Guardians Elevate Allard to 40-Man, DFA Nikhazy

The Cleveland Guardians designated left-hander Doug Nikhazy for assignment to clear a 40-man spot for left-hander Kolby Allard, who was added to the 40-man roster. Colin Holderman was optioned to Triple-A Columbus to open space. Nikhazy, a 2021 second-round pick who posted a 3.90 ERA across 2022–24 but struggled in 2025, will go through waivers (48 hours) with a potential trade window. Allard, who posted a 2.63 ERA over 65 innings last year, provides bullpen/long-relief depth as the Guardians navigate a Dodgers series and possible starter fatigue after Tanner Bibee’s shoulder inflammation, with Bibee and Gavin Williams lined up for upcoming starts.

Guardians Tap Rhys Hoskins to Boost 2026 Lineup

Cleveland will select Rhys Hoskins’s contract to break camp and add the veteran first baseman on a 2026 salary of $1.5 million after signing a minor-league deal. Hoskins is expected to be the Guardians’ primary offensive addition as Cleveland looks to improve a lineup that struggled in 2025, while providing balance for a left-handed-heavy group and adding defensive value at first base following a rebound year in which he posted solid power after returning from a torn ACL.
