Joey Cantillo Joey Cantillo Posts quality start in no-decision
Tue, Apr 14, 2026, 11:12 PM
Cantillo did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings.
Analysis: Cantillo gave up a solo homer to Ivan Herrera after opening the game with a strikeout, and JJ Wetherholt also took him deep in the third, but the left-hander settled in nicely from there. He finished his outing with three scoreless frames and gave Cleveland his first quality start of the season. Cantillo has quietly been one of the more consistent starters early this season, allowing two or fewer runs in all four of his outings while piling up 24 strikeouts across 20.2 innings. The 26-year-old will look to keep rolling in his next scheduled start at home against a dangerous Baltimore lineup that ranks near the top of the league in several offensive categories. |

Analysis: Hoskins started the previous eight games and will head to the bench after going 5-for-29 (.172 average) with three doubles, a homer, four RBI and five runs during that span. Chase DeLauter is serving as the designated hitter Tuesday while George Valera picks up a start in the outfield. |

Martinez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-3 win over the Cardinals.

Brayan Rocchio Brayan Rocchio Homers in victory
Mon, Apr 13, 2026, 11:01 PM
Rocchio went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk against St. Louis in a 9-3 win Monday.
Analysis: Rocchio gave the Guardians a 6-1 lead with a two-run blast to left field in the sixth inning. He reached base a season-high three times and finished with his first multi-hit game since Opening Day. Rocchio had been in a 3-for-25 slump over his past eight games entering Monday, so he'll look to ride the big performance to a turnaround. |

Jose Ramirez Jose Ramirez Swipes two bags in victory
Mon, Apr 13, 2026, 10:56 PM
Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, a run and two stolen bases Monday in a 9-3 win against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Ramirez helped generate a run in the fourth inning when he walked, stole second base and came home on a single. The star third baseman added another theft following a single in the fifth. Ramirez began the campaign hitting .133 through his first 12 games, but he seems to be turning things around. Over his past five contests, he has gone 7-for-20 (.350 batting average) with two doubles, a homer, two RBI, four walks and five steals. |

Gavin Williams Gavin Williams Notches second victory
Mon, Apr 13, 2026, 10:45 PM
Williams (2-1) earned the win over St. Louis on Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four batters over five-plus innings.
Analysis: Williams was tagged for a run in the first inning but didn't allow another until serving up a leadoff homer to Jordan Walker in the sixth. Though he wasn't overly efficient, needing 93 pitches to complete five-plus frames, Williams pitched more than well enough to notch the win on a day when Cleveland gave him nine runs of support. The righty hurler began the campaign by giving up three runs over five innings in a loss, but since then Williams has surrendered just three earned runs across 17.2 frames spanning three starts. On the season, he has a 2.38 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 29:16 K:BB over 22.2 innings. |

Mon, Apr 13, 2026, 4:01 PM
Naylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Naylor will hit the bench for a third straight game and for the fifth time in six contests while the Guardians face another lefty starter (Matthew Liberatore). He'll be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitters Chase DeLauter, Kyle Manzardo and George Valera. |

Mon, Apr 13, 2026, 3:56 PM
The Guardians designated Allard for assignment Monday.
Analysis: Allard has been touched up for 10 runs over 8.2 innings in a mop-up role out of the Guardians bullpen. He will have the option to elect free agency if he passes through waivers. |
|
CJ Kayfus CJ Kayfus Moving to Triple-A
Mon, Apr 13, 2026, 3:54 PM
The Guardians optioned Kayfus to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.
Analysis: Kayfus has slashed just .182/.280/.364 in nine games this season and has played sparingly lately, so he will head to Columbus where he can get more regular reps. George Valera (calf) was reinstated from the injured list and will take Kayfus' spot on the active roster. |
|
Hunter Gaddis Hunter Gaddis Back from injured list
Mon, Apr 13, 2026, 3:51 PM
The Guardians activated Gaddis (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
Analysis: Gaddis allowed five runs over 4.1 rehab innings with Triple-A Columbus, but the Guardians believe he's ready to help their bullpen despite those results. Though he filled a high-leverage role for Cleveland in 2025, Gaddis could be eased into such situations initially this season. |
|
George Valera George Valera Returns from injured list
Mon, Apr 13, 2026, 3:46 PM
The Guardians activated Valera (calf) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Analysis: Out since Opening Day with a left calf strain, Valera slashed .294/.325/.500 with two home runs and a 3:3 BB:K in eight rehab games with Triple-A Columbus. Valera will likely push Angel Martinez for playing time in the outfield, though manager Stephen Vogt could stick with Martinez for the time being while the latter is swinging a hot bat. Valera will be on the bench Monday for the Guardians' series opener versus the Cardinals. |

