Guardians recalled RHP Franco Aleman from Triple-A Columbus.

Aleman was just sent down to Triple-A Columns on Tuesday, but he’ll rejoin the Guardians’ bullpen with Slade Cecconi (arm) heading to the injured list. The 26-year-old hurler has posted a solid 3.77 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and a 17/5 K/BB ratio over 14 1/3 innings in 14 appearances with the big league club this season.

Guardians optioned RHP Franco Aleman to Triple-A Columbus.

Following a nice stretch 10-appearance stretch after his recall, Aleman gave up four runs while getting just two outs in his last two outings. He still had a 3.77 ERA overall, but he’ll head to Triple-A for now to help make room for Foster Griffin and Craig Yoho.

Franco Aleman struck out five in two perfect innings out of the pen against the Reds in the first game of Tuesday’s doubleheader.

Since rejoining the Guardians on July 3 for his second big-league stint, the 26-year-old Aleman has allowed one run and struck out 15 in 11 innings out of the pen. The Guardians didn’t really need another breakout reliever, but they certainly won’t turn it down.

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.
