Guardians' Johnathan Rodriguez: Making MLB debut Tuesday
Rodriguez is starting in right field and batting seventh Tuesday against the Mets.
The 24-year-old was called up from Triple-A Columbus on Monday and will make his MLB debut for Cleveland a day later. Rodriguez posted a .276/.389/.449 slash line with seven homers through 43 games for Columbus this season, and he could carve out a regular role given the Guardians' lack of offensive production from their outfield this year.

Guardians' Xzavion Curry: Called up, starting Tuesday
Curry was recalled from Triple-A Columbus and will start Tuesday against the Mets, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
The 25-year-old was optioned to Columbus in mid-April but will return to Cleveland's rotation as Carlos Carrasco (neck) lands on the injured list. Curry made just one start while up with the Guardians and delivered five scoreless frames, and he should have a chance to stick in the rotation with another strong performance Tuesday.

Guardians' Carlos Carrasco: Out with neck spasms
The Guardians placed Carrasco on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to acute neck spasms, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
The veteran right-hander was scheduled to start Tuesday against the Mets but will now be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks. Carrasco had been pitching well of late with a 3.00 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in his past three starts, and it's unclear how long he's expected to be unavailable. Xzavion Curry is being called up from Triple-A Columbus to start Tuesday.

Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Cruises to 14th save

Guardians' Ben Lively: Fans seven in victory
Lively (3-2) earned the win over the Mets on Monday, allowing one run on six hits and no walks while striking out seven batters over 5.2 innings.
The only run Lively allowed in the outing came via a Tomas Nido solo homer in the third inning. Lively was otherwise excellent, matching a season high with seven punchouts and falling one out shy of recording a quality start. The right-hander is in the midst of the best season of his career, posting a 2.84 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 38:12 K:BB over 38 innings. Prior to this season Lively owned a 5.05 ERA across 208.2 career frames.

Guardians' Johnathan Rodriguez: Receives first major-league call-up
The Guardians recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Columbus on Monday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
He's taking the roster spot vacated by Ramon Laureano, who was designated for assignment. Rodriguez, 24, has slashed .276/.389/.449 with seven home runs and four stolen bases this season with Columbus. The Guardians have been desperate for production from any outfielder not named Steven Kwan this season, and Kwan is currently out with a hamstring injury, so it's possible Rodriguez will get a long look. He will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

Guardians' Ramon Laureano: Designated for assignment
Laureano was designated for assignment by the Guardians on Monday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Laureano has slashed just .143/.265/.229 with a 38.6 percent strikeout rate for Cleveland this season to earn a trip off the 40-man roster. He is sure to clear waivers given that he's making $5.15 million this season, and Laureano would also likely accept an outright assignment by the Guardians since declining one would mean forfeiting what remains of his salary.

Brennan went 1-for-4 with a three-run walk-off home run in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Twins.

The outfielder is hitting .254 (15-for-59) in May with four extra-base hits over 18 contests, though that's an improvement from earlier in the campaign. Brennan is slashing .231/.283/.396 with five homers, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored and two stolen bases over 145 plate appearances while seeing a majority of the playing time in right field.
