Parker Messick Parker Messick Allows three unearned runs
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 10:24 PM
Messick was charged with the loss in Game 2 of the ALCS against the Rays on Tuesday, giving up three unearned runs on six hits with three strikeouts and two walks across five innings.
Analysis: Tampa Bay scored all three of its runs during the fourth inning, when a Jose Ramirez error extended the frame to break a scoreless tie. Messick certainly wasn't at his best as he threw just 47 of 82 pitches for strikes while putting on nine baserunners, but he was able to work around the traffic outside of the fourth inning. He's taken the loss in two of his three postseason outings while surrendering seven runs (four earned) with an 14:8 K:BB over 11.2 frames. Messick tentatively lines up to make his next start in Game 6, should it be necessary. |
Patrick Bailey Patrick Bailey Taking seat in Game 2
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 3:21 PM
Bailey is not in the lineup Tuesday for Game 2 of the ALCS against the Rays.
Analysis: Bailey cranked a solo home run as part of a two-hit effort in the Guardians' Game 1 victory, but he will retreat to the bench in Game 2. Austin Hedges has been Parker Messick's personal catcher this season, and that will continue with Hedges getting the start Tuesday. |
Chase DeLauter Chase DeLauter Scores thrice in Game 1
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 12:02 PM
DeLauter went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a solo homer and two additional runs scored in Game 1 of the ALCS against the Rays on Monday.
Analysis: The rookie outfielder went 0-for-4 in his playoff debut versus the White Sox in Game 1 of the ALDS, but he's now collected at least one hit in five straight games. DeLauter broke the seal for Cleveland on Monday with his sixth-inning solo shot, and he came around to score after doubling in the eighth and working a walk in the ninth. Through his first six postseason games, the 25-year-old is batting .333 with three walks, two extra-base hits, three RBI and five runs. |
Foster Griffin Foster Griffin Covers four frames in series opener
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 11:55 AM
Griffin didn't factor in the decision in Game 1 of the ALCS against the Rays on Monday, giving up two runs on five hits with three strikeouts and no walks over four innings.
Analysis: The left-hander was called upon to start the series opener and did a serviceable job for Cleveland, firing three scoreless innings after surrendering a pair of runs in the first. Griffin followed an opener during his playoff debut in the ALDS and has given up three earned runs with a 10:0 K:BB across 6.2 frames in his first two postseason appearances. He tentatively lines up to take the mound for Game 5 in Cleveland. |
Angel Martinez Angel Martinez Out of lineup again in Game 1
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 3:08 PM
Martinez is not in the lineup Monday for Game 1 of the ALCS versus the Rays.
Analysis: Martinez started in left field in the Guardians' first four postseason games but went 0-for-15 at the plate. He has since been out of the lineup for two consecutive contests. Cleveland will go with Steven Kwan in left field and Petey Halpin in center field Monday. |
Slade Cecconi Slade Cecconi Added to roster for ALCS
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 9:44 AM
Cecconi has been added to the Guardians' roster for the ALCS, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: The Guardians have opted for another bullpen arm with Cecconi over utility player Daniel Schneemann. Cecconi has not pitched in a game in more than two weeks but offers the club some length, if needed. |
Daniel Schneemann Daniel Schneemann Loses roster spot for ALCS
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 9:30 AM
Scheemann is absent from the Guardians' roster for the ALCS, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Foster Griffin Foster Griffin Starting ALCS Game 1
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 5:53 PM
Griffin will start Game 1 of the ALCS against the Rays on Monday, Nick Camino of WKYC Channel 3 Cleveland reports.
Analysis: Griffin will take the mound for the series opener after tossing 2.2 innings, allowing one run on two hits while striking out seven batters in Game 3 of the ALDS against Chicago. The southpaw threw 53 total pitches (39 strikes) in his last outing, and he will likely be operating under a similar workload Monday in Tampa Bay. |
Gavin Williams Gavin Williams Fans 12 in series clincher
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 9:06 AM
Williams earned the win in Game 5 of the ALDS against the White Sox on Saturday, striking out 12 and allowing one hit and two walks across 5.2 scoreless innings.
Analysis: Williams took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, but he was unable to complete that frame after loading the bases via a hit-by-pitch, a single and a walk. Still, it was a dominant performance from the right-hander, who helped the Guardians set an MLB record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game -- both regular season and playoffs -- with 21, per Sarah Langs of MLB.com. Williams made two starts and one relief appearance during the ALDS, punching out 24 with a 1.54 ERA and 0.94 WHIP over 11.2 innings. He now tentatively lines up to start Games 3 and 7 of the ALCS against the Rays, but manager Stephen Vogt has already shown he's willing to utilize his starter pitchers flexibly this postseason. |
Jose Ramirez Jose Ramirez Powers CLE to ALCS
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 8:41 AM
Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk during Game 5 of the ALCS against the White Sox on Saturday.
Analysis: The veteran third baseman golfed a two-run homer during the fourth inning for the only runs of the game to help complete the Guardians' comeback from a 2-0 series deficit. Just like Cleveland, Ramirez had a slow start to the ALDS and was hitless in the first two games, but he responded by going 5-for-12 with four extra-base hits, seven RBI and five runs over the final three contests of the series. |

