Collin Kayfus: Breaking News

Moving to Triple-A

The Guardians optioned Kayfus to Triple-A Columbus on Monday. Kayfus has slashed just .182/.280/.364 in nine games this season and has played sparingly lately, so he will head to Columbus where he can get more regular reps. George Valera (calf) was reinstated from the injured list and will take Kayfus' spot on the active roster.

Losing out on regular starts

Kayfus is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta. Kayfus will hit the bench for a fourth consecutive game, with the Guardians having faced three lefties and one righty during that stretch. The 24-year-old looks like he'll have to settle for a limited role as a fourth outfielder and backup first baseman with the hot-hitting Angel Martinez having taken control of a regular spot in the lineup.

Hitting bench for series finale

Kayfus is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. After starting in right field in Tuesday's 2-1 win while southpaw Noah Cameron took the hill for Kansas City, the left-handed-hitting Kayfus will retreat to the bench for the series finale while the Royals send another lefty (Cole Ragans) to the bump. Chase DeLauter will step in for Kayfus in right field and will bat fifth.
