  • Not in Wednesday's lineup
    Manzardo is absent from the lineup in Wednesday's game versus the Mets.

    Advice: In Jose Quintana, the Guardians are facing their second southpaw since Kyle Manzardo was promoted, and the left-handed hitting rookie has been on the bench for both of them. Jose Ramirez is getting a start at designated hitter Wednesday, with Gabriel Arias handling third base. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
  • In lineup, but losing work to RHPs
    Florial will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Though the lefty-hitting Florial is starting against a southpaw (Jose Quintana), the Guardians have seemingly pulled the plug on the 26-year-old being a regular part of the lineup versus right-handed pitching. Florial started just once while Cleveland opposed righty starters in each of the previous five contests. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
  • Heading to bench Wednesday
    Brennan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Brennan will head to the bench with southpaw Jose Quintana on the hill for the Mets. While Brennan sits, Johnathan Rodriguez will draw a second straight start in the Guardians outfield to wrap up the series versus the Mets after the rookie went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Tuesday's 7-6 win.

  • Walks it off Tuesday
    Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Giants.

    Advice: His second single of the night was clutch, as Gonzalez smacked a single up the middle on the first pitch he saw in the bottom of the 10th to bring home Michael Taylor as the phantom runner. Gonzalez took a while to adjust to the pros after being selected seventh overall in the 2020 Draft, but the 24-year-old seems to be coming into his own -- after erupting for a 1.039 OPS in 30 games for Triple-A Indianapolis prior to his promotion, he's produced a .282/.310/.462 slash line in 11 contests for Pittsburgh with two homers, one steal, five runs and nine RBI.

  • Heading to bench Wednesday
    Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Naylor started behind the dish in the first two games of the series, so he's likely just getting a breather as the Guardians and Mets wrap up their three-game set with an afternoon matchup. Austin Hedges will handle the catching duties for Cleveland. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
  • Day off versus left-hander
    Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: The Mets are starting left-hander Jose Quintana and the two teams are concluding the series with a day game after a night game, so it's a sensible spot for Guardians manager Stephen Vogt to give the left-handed-hitting Naylor a breather. David Fry will start at first base Wednesday in Naylor's stead. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
  • Nabs win in 10th
    Bednar (3-3) picked up the win Tuesday, striking out one in a perfect 10th inning during a 7-6 victory over the Giants.

    Advice: After the Pirates rallied for four runs in the ninth, Bednar got the call for the top of the 10th and set down three straight pinch hitters in Mike Yastrzemski, LaMonte Wade and Patrick Bailey. The right-hander then got rewarded when Nick Gonzalez walked it off by singling on the first pitch he saw in the bottom of the frame. Bednar has turned things around following a bumpy first month of the season, and over 10 appearances in May he's posted a 2.89 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB through 9.1 innings while converting all five of his save chances and chipping in two wins.

  • Shaky in no-decision
    Perez came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Giants, giving up four runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out four.

    Advice: The veteran southpaw threw only 56 of 98 pitches for strikes, but an Oneil Cruz error in the first inning helped soften the blow to Perez's ERA. He's completed six innings only once in his last seven starts, posting a 6.37 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 29:12 K:BB through 35.1 innings over that stretch, but Pittsburgh doesn't have many healthy alternatives for its rotation right now. Perez will try to turn things around in his next outing, which lines up to come at home this weekend against Atlanta. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
  • Carlos Santana gets day off versus Nationals
    Carlos Santana is on the bench Wednesday for the first time in two weeks.

    Advice: After the last time Santana didn’t start, he responded by going 7-for-16 with three homers in his next four games. Since then, though, he’s 4-for-27 with no extra-base hits, no RBI and one walk in seven games, leaving him at .201/.270/.365 for the season. At some point, the Twins are probably going to turn him into more of a platoon player against lefties. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago
