Matthew Boyd

CLE Starting Pitcher #16

Matthew Boyd (elbow) struck out seven and allowed one run (zero earned) over three innings on Tuesday in a minor league rehab start in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Boyd signed a minor league contract with the Guardians back in late June as he entered the final stages of his rehabilitation from last year’s Tommy John surgery. The 33-year-old southpaw figures to be an option for Cleveland as a versatile multi-inning relief weapon at some point in August.
Zak Kent

CLE Starting Pitcher #77

Guardians re-signed RHP Zak Kent to a minor league contract.

Kent was released earlier this month, but returns to the fold in Cleveland as extra organizational pitching depth. The 26-year-old righty, who hasn’t pitched in the minors since early April due to injury, hasn’t made an appearance for the Guardians since being acquired back in late March in a trade with the defending World Series champion Rangers.
Emmanuel Clase

CLE Relief Pitcher #48

Emmanuel Clase fired a scoreless ninth inning to collect the save during Tuesday’s MLB All-Star Game at Globe Life Field.

Clase was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the final frame of the Midsummer Classic and needed just 13 pitches (11 strikes) to preserve the victory. The hard-throwing 26-year-old right-hander made quite a statement in his third straight All-Star Game appearance, striking out Pete Alonso to open the frame before retiring Elly De La Cruz on a ground out to second base. Padres rookie Jackson Merrill managed to get on-base with an infield single before he struck out Bryan Reynolds to slam the door.
Travis Bazzana

CLE Second Baseman

Guardians selected Oregon State 2B Travis Bazzana with the No. 1 pick of the 2024 MLB Draft.

Not a huge surprise. A product of Australia, made an immediate impact at Oregon State and finished his junior campaign with a slash of .407/.568/.911 with 28 homers and 16 stolen bases. The left-handed hitting second baseman can make hard contact to all parts of the field with many believing he can finish with a 70-grade (on the 20-80 scouting scale) hit tool, and there’s above-average power and plus speed for good measure. He’s not considered a great defender, but he should be able to stick at second base and obviously the bat will play there. Bazzana has the talent to help in all categories, and he could be playing in the majors by this point next year.
Jose Ramirez

CLE Third Baseman #11

José Ramírez went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in a loss to the Rays on Sunday.

Ramírez was up in the ninth inning with two runners on, nobody out, and the Guardians down by two, but he popped up to the infield. The All-Star is now 11-for-51 in July (.216 average) with no home runs and just one RBI. It’s been a pretty brutal month, but there’s nothing much to do about it from a fantasy perspective. Ramírez is still having a solid all-around season, so you need to just keep him in your lineup and hope the All-Star break helps.
Ben Lively

CLE Starting Pitcher #39

Ben Lively allowed two runs on three hits in 5 1/3 innings in a loss to the Rays on Sunday.

Lively struck out seven and walked two on the day while inducing nine whiffs on 35 swings for a 26 percent whiff rate and 34 percent CSW. Unfortunately, he allowed solo home runs to Jose Siri and Brandon Lowe, and that was the difference. Lively has been a tremendous surprise for the Guardians, carrying a 3.58 ERA into the second half of the season. As of now, he’s scheduled to start on Saturday against the Padres next week.
Andres Gimenez

CLE Shortstop #0

Andres Gimenez went 2-for-4 with an RBI against the Rays on Saturday.

Gimenez is 12-for-41 (.292) with seven RBI in 12 games in July. He had an RBI single to score David Fry in the fifth inning. Gimenez is hitting .251 with a .643 OPS and 45 RBI on the season.
Jhonkensy Noel

CLE First Baseman #43

Jhonkensy Noel went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run against the Rays on Saturday.

Noel’s home run was his fourth of the season. He pinch hit in the eighth inning and hit a two-run shot off Garrett Cleavinger. Noel is hitting .257 with a .937 OPS in 35 at-bats for the Guardians this year. He remains an interesting player in deeper formats heading into the All-Star break.
Emmanuel Clase

CLE Relief Pitcher #48

Emmanuel Clase tossed a scoreless inning and picked up the save against the Rays on Saturday.

Clase’s save was his 29th of the season. He leads all American League relievers and trails only Ryan Helsley in saves this year. Clase’s 0.81 ERA only adds to the dominant season he’s having as one of the best relievers in fantasy baseball this year.
Gavin Williams

CLE Starting Pitcher #32

Gavin Williams allowed two runs (one earned) in five innings and got a no-decision in the Guardians’ 4-2 victory over the Rays on Saturday.

Williams gave up three hits, walked three and struck out two. Last season, Williams had a 3.29 ERA and 81 strikeouts in 82 innings. It’s only been three starts so far this year, but we haven’t seen the same kind of pitcher yet. Williams has a 3.77 ERA and nine strikeouts in 14 1/3 innings this year.
