a rough stretch

Cooling off for real reasons. 2-4 in their last 7. Not the week they wanted. On top of that, a quiet 2.6 R/G from the lineup this week.

Guardians News

In a frustrating stretch, the Cleveland Guardians dropped their last game to the Milwaukee Brewers, further dampened by injuries to key players Chase DeLauter and Angel Martínez. DeLauter is dealing with a small rib fracture, leaving the team short on firepower as they struggle to score, averaging just 2.4 runs per game over the last week. Meanwhile, Martínez's foot fracture lands him on the injured list, forcing the Guardians to call up Petey Halpin from Triple-A. With a recent 2-4 record and a run differential of -14, the Guardians must find reinforcements, and the interest in Giants infielder Casey Schmitt as a potential José Ramírez replacement could offer some hope. As they navigate this tough patch, the Guardians need their pitching, led by Slade Cecconi, to absorb the pressure and keep them competitive.
