Rotoworld Player News

Austin Hedges

CLE Catcher #27

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Austin Hedges will have X-rays on Tuesday after leaving Monday’s game with a hand injury.

Hedges was hit on the right hand by a pitch. If he needs to on the IL, the Guardians could bring back Jonathan Rodriguez or Petey Halpin. They already have David Fry to use as their backup catcher.
Chase DeLauter

CLE Right Fielder #24

Chase DeLauter hit two homers, walked and scored three runs in the Guardians’ 7-0 win over the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Putting a little exclamation point on his spring, DeLauter is now up to .459/.535/.838 in 43 plate appearances. He’s probably about as weak of a bet to remain healthy as any position player in the league, but from a performance standpoint, he’s looking like a strong Rookie of the Year candidate.
Slade Cecconi

CLE Starting Pitcher #44

Facing his former team, Slade Cecconi tossed four scoreless innings in a victory over the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Cecconi, who had a 33% CSW in his 57-pitch outing tonight, closes out the spring with a 1.62 ERA and a 16/5 K/BB in 16 2/3 innings. He’ll take on the Mariners in Seattle on Sunday.
Joey Cantillo

CLE Relief Pitcher #54

Joey Cantillo struck out six over four scoreless innings in earning a save Monday against the Diamonbdbacks.

Cantillo officially secured his rotation spot when the Guardians sent down Logan Allen, and he’ll make his season debut Sunday against the Mariners. He offers mixed-league upside, but he seems more like an AL-only guy initially.
Gavin Williams

CLE Starting Pitcher #32

Gavin Williams held the Reds to one run through five innings in the Guardians’ 8-2 victory Sunday.

An efficient Williams got 15 outs with 64 pitches today, never throwing more than 17 in an inning. He ends the spring 2-1 with a 4.58 ERA and a 19/2 K/BB in 17 2/3 innings, and he’ll make his first regular-season start Friday in Seattle. Last year, he was 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA in his two starts against the Mariners.
Chase DeLauter

CLE Right Fielder #24

Chase DeLauter went 2-for-2 with a double, two RBI and a walk Sunday versus the Reds.

The 24-year-old DeLauter is sitting at .429/.500/.657 with a 4/5 K/BB in 40 plate appearances. He’s made eight of his nine starts in the field in right, so it looks like that’ll be his primary spot in the regular season. He’ll probably wind up seeing a fair amount of time against lefties, given the makeup of the rest of the Guardians’ roster. It would have made sense for the Guardians to keep Stuart Fairchild to supplement him versus southpaws, but another lefty, CJ Kayfus, seems poised to get that spot.
Angel Martínez

CLE Center Fielder #1

Angel Martinez hit his fourth spring homer Sunday against the Reds.

Martinez, one of the AL’s worst players in hitting .224/.269/.359 in 484 plate appearances and playing below average outfield defense last season, is going to make the Guardians and might be in line for quite a bit of time initially with George Valera on the IL. He’s hit .350/.395/.850 this spring, with an average EV up about seven mph from last year’s mark of 97.1 mph. It might be a good sign, but he’s still only an option in deep AL-only leagues right now.
Rhys Hoskins

CLE 1st Baseman #12

Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that Rhys Hoskins has made the Guardians’ Opening Day roster.

The Guardians will have to add Hoskins to the 40-man roster, as he was signed as a non-roster invite this winter. The 33-year-old will make $1.5 million, and likely be in the lineup against left-handed pitching to open the 2026 season as a first baseman and designated hitter.
Pedro Avila

CLE Relief Pitcher #60

Guardians re-signed RHP Pedro Avila to a minor league contract.

The 29-year-old hurler was released earlier in the week as he asked to explore other opportunities, but he ultimately decided that returning to the Guardians made the most sense for him. He’ll begin the season as extra bullpen depth at Triple-A Columbus.
Codi Heuer

CLE Relief Pitcher #54

Guardians selected the contract of RHP Codi Heuer from Triple-A Columbus and optioned him to Triple-A Columbus.

The 29-year-old hurler earns a spot on the team’s 40-man roster, but he doesn’t win a spot in the club’s Opening Day bullpen. He’ll start out the season as extra depth at the Triple-A level and should be the next man up when the Guardians need a fresh arm.
