Ramon Laureano will also compete for playing time there. Brennan hit .243 in spring training, and as a left-handed batter, he could be set for a strong-side platoon role once the games start to count.

  • Guardians' Deyvison De Los Santos: Misses Opening Day roster

    De Los Santos is not listed on the Guardians' Opening Day roster, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    The Guardians attempted to add left and right field to De Los Santos' defensive skill set this spring in an effort to make him easier to carry on the 26-man roster, but he will fail to make the cut after posting a .545 OPS across 44 spring plate appearances. The Guardians acquired De Los Santos via the Rule 5 Draft this offseason, so the 20-year-old prospect will now be offered back to the Diamondbacks and likely head to Double-A or Triple-A to begin the year.

  • Guardians' Myles Straw: Left off Opening Day roster

    Straw is not on the Guardians' Opening Day roster, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    The Guardians placed Straw on waivers Friday, and the team has now officially announced its intentions to begin the season without him as part of its outfield unit. Straw is owed roughly $20 million over the next three years, so he will most likely clear waivers and head to Triple-A while Cleveland keeps Estevan Florial, Tyler Freeman and Ramon Laureano as its options in center field.

  • Guardians' Cade Smith: May begin in MLB bullpen

    Smith will begin the season in the Guardians' bullpen unless the team acquires another reliever in the next few days, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    At the moment, Smith's 2.25 ERA and 1.00 WHIP through eight spring innings has earned him a spot in Cleveland's bullpen, though it's unclear how aggressive the Guardians will be in pursuing another reliever to replace the 24-year-old righty. Smith spent most of last season in Triple-A Columbus, where he turned in a 4.65 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 40.2 frames. If he does remain on Cleveland's Opening Day roster, he likely will be limited to low-leverage situations to begin his MLB career.

  • Guardians' Tyler Freeman: Makes roster

    Freeman will be on the Guardians' Opening Day roster, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports Friday.

    Freeman's defensive versatility likely played a big part in making the roster, as he hit a modest .286 with a .784 OPS over 11 Cactus League games. The 24-year-old provides cover around the infield and also saw ample playing time in center field during spring training. Center is one of the weak spots in the Guardians' lineup and the team is moving on from Myles Straw, who was waived. In addition to Freeman, Estevan Florial and Ramon Laureano could also see time in center, with Florial the only one of the trio who hits from the left side of the plate.

  • Guardians' Sam Hentges: Bound for IL

    Hentges (finger) will begin the season on the injured list, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    There's no word yet on a specific diagnosis for Hentges' finger injury, but it's apparently bad enough that a stint on the IL will be required. It's a blow to the Guardians' bullpen, as he boasts a 2.91 ERA and 128:37 K:BB over 114.1 innings across the last two seasons.

  • Guardians' Myles Straw: Placed on waivers

    Straw has been placed on waivers by the Guardians, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    Straw will undoubtedly clear waivers given that he's still owed about $20 million over the next three years, but he has a minor-league option remaining and it sounds like he could be left off the Opening Day roster. If that's the case, the Guardians would appear ready to roll with a combination of Estevan Florial, Ramon Laureano and Tyler Freeman in center field.

  • Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Set for utility role

    Guardians manager Stephen Vogt announced Friday that Brayan Rocchio will begin the season as the club's primary shortstop, pushing Arias into a utility role, Tom Withers of the Associated Pressreports.

    Arias had a chance to win the shortstop job but posted a .623 OPS across 37 plate appearances during spring training. The 24-year-old will still make the roster as a utility option, but he likely won't see enough playing time to be relevant in most fantasy formats.

  • Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Wins shortstop job

    Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Friday that Rocchio will begin the season receiving the "bulk" of the playing time at shortstop, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

    The 23-year-old is one of Cleveland's top prospects and had a decent showing during spring training with a .270/.308/.459 slash line in 13 games. Rocchio hit just seven home runs in 116 games at Triple-A Columbus last season, but he hit .280, stole 25 bases and had a 60:66 BB:K, so he could get on base enough to provide fantasy managers some value on the basepaths.

  • Guardians' Tyler Beede: Nabs roster spot

    Beede was informed Friday he made the Guardians' Opening Day roster, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    The right-hander signed with Cleveland as a non-roster invitee in January and earned a roster spot by posting a 1.69 ERA with a 10:4 K:BB over 10.2 frames in spring training. Beede spent last season pitching in Japan and had a 4.08 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 75 innings. He still needs to be officially added to the club's 26-man and 40-man rosters.

  • Guardians' Carlos Carrasco: Makes Opening Day roster

    Carrasco has been informed that he has made the Guardians' Opening Day roster.

    He has not yet been officially added to the 26-man and 40-man rosters, but Carrasco has been told he'll head north with the big club. The veteran right-hander could even open in the rotation while Gavin Williams (elbow) recovers. Carrasco has posted a 2.57 ERA and 9:6 K:BB over 14 innings this spring.

  • Guardians' Jose Tena: Optioned to Columbus

    The Guardians optioned Tena to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.

    Tena didn't hit well in 18 major-league games last season, and his struggles have followed him into spring training with a .219/.289/.281 slash line. Tena has played in just 20 Triple-A games in his career, so perhaps spending more time in the minors to develop will help establish himself at the plate.

  • Guardians' Justin Campbell: Out for season

    The Guardians' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate placed Campbell (elbow) on its full-season injured list.

    Since being selected by the Guardians with the 37th overall pick in the 2022 First-Year Player Draft, Campbell has yet to make his professional debut. He looks like he'll have to wait until at least the 2025 season to do so, as the Guardians are already discounting the possibility of the right-hander toeing the rubber in 2024. Campbell underwent ulnar nerve decompression surgery on his right elbow on May 23, 2023 and had been expected to pitch in 2024, but he may have suffered a setback at some point over the last few months.
