Report: Guardians calling up Angel Genao

Angel Genao

CLE Shortstop #73

Player Stats

The Guardians are promoting top prospect Angel Genao from Triple-A Columbus, according to MLB.com’s Tim Stebbins.

It certainly seems like franchise cornerstone José Ramírez is headed back to the injured list with inflammation in his surgically repaired left wrist. However, that hasn’t been confirmed. Genao is an interesting prospect because he’s adept at making contact, makes excellent swing decisions and boasts slightly above-average pop. The 22-year-old switch-hitting infielder launched two homers during Tuesday’s contest at Triple-A Columbus and is hitting .300/.401/.474 with 13 round-trippers and 11 steals in 96 games in the upper minors this season. He’ll presumably get the call for Wednesday’s contest against the Mets as Cleveland continues to push even more metaphorical chips into the center of the table in an effort to win the AL Central. Genao is worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats based on his talent alone.

José Ramírez

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

José Ramírez drove in five runs, doubled three times and stolen a base to help the Guardians to an 8-6 extra-inning win over the Angels on Tuesday.

Ramírez’s final double was in the 10th inning to score a pair, and it gave Cleveland an 8-6 lead and ultimately the victory. The stolen base is the 30th of the season for the perennial MVP candidate. Because of injury and inconsistent play, he won’t be in those discussions this year, but Tuesday showed that he’s nowhere close to done being an impactful player.
José Ramírez

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

José Ramírez is not in the Guardians’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s battle against the Rockies.

The 33-year-old superstar will get a rare day off in this one, which is very unfortunate for fantasy managers as they’re at Coors Field and taking on right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano. Expect to see him off the bench if needed on Sunday. Angel Genao will start in his place at third base and bat fifth for the Guardians.
Brayan Rocchio

CLE Shortstop #4

Brayan Rocchio is on the bench for a second straight game Saturday against the Rockies.

Prior to Friday, Rocchio had received just one day off since the break and had started 122 of 128 games this season. Tonight, though, he again finds himself on the bench in favor of Angel Genao at shortstop. Rocchio has hit .183/.230/.270 during the second half, lowering his overall OPS from .750 to .685.
José Ramírez

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

José Ramírez went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored and an RBI against the Padres on Saturday.

Ramírez was 12-for-61 (.197) with 11 runs, four RBI and five steals in 18 games since returning from the injured list entering play Saturday. The 33-year-old third baseman got the day off Friday and came back with a strong day at the plate Saturday. Ramírez had a double and scored in the first inning and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. Ramírez is hitting .232 with a .717 OPS and 38 RBI on the year.
José Ramírez

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

José Ramírez is not in the Guardians starting lineup for Friday’s game against the Padres.

Ramírez is drawing walks but has just two hits over his last four games since his last day off on Saturday. With Angel Genao up and Travis Bazanna and Brayan Rocchio playing well, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Guardians continued to give Ramírez more rest than usual. Genao is in there against RHP Michael King today.
Travis Bazzana

CLE 2nd Baseman #87

Travis Bazzana is on the bench against left-hander Framber Valdez in Wednesday’s game versus the Tigers.

Bazzana has sat against two of the three lefties the Guardians have faced since the callup of Angel Genao, who is playing second base and batting seventh tonight. It seems like it’ll be a trend unless an injury opens up more time for Genao at other positions. Bazzana is hitting just .192/.302/.240 against southpaws thus far.
Angel Genao

CLE 3rd Baseman #17

Angel Genao is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Tigers.

Genao takes a seat with Travis Bazzana at the keystone and Brayan Rocchio at shortstop. The 22-year-old top prospect has made some serious waves, hitting .368 (7-for-19) with one homer and two RBI in five games since being promoted from Triple-A Columbus last week. He boasts impressive contact skills and has shown some impressive over-the-fence pop over the last few months. He’s seeing the ball extremely well at the moment and should be rostered in all fantasy formats, even if he’s going to cede the occasional start to Bazzana at second base when Rocchio is in the lineup.
José Ramírez

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

José Ramírez went 2-for-3 with a sacrifice fly, two RBI, a walk and a stolen base in Sunday’s loss to the White Sox.

Ramírez singled in a run in the first inning prior to the rain delay. He later came up as the tying run in the ninth inning and flew out to center field to drive in a run. Rhys Hoskins followed with a fly out of his own to end it. The Guardians have lost seven out of their last nine games and Ramírez has really struggled during this stretch while dealing with wrist inflammation, but hopefully Sunday is the start of a turnaround. This was his first multi-hit game since July 29.
Angel Genao

CLE 3rd Baseman #17

Angel Genao went 2-for-3 with a homer, but the Guardians fell 6-3 to the White Sox on Saturday.