Kyle Manzardo Kyle Manzardo Absent from starting lineup
Mon, Apr 13, 2026, 3:39 PM
Manzardo is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in St. Louis.
Analysis: The Guardians are facing a lefty for the sixth time in their last eight games, and Manzardo has been out of the lineup for five of those tilts versus southpaws. Rhys Hoskins will play first base and David Fry will serve as the designated hitter against Matthew Liberatore. |
|
Chase DeLauter Chase DeLauter Sitting out against left-hander
Mon, Apr 13, 2026, 3:34 PM
DeLauter is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in St. Louis.
Analysis: The left-handed-hitting DeLauter was in the lineup each of the last three times the Guardians faced a left-hander, but he'll take a seat Monday as the Cardinals send southpaw Matthew Liberatore to the bump. Angel Martinez will start in right field and bat second for Cleveland. |

Daniel Schneemann Daniel Schneemann Records three hits in loss
Mon, Apr 13, 2026, 7:44 AM
Schneemann started in center field and went 3-for-4 with two doubles in Sunday's 13-1 loss to Atlanta.
Analysis: With Steven Kwan getting a rare day off, Schneemann entered the lineup for the first time in a week. He'd been getting regular opportunities over the first week of the season, but the hot-hitting Angel Martinez and the call-up of prospect Juan Brito reduced Schneeman's plate appearances as an outfielder or at second base. He's batting .265 (9-for-34) with six doubles, four RBI, one steal and four runs scored over 12 games played. |

Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 10:09 PM
Bibee (0-2) took the loss Sunday, allowing eight runs on 11 hits and a walk over 4.2 innings in a 13-1 loss to Atlanta. He struck out four.
Analysis: Bibee was hit hard, allowing multiple runs in the second, third and fifth innings before being lifted. The right-hander entered Sunday's contest with a 3.29 ERA and 1.32 WHIP through his first three starts, but those numbers have now ballooned to a 6.38 ERA and 1.64 WHIP across 18.1 innings. His next start is projected to come Friday against Baltimore. |

Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 3:30 PM
Kayfus is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Analysis: Kayfus will hit the bench for a fourth consecutive game, with the Guardians having faced three lefties and one righty during that stretch. The 24-year-old looks like he'll have to settle for a limited role as a fourth outfielder and backup first baseman with the hot-hitting Angel Martinez having taken control of a regular spot in the lineup. |

Steven Kwan Steven Kwan Exiting starting nine Sunday
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 3:27 PM
Kwan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Analysis: Kwan will hit the bench for the first time all season after making 15 straight starts to kick off the campaign. Angel Martinez will draw a start in left field and will be replace Kwan as the Guardians' leadoff hitter in the series finale in Atlanta. |

Analysis: Kwan had a five-game hit streak snapped Saturday, but he managed to contribute to the offense. He walked, stole second base and scored during Cleveland's three-run ninth inning. It was the second steal of the season for the outfielder, who stole 21 bases (caught five times) in the 2025 regular season. Kwan is slashing .246/.338/.333 with three extra-base hits, seven walks, four RBI and eight runs through 15 games. |

Analysis: Gaddis made five appearances during his assignment with Columbus, covering 4.1 innings while allowing five earned runs on six hits and three walks.