Angel Martinez Angel Martinez On bench to begin Game 5
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 3:32 PM
Martinez isn't in the lineup for Game 5 of the ALDS against the White Sox on Saturday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Martinez will retreat to the bench Saturday after going 0-for-15 to begin the Guardians' postseason run. Steven Kwan will shift to left field as a result, allowing Petey Halpin to start in center. |
|
Gavin Williams Gavin Williams Confirmed for Game 5 start
Fri, Oct 9, 2026, 3:26 PM
Williams will start Game 5 of the ALDS versus the White Sox on Saturday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Williams finished out the Guardians' Game 4 victory Thursday, throwing 18 pitches in a scoreless inning on what would have typically been his bullpen day. That appearance will not, however, prevent him from starting Saturday's winner-take-all contest. Williams struck out 11 and was charged with two runs over five-plus innings in Game 2, taking a no-decision. He will be opposed by Sean Burke in Game 5. |
|
Patrick Bailey Patrick Bailey Absent from Game 4 lineup
Thu, Oct 8, 2026, 3:36 PM
Bailey is not in the lineup Thursday for Game 4 of the ALDS against the White Sox.
Analysis: Austin Hedges has caught Parker Messick regularly this season and will do so again in Game 4. Bailey is 3-for-9 with a 1:2 BB:K at the plate so far this postseason, while Hedges is hitless in two plate appearances. |

Foster Griffin Foster Griffin Fans seven in playoff debut
Wed, Oct 7, 2026, 10:28 PM
Griffin didn't factor into the decision in Game 3 of the ALDS against the White Sox on Wednesday, giving up a run on two hits with seven strikeouts and no walks over 2.2 innings.
Analysis: The left-hander entered behind opener Daniel Espino and struck out seven of the 11 batters he faced, but he was pulled with one out in the fourth inning after throwing 53 pitches (39 strikes). It was the playoff debut for Griffin, who made 31 starts as a rookie for Cleveland and Washington this year, posting a combined 3.60 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 158:45 K:BB across 172.2 regular-season innings. Given his workload, the 31-year-old Griffin likely won't be available for Game 4 on Thursday, but he should be good to go for Game 5 on Saturday, should Cleveland stave off elimination again. |
Jo Adell Jo Adell Collects three RBI
Wed, Oct 7, 2026, 10:26 PM
Adell went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple and three RBI in Game 3 of the ALDS against the White Sox on Wednesday.
Analysis: After striking out in all four of his at-bats during the series opener Saturday -- which was his postseason debut -- Adell has responded by going 3-for-7 with two triples and four RBI in the past two contests. The 27-year-old came to the plate Wednesday with the bases loaded and two outs during the third inning, and he cleared the bases with a triple to give Cleveland a lead it would not relinquish while facing elimination. |

Jose Ramirez Jose Ramirez Stuffs stat sheet in Game 3
Wed, Oct 7, 2026, 10:22 PM
Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a triple, a stolen base, two RBI and two runs during the Guardians' 9-3 win against the White Sox in Game 3 of the ALDS on Wednesday.
Analysis: The veteran third baseman walked and scored during Cleveland's four-run third inning, then he doubled, stole third and scored in the fifth before providing some insurance runs in the eighth with a two-RBI triple. Ramirez went 0-for-6 with two walks, a run and three strikeouts in the first two games of the series, but he broke out in a big way Wednesday to help the Guardians stave off elimination. |
Daniel Espino Daniel Espino Serving as opener in Game 3
Tue, Oct 6, 2026, 4:00 PM
Espino will be the Guardians' opener Wednesday in Game 3 of the ALDS against the White Sox, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: He'll be opposed by another opener in Chicago's Sean Newcomb. Espino logged a 4.11 ERA and 25:7 K:BB over 15.1 innings for the Guardians during the regular season, and he made a scoreless appearance for the White Sox in Game 1 of the ALDS. The Guardians haven't divulged plans for who will follow Espino, but Foster Griffin is a prime candidate for a bulk role if Cleveland wants to go that route. |

Gavin Williams Gavin Williams Punches out 11 in Game 2
Mon, Oct 5, 2026, 10:24 PM
Williams didn't factor into the decision in Game 2 of the ALDS against the White Sox on Monday. He struck out 11 and gave up two runs on four hits and three walks.
Analysis: After firing a clean top of the first frame, the Guardians handed Williams a 2-0 lead, which he maintained through five innings. The right-hander was pulled at 98 pitches (59 strikes) after surrendering a leadoff single to begin the sixth, and that runner came around to score as Chicago took a 3-2 advantage in the frame. Williams now lines up to start a potential Game 5, but Cleveland will need to win the next two games on the road to get there. |

Advincula (elbow) was activated from the 7-day injured list Sept. 17.
Analysis: Advincula hit the injured list Aug. 11 due to a right elbow strain, and he wasn't able to return before the end of the season. He logged nine games at Double-A Akron but ended the 2026 season at High-A Lakeland, where he hit .239 with one homer, 14 RBI, 14 stolen bases and 16 runs in 19 appearances. |
Colin Holderman Colin Holderman Slated for wrist surgery
Thu, Oct 1, 2026, 11:36 AM
Holderman will undergo season-ending surgery on his right wrist, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Holderman's wrist problems originally surfaced four years ago and flared up on him during the second half of this season. He will not pitch for the Guardians during the postseason but should be recovered in time for spring training. Holderman posted a 1.78 ERA and 39:11 K:BB over 35.1 innings in the first half of the season, but he stumbled to a 4.67 ERA and 11:9 K:BB over 17.1 frames after the All-Star break. |
