Rotoworld Player News

Angel Genao

CLE 2nd Baseman #17

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Angel Genao went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Genao’s home run was his second of the season. He hit a two-run shot off Blue Jays reliever Joe Mantiply in the seventh inning. Genao pinch hit for Travis Bazzana with the left-handed Mantiply on the mound. He’s not playing everyday, with makes him a tough sell for mixed league fantasy managers. The home run was nice to see from a promising young player, though.
Angel Martínez

CLE Left Fielder #1

Angel Martínez went 2-for-3 with three runs, a walk and a two-run home run against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Martínez’ home run was his 14th of the season. He hit a two-run shot off Blue Jays reliever Michael Lorenzen in the seventh inning. Martínez hit .324 in August, but only had two home runs. He’s hitting .249 with a .728 OPS and 50 RBI this year.
Gavin Williams

CLE Starting Pitcher #32

Gavin Williams allowed one run (none earned) in seven innings and got the win in the Guardians’ 6-1 victory over the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Williams gave up two hits, walked one and struck out 13. He improved to 13-7 with the win. Williams bounced back with a gaudy strikeout total after he allowed five runs and didn’t even make it out of the second inning in his last start. He tied Dylan Cease with 217 for the second-most strikeouts this year. Williams has a 3.81 ERA. He’s lined up to face the Tigers at home on Sunday.
Carlos Hernandez

CLE Relief Pitcher #40

Guardians selected the contract of RHP Carlos Hernández from Triple-A Columbus.

Hernández will give the Guardians another arm in the bullpen down the stretch. He pitched to a 5.40 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and 20/7 K/BB ratio in 13 1/3 innings in Triple-A.
Daniel Schneemann

CLE Center Fielder #10

Guardians recalled INF/OF Daniel Schneemann from Triple-A Columbus.

Schneemann hit .206/.275/.321 with six stolen bases and six homers in 276 plate appearances earlier this season. He will provide depth at multiple positions down the stretch.
José Ramírez

CLE 3rd Baseman #11

José Ramírez went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, four RBI, and two runs scored as the Guardians crushed the Royals 11-1 on Sunday.

The homer was a two-run blast off Seth Lugo in the fourth, J-Ram’s first since June 6. He missed time with a hamate injury, which has since sapped some of his power. It was only his 11th homer of the season, though he’s partially made up for it with 31 stolen bases. Ramírez is on pace for his third consecutive 40-steal season despite the injury. Flashing more power down the stretch will go a long way toward easing any concerns fantasy managers have entering 2027, his age-34 campaign.
Parker Messick

CLE Starting Pitcher #77

Parker Messick earned the victory in Sunday’s 11-1 win over the Royals, allowing one earned run on five hits over six innings pitched.

Messick struck out five and walked two, lowering his ERA to 2.46. He gave up a first-inning run but quickly settled down as Cleveland’s offense exploded in the middle innings. Messick has had a phenomenal rookie season. He easily leads all rookie pitchers in fWAR and has the third-lowest ERA among American League starters. His fWAR is already in the top 10 for rookie arms dating back to 2000, and there’s a meaningful chance he finishes in the top three. Spencer Strider in 2022 and Yu Darvish in 2012 are at the top of that leaderboard.
Jo Adell

CLE Right Fielder #7

Jo Adell went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, and three RBI as the Guardians defeated the Royals 11-1 on Sunday.

That makes 21 RBI in 23 games for Adell since the Guardians acquired him at this summer’s trade deadline. He has consistently hit in the heart of the order, which has lengthened the team’s lineup alongside José Ramírez’s return from injury. Fellow newcomer Nathaniel Lowe also drove in three in Sunday’s offensive eruption against Seth Lugo. Adell will be arbitration-eligible for the final time in 2027, so it’ll be interesting to see how the Guardians handle his contract this offseason.
Nathaniel Lowe

CLE 1st Baseman #46

Nathaniel Lowe went 1-for-4 with a homer and three RBI as the Guardians defeated the Royals 11-1 on Sunday.

Lowe’s homer was a two-run shot off Seth Lugo in the bottom of the first. He has hit fourth or fifth in every game against a right-hander since coming over from the Reds at this summer’s trade deadline. Kyle Manzardo has been at Triple-A ever since, suggesting there’s no threat to Lowe’s strong-side platoon role down the stretch.
Chase DeLauter

CLE Right Fielder #24

Chase DeLauter went 4-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI, and three runs scored as the Guardians blew out the Royals 11-1 on Sunday.

DeLauter has battled a couple of minor injuries since mid-August, but he remains a fixture atop Cleveland’s lineup when healthy. The rookie has hit second or third in each of his starts dating back to early May. The four hits on Sunday raised his batting average to .293, which ranks 10th among qualified hitters. While there have been sporadic missed games throughout the year, DeLauter’s 480 plate appearances to date are by far the most he has accumulated in a season since turning pro.
