Shane Bieber

CLE Starting Pitcher #57

Shane Bieber limited the Reds to one run in six innings and struck out seven in the Guardians’ 4-3 victory Wednesday.

This is a nice way to end a disappointing season. Bieber gave up 11 hard-hit balls tonight, but he allowed just five hits, none of them homers. He finishes up 6-6 with a 3.80 ERA in 21 starts. It’s possible the Guardians will look to trade him this winter, though his value is far lower than it’s been in the past. He’ll likely make $12 million-$14 million in his final season of arbitration next year.
Gabriel Arias

CLE Shortstop #13

Guardians placed INF Gabriel Arias on the 10-day injured list with a right wrist fracture.

Arias was injured when he was hit by a pitch Saturday, though he did play and strike out twice last night. Arias ends the year at .210/.275/.352 in 345 PA. He had 25/1 K/BB ratio in 20 games this month and was at 113/28 for the year. Arias has some pop and is a legitimate shortstop, but one wonders if he would have been better served by spending this year in Triple-A.
Brayan Rocchio

CLE Shortstop #6

Guardians recalled SS Brayan Rocchio from Triple-A Columbus.

While he’s definitely struggled in his limited opportunities to date, Rocchio probably should have finished out the season as the Guardians’ shortstop once Amed Rosario was traded. The 22-year-old ended up at .280/.367/.421 in 537 PA in Triple-A. With none of the youngsters having stepped up yet, it’ll be interesting to see if the Guardians add a stopgap for short in the offseason.
Bo Naylor

CLE Catcher #23

Bo Naylor went 1-for-3 with three RBI in a loss to the Reds Tuesday night.

Naylor crushed an 86 MPH slider from Hunter Greene 375 feet over the right field wall, giving the Guardians a three-run lead. Sadly, in a wild back-and-forth game, Cleveland would come out of the other side with the loss. The 23-year-old catcher is having a decent rookie campaign, hitting .238/.344/.460 across 221 plate appearances.
Lucas Giolito

CLE Starting Pitcher #24

Lucas Giolito surrendered five runs over 3 1/3 innings on Tuesday against the Reds but didn’t factor into the decision.

Giolito allowed four hits, but all four went for extra bases. The lone hit that didn’t fly over the fence was a run-scoring triple in the top of the third. He was removed from the game after allowing his third homer of the night and two walks in the top of the fourth inning. Giolito has mostly likely made his last start of the season, and what a rough one it was. The 29-year-old spent time on three different ballclubs and finished with a 4.77 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and 200/69 K/BB ratio over 179 1/3 innings. The 29-year-old will be a free agent this winter.
Bo Naylor

CLE Catcher #23

Bo Naylor (thumb) has returned to the Guardians’ lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Reds.

Naylor is back behind the dish and batting eighth on Tuesday night after sitting out a pair of contests over the weekend following an early exit from Friday’s contest against the Orioles with a right thumb contusion.
Triston McKenzie

CLE Starting Pitcher #24

Triston McKenzie walked six while allowing three runs in 1 2/3 innings Sunday against the Orioles in his return from the IL.

Just 19 of McKenzie’s 52 pitches went for strikes. His velocity was also down some from both his usual norm and from his second rehab start last week, so it was a particularly discouraging day for the 26-year-old. McKenzie, who had been out with a sprained elbow ligament, was making his first MLB appearance in 3 1/2 months.
Bo Naylor

CLE Catcher #23

Bo Naylor (thumb) is not in the Guardians’ starting lineup for Sunday’s contest against the Orioles.

The young backstop will miss his second game in a row after suffering a contusion on his right thumb. David Fry will handle catching duties on Sunday, and fantasy managers should consider Naylor day-to-day for now.
Triston McKenzie

CLE Starting Pitcher #24

Guardians activated RHP Triston McKenzie from the 60-day injured list.

McKenzie gave up three runs in his final minor league rehab start on Tuesday. His velocity was right in line with career norms, but he struggled to find the feel for his breaking pitches. He faces a tough matchup Sunday when he faces the Orioles but could pitch in the final game of the season against the Tigers next Sunday.
Tanner Bibee

CLE Starting Pitcher #61

Guardians transferred RHP Tanner Bibee to the 60-day injured list.

The move is procedural in nature as the 24-year-old was expected to miss the reminder of the season with a right hip injury. The right-hander had an excellent rookie campaign, posting an elite 2.98 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 141/45 K/BB ratio over 142 innings. He should be ready to go once spring training begins in February.
