Jo Adell Finds His Fit with the Guardians, Path Less Taken

Guardians outfielder Jo Adell, once the Angels’ top prospect chasing others’ expectations, has reinvented himself in Cleveland. After a childhood in Louisville that steered him from football due to epilepsy and a multi-sport youth, Adell blossomed last season with the Angels and now helps lead the Guardians’ late-season push, highlighted by a two-doubles night against the Padres. Off the field, he runs the Jo Adell Foundation to mentor Black youth, including guiding Daylen Lile, embodying a journey from the “path less chosen” to postseason relevance in Cleveland through a recent trade deadline acquisition.

Guardians Move Cecconi to Bullpen, Promote Griffin to Start

Cleveland shuffled its pitching staff, moving Slade Cecconi from the rotation to the bullpen and promoting Foster Griffin to start in Thursday’s game vs. the Mets. Cecconi, who has a 4.78 ERA over 21 starts this year, will debut in relief for the team. In corresponding roster moves, the Guardians optioned Kyle Manzardo and David Fry to Triple-A Columbus and added Jo Adell and Nathaniel Lowe. Manzardo and Fry have underperformed this season, contributing to the decision to reshuffle and refresh the lineup and depth.

Guardians land left-handed DH Nathaniel Lowe in Reds trade

The Cleveland Guardians acquired Nathaniel Lowe from the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for Lake County right-hander Alejandro Rivera, adding a left-handed bat who is expected to platoon at DH with Rhys Hoskins and spell first base. Lowe is a rental for Cleveland; this year he’s posted a 120 wRC+ (137 vs RHP, -52 vs LHP) with career splits of 103 vs LHP and 123 vs RHP, shaping a lineup that leans on him at DH against right-handers and mixes in other options against lefties.

Guardians Pursue Controllable Lefty Braxton Garrett Ahead of Deadline

Cleveland is among the teams that have reached out to the Miami Marlins about left-hander Braxton Garrett, a controllable pitcher who has spent most of 2026 in Triple-A Jacksonville. Garrett, 29, had a breakout in 2022–23 but missed much of 2024–25 due to a UCL tear and has shown solid Triple-A numbers (2.90 ERA in 77⅔ innings, 26.4% strikeouts, 9.2% walks) this season. He’s arbitration-eligible for two more years at a projected $1.525M in 2026, and with the trade deadline looming, the Guardians are weighing him as rotation-depth option for 2027 amid likely competition from other clubs.

Guardians land Jo Adell in Angels trade, eye left-handed platoon role

The Cleveland Guardians acquired outfielder Jo Adell from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for catching prospect Jacob Cozart, hoping Adell’s power and strong left-handed splits help a lineup that struggles against lefties. He’s hitting .239/.287/.395 with 16 homers this season and could serve as a lefty-platoon option, potentially alongside Petey Halpin.

Cardinals shine in CBS Sports’ five-class 2026 MLB Draft ranking

CBS Sports ranks the five best classes from the 2026 MLB Draft: Chicago White Sox land the top class led by Roch Cholowsky with a strong supporting trio; Cleveland Guardians bolster their pitching depth with Liam Peterson and Logan Schmidt; Pittsburgh Pirates add solid long-term upside with Derek Curiel and Aiden Ruiz; St. Louis Cardinals assemble a deep, high-upside group around Trevor Condon and Tegan Kuhns; Tampa Bay Rays stockpile pitching talent led by Grady Emerson and Taj Marchand. The draft’s full impact will take years to evaluate, but the author’s favorite immediate group comes from St. Louis due to its breadth and upside.

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).

Guardians Call Up Watson as Offense Seeks Spark Amid Injury Wave

With multiple Guardians out injured, Kahlil Watson earns a long-awaited MLB debut. The 23-year-old left-handed hitter posted strong numbers in Columbus (123 wRC+, OPS over 1.00 in his hitter-friendly park) but carries questions about chasing and whiffs and has mixed reviews on defense. Cleveland hopes his bat can spark the lineup while evaluating other depth options in Columbus as they navigate a difficult stretch.

Guardians Lose Angel Martínez to Left-Foot Fracture, IL

Cleveland placed outfielder Angel Martínez on the 10-day injured list with a nondisplaced fracture in his left foot after fouling a pitch. Petey Halpin was recalled from Triple-A Columbus to take his spot. Martínez had shown power and was a team-leading homers leader, but recently slumped; with José Ramírez sidelined by a hamate fracture, Cleveland’s outfield depth remains thin and could prompt an upgrade before the trade deadline.

Guardians Place Jose Ramirez on IL with Hamate Fracture, Expected Month-Plus Absence

Guardians place Jose Ramirez on the injured list with a left hamate fracture, signaling an extended absence likely around a month after he exited Saturday's game. Ramirez, who has started every game this season and leads the AL with 24 steals while reaching 72 games, will be replaced by Daniel Schneemann at third with Kyle Manzardo moving to first and Rhys Hoskins sliding to left, as Cleveland fights to hold its division lead. Ramirez has previously dealt with hamate injuries, including a 2019 stint.
