NEW YORK -- Travis Bazzana appreciated the lively atmosphere at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday, when a crowd of 41,045 packed the ballpark for the opener of a three-game series between the Guardians and Yankees. Bazzana even found some amusement in banter from the New York faithful aimed at Cleveland’s third-base

NEW YORK -- José Ramírez’s production through May fell short of the elite standard we’ve long grown accustomed to seeing from him. The caveat is the Guardians’ third baseman had some rotten luck through the first two-plus months of the season. “If you look underneath the hood,” Guardians president of

NEW YORK -- The Guardians reinstated Steven Kwan from the bereavement/family medical emergency list on Tuesday, and the 28-year-old rejoined Cleveland’s starting lineup for its series opener against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Kwan went on the list Thursday and was away from the Guardians for their three-game weekend series

NEW YORK -- One of the prevailing storylines for the Guardians this season has been the contributions of up-and-coming position players such as Travis

CLEVELAND -- Catcher Austin Hedges’ body language perfectly captured the Guardians' agony and frustration of the moment. Rather than Cleveland escaping a bases-loaded, two-out jam with a strikeout, the full-count offering from Tim Herrin to Boston’s Wilyer Abreu was called ball four. Herrin’s four-seam fastball to Abreu appeared to catch

CLEVELAND -- The Guardians remain high on Peyton Pallette’s potential to be an impactful big league reliever. They’ll have to watch that play out from afar after they officially parted ways with the 25-year-old on Sunday. Pallette has been returned to the White Sox, from whom the Guardians selected him

CLEVELAND -- The Guardians received encouraging news on outfielder Angel Martínez's left foot injury, which forced the 24-year-old from Saturday’s 9-1 loss to the Red Sox at Progressive Field and necessitated him undergoing an MRI afterward. Martínez has a “mild mid-foot strain.” Guardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said

CLEVELAND -- There tend to be a few moments that ultimately matter when a ballgame is decided by one run. For the Guardians, one of those came in the second inning on Friday. Guardians left fielder Angel Martínez picked up an outfield assist to end the top of second, when

CLEVELAND -- The Guardians placed Steven Kwan on the bereavement/family medical emergency list, and in a corresponding move on Friday selected fellow outfielder Stuart Fairchild from Triple-A Columbus. The Guardians also transferred infielder Gabriel Arias (left hamstring strain) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL, in a procedural

CLEVELAND -- Earlier this month, Guardians catcher Austin Hedges was asked whether anything about left-hander Parker Messick seemed rookie-like. “Not really, man,” Hedges said. “From the preparation, the routine, the recovery, the mentality, the confidence in himself, that's a really polished rookie.”

CLEVELAND -- Travis Bazzana and Chase DeLauter entered 2026 with zero combined games of regular-season big league experience. Granted, DeLauter got a taste when he made his MLB debut during the ‘25 postseason, but his two-game stint was far from a long runway. And yet, if you didn’t know any

CLEVELAND -- Travis Kelce has prized childhood memories of taking the RTA to downtown Cleveland and making his way to Progressive Field to catch a baseball game. Now, the Cleveland Heights native and diehard Cleveland sports fan is joining the Guardians' organization in an ownership capacity. Kelce, the Kansas City

CLEVELAND -- Will Dion had a few opportunities on Tuesday to look around Progressive Field to soak in the atmosphere. What he was experiencing truly began to hit him in those moments, such as when he walked out to the bullpen and later ran from it to the pitcher's mound.

CLEVELAND -- Daniel Schneemann isn’t valuable to the Guardians merely because he can play a half-dozen positions. He’s valuable because he’s exceptional defensively no matter where Cleveland puts him. We saw that in action once more on Tuesday night in a 6-3 loss to the Nationals. Schneemann robbed Nationals third

CLEVELAND -- The Guardians don’t have a precise timetable for Erik Sabrowski’s return quite yet, but they’re optimistic (and perhaps breathing a sigh of relief) after getting back MRI results on the setup man’s left elbow. The Guardians placed Sabrowski on the 15-day injured list on Monday with left elbow

CLEVELAND -- Given how Tanner Bibee struggled Monday against the Nationals, manager Stephen Vogt’s postgame media session understandably centered upon the right-hander. Sometimes, the skipper relayed, you just have a bad day at the office.

CLEVELAND -- A Guardians bullpen that has been rolling this month will be without setup man Erik Sabrowski for the foreseeable future. The Guardians placed Sabrowski on the 15-day injured list on Monday (retroactive to May 22) with left elbow inflammation, and in a corresponding move recalled right-hander Codi Heuer

CLEVELAND -- The Guardians entered Monday leading the American League in stolen bases (54), and no one better exemplifies a team that has been pushing the envelope on the basepaths than José Ramírez. Ramírez leads the AL with 20 steals. He entered Monday on pace for 58 this season, which

DETROIT -- A broom conspicuously stood in the middle of the Guardians’ clubhouse at Comerica Park on Thursday afternoon, its blue body propped up against a black leather chair seated immediately in front of the entryway. Sure, it could have been there for any number of reasons, but it was

DETROIT -- For eight innings on Wednesday, the Guardians’ offense was silent, once again unable to muster an ounce of run support for starter Tanner Bibee. Heading into the ninth inning, there was a common goal inside the first-base dugout at Comerica Park. “It really felt like the guys wanted

DETROIT -- The Guardians can always count on Steven Kwan to play strong defense in left and center field. That’s a key element of the four-time Gold Glove Award winner’s stardom, along with an elite hit tool that has lagged behind this season and led to Kwan’s demotion from Cleveland’s
