Guardians' Jo Adell: Pulled late with knee pain Tuesday
Rotowire
Adell was removed from Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Giants in the top of the eighth inning due to left knee pain, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Manager Stephen Vogt said Adell had "pretty good pain" in his left knee and will undergo further testing. Adell initially injured the knee when he fouled a pitch off it in the first inning. It didn't affect Adell the rest of the night at the plate, as he went on to go 3-for-4 with one homer, six RBI and one run scored before being replaced by Petey Halpin in the outfield.

Guardians' Foster Griffin: Collects 14th win of 2026
Rotowire
Griffin (14-4) earned the win against the Giants on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out six across six innings.
The Guardians' offense supplied seven runs through the the first four innings of Tuesday's game, which was plenty of cushion for Griffin. The 31-year-old southpaw gave up a solo homer to Bryce Eldridge in the second inning, but that turned out to be the only blemish to Griffin's night, who logged his 12th game of six or more strikeouts and his 13th quality start of the season. Griffin's 14 wins are tied with Chase Burns for third-most in the majors behind Cristopher Sanchez (16) and Sonny Gray (15). Griffin will take a 3.18 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over 144.1 innings into his next start, tentatively slated for this weekend on the road against the Rockies.

Guardians' Jo Adell: Career day in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Adell went 3-for-4 with a home run and six RBI during the Guardians' 8-1 win over the Giants on Tuesday.
Adell entered the night having gone 7-for-50 (.167) with two home runs and five RBI through his first 12 games for the Guardians. Tuesday's story was different, with Adell setting the tone early with a 455-foot, three-run homer in the first inning. He proceeded to drive in three more runs on singles in the second and fourth to set a career high with six RBI. The 27-year-old outfielder is one long ball shy of hitting the 20-homer mark for a third consecutive year, and he has a .695 OPS with three steals, 73 RBI and 40 extra-base hits across 510 plate appearances this season.

Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Held out of Tuesday's lineup
Rotowire
DeLauter (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Giants.
DeLauter was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Padres with left hamstring tightness, and the team off day Monday wasn't enough to get him over the hump. The good news is that an MRI came back clean, per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com, and DeLauter is feeling better Tuesday. Angel Martinez, Steven Kwan and Jo Adell will be in the outfield and Travis Bazzana will serve as the Guardians' designated hitter Tuesday.
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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.

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' Angel Martinez: On bench again Sunday
Rotowire
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.

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' Jose Ramirez: Gets Guardians on board early
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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.
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.
