Tyler Freeman

CLE Shortstop #2

Tyler Freeman slugged a three-run home run on Friday night in Motwon, powering the Guardians to a 7-5 victory over the Tigers.

Freeman victimized Tigers’ starter Joey Wentz for his 415-foot three-run bomb in the third inning — extending the Guardians’ early lead to 6-2. He also singled in the contest, finishing the night 2-for-4. On the season, the 24-year-old infielder is hitting .243/.298/.351 with three homers, 17 RBI and five stolen bases across 163 plate appearances.
Bo Naylor

CLE Catcher #23

Bo Naylor went 2-for-4 and clubbed a two-run homer on Friday night as the Guardians triumphed over the Tigers at Comerica Park.

The 23-year-old backstop tattooed a 404-foot two-run shot off of Joey Wentz in the second inning, extending the Guardians’ early advantage to 3-0. Naylor also doubled in the third inning and scored on an error by Kerry Carpenter. With his two-hit attack, Naylor is now hitting .244/.347/.482 with 11 long balls and 32 RBI in his first 225 plate appearances.
Emmanuel Clase

CLE Relief Pitcher #48

Emmanuel Clase served up a solo homer to Spencer Torkelson on Friday night, but managed to escape with his 44th save of the season.

The 25-year-old hurler took over with the Guardians leading 7-4 in the ninth, but he immediately gave one back on a leadoff blast by Torkelson. Clase then got Miguel Cabrera on a ground ball to first, Kerry Carpenter on a fly ball to left field and Matt Vierling on a line out to right to end the game. Clase now holds a 3.22 ERA and 64/16 K/BB ratio over 72 2/3 innings of work on the season to go along with his league-leading 44 saves.
Cal Quantrill

CLE Starting Pitcher #47

Cal Quantrill picked up his fourth victory of the season on Friday night, limiting the Tigers to four runs on eight hits over his five innings of work.

The right-hander walked one and struck out three on the night. He wasn’t at his best in this one, but didn’t need to be, as the Guardians provided him with seven early runs of support. Quantrill allowed a two-run blast to Zach McKinstry in the second inning and then a two-run triple to Parker Meadows in the fourth. Quantrill generated 11 swings and misses on 101 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 25 percent. The 28-year-old right-hander finishes the season with a 4-7 record, 5.24 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and a 58/35 K/BB ratio over 99 2/3 innings in his 19 starts.
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.
