Kahlil Watson is not in the Guardians’ starting lineup for Friday night’s divisional showdown against the White Sox.
Watson has been functioning as the Guardians’ primary cleanup hitter since arriving from Triple-A and has provided a much-needed boost to the team’s offense. He’ll get a breather with left-hander Anthony Kay on the mound on Friday night though. David Fry will start in left field and bat second for the Guardians.
