Guardians Activate Top Prospect DeLauter, Bolstering Their Bad-Hitting Lineup
The Cleveland Guardians activated outfielder Chase DeLauter from the injured list after a rib fracture, with DeLauter batting third as the designated hitter as Petey Halpin was optioned to Triple-A. DeLauter, a top prospect, has hit .263/.337/.408 with 7 homers in 270 plate appearances this season, and his return could help an offense currently around 90 wRC+ and 43-40 overall as the team pursues a playoff berth (FanGraphs ~56% postseason odds).