Genao has impressed since being called up Wednesday, and while it comes in a losing effort, the 22-year-old was able to collect his first MLB homer with a solo homer off Jordan Hicks in the seventh inning. It’s a small sample, but one that contains a slash of .438/.471/.625. Obviously that’s not sustainable, but it’s a pretty good indicator of the talent that Genao possesses. The question will be how he’ll adjust when the league does the same.
José Ramírez

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

José Ramírez is being rested Saturday against the White Sox.

Ramírez played the last two days after missing games Tuesday and Wednesday with left wrist inflammation, but three straight is too much right now, apparently. Angel Genao is playing third base tonight, and Travis Bazzana, who figures to do more sitting against lefties with Genao up, remains at second base versus southpaw Anthony Kay.

Landen Roupp limited the D-backs to one run over five innings in the Giants’ 6-1 win Thursday.

Roupp was too inefficient to pull off a quality start, but he did get his first win since July 17. This does make six straight outings in which he’s failed to complete six innings. He’ll take an 8-13 record and a 4.25 ERA into his next start against the Pirates.

Jose Cabrera yielded two runs in 4 1/3 innings Thursday in a loss to the Giants.

This looked like it might be a very short outing from Cabrera after he got a visit from the pitching coach in the first, but he did at least manage to get 13 outs. It took him 30 pitches to get the first three and then only 40 more for the remaining 10. If Cabrera sticks around after this, he’ll likely face the Phillies next Wednesday. The D-backs hope to get Michael Soroka back after that.

Drew Gilbert hit a leadoff homer and drove in a second run with a sac fly Thursday against the D-backs.

Gilbert’s homer to one of the deepest parts of Oracle Park checked in 407 feet. He’s hit a solid .243/.324/.392 in 329 plate appearances, but it sure would be nice if he offered any baserunning value at all; he’s 1-for-5 stealing bases this year.

Gabriel Moreno homered for the Diamondbacks’ only run Thursday against the Giants.

Moreno is up to .303/.383/.471 through 105 games, and he’s pretty clearly been one of baseball’s top three catchers this year. The potential has always been there if he could stay healthy, and though his durability is still in question, he’s a legitimate star right now.

HOU Shortstop #3

X-rays on the injured hand of Astros’ shortstop Jeremy Peña came back negative for any fractures on Thursday.

Astros’ fans and fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief. Peña was hit on the knuckles of both his pinkie and ring finger on his left hand with a 96-mph fastball from Gerrit Cole. While he’s dealing with a bit of swelling and soreness, he shouldn’t require any sort of extended absence from the lineup. He’s considered day-to-day.

Jackson Chourio went 4-for-5 with a pair of homers, four RBI four runs scored and a stolen base as the Brewers crushed the Mets 8-2 on Thursday evening.

Chourio led off the game by lining the first pitch Sean Manaea threw for a leadoff single. He then raced around to score the game’s first run on an RBI single by Andrew Vaughn. The 22-year-old outfielder then clubbed a 389-foot (104.2-mph EV) two-run shot on a first-pitch fastball in the second that extended the Brewers’ lead to 4-0. He also started the fifth inning with a single, swiped second base and scored on a ground out off the bat of William Contreras. Chourio finished his glorious night with a 380-foot (102.8-mph EV) two-run shot off of Xzavion Curry in the eighth that capped off the scoring in the game. He’s now slashing a healthy .283/.345/.477 with 19 homers, 54 RBI and 14 stolen bases in 447 plate appearances on the year.

Ortiz led off the sixth inning with a triple off of left-hander Sean Manaea then scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Cooper Pratt. He also singled in the ballgame. The 28-year-old infielder is having a solid, if unspectacular season at the plate, slashing .250/.316/.382 with seven homers, 38 RBI and nine stolen bases across 336 plate appearances.

Jacob Misiorowski picked up his 14th victory of the season on Thursday evening, limiting the Mets to two runs on just two hits over six strong innings.

Misiorowski punched out six batters on the night while issuing a pair of walks. All of the damage done against him came in the fifth inning as Jared Young smacked an RBI double and scored on an RBI single off the bat of Christopher Morel. The 24-year-old right-hander generated 12 swings and misses on 89 pitches in the ballgame — half of those on his fastball — while posting a CSW of 26 percent. Now 14-5 on the season, he’ll carry a pristine 1.73 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and a 222/35 K/BB ratio (151 innings) into Wednesday’s divisional showdown against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
