Guardians recalled RHP Franco Aleman from Triple-A Columbus.

Aleman had a sparkling 0.32 ERA in 28 1/3 innings in Triple-A Columbus, along with 43 strikeouts and just eight hits allowed. The Guardians will give him another chance to stick after he allowed one run in 2 2/3 innings in a brief taste of the majors earlier this year.

Guardians optioned RHP Franco Aleman to Triple-A Columbus.

Aleman has thrown 2 2/3 innings out of the bullpen over the last three days, so the Guardians are just trying to get a fresh arm in the bullpen. He should get another chance in the near future.

Guardians optioned RHPs Daniel Espino and Franco Aleman to Triple-A Columbus; Reassigned LHP Ryan Webb and OF Alfonsin Rosario to minor league camp.

Espino impressed during Cactus League play, but there was never going to be a spot available for him in the Guardians’ Opening Day rotation barring injury. He’ll work out of the rotation at Triple-A Columbus to start the season and should be one of the first names to get the call when someone hits the injured list or the Guardians need a spot starter.

Guardians optioned RHP Nic Enright, RHP Daniel Espino, and RHP Franco Aleman to Triple-A Columbus and reassigned OF Chase DeLauter and OF George Valera to minor league camp.

Enright is dealing with a lat strain, and is a candidate to open the year on the 60-day injured list. Espino is one of the most talented young pitchers in baseball, but hasn’t been able to pitch since 2022 because of injuries. DeLauter is one of the top hitting prospects in the Cleveland system and stands a good chance of making his MLB debut before 2025 comes to a close.

The Guardians announced Thursday that right-hander Franco Aleman underwent surgery to repair a hernia in his left hip.

The 24-year-old hurler had been in big league camp as a non-roster invitee, but this operation will shelve him for the next four-to-six weeks. The Guardians thought enough of Aleman to protect him from the Rule 5 draft over the winter, so don’t be surprised if you see him working out of the big league bullpen at some point during the 2025 campaign.

Guardians selected the contracts of RHP Nic Enright, LHP Doug Nikhazy, RHP Franco Aleman and OF Petey Halpin from Triple-A Columbus.

The quartet will be protected from selection in next month’s Rule 5 Draft. Enright was a Rule 5 pick from the Marlins a couple seasons ago and is the closes to the big leagues after pitching well last year in a handful of appearances at Triple-A Columbus. The other three are ranked in the mid-20’s of Cleveland’s system, according to MLB Pipeline.
