Gaddis picked up the save in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Tigers, allowing one hit while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning. With Cade Smith unavailable Thursday, it was Gaddis who was called upon to close out a two-run lead in the ninth. The right-hander worked around a two-out single to finish off Cleveland's four-game sweep of the Tigers while locking down his first save this season. Gaddis was shaky early in the season following a stint on the IL with forearm tightness, but he's turned things around of late, allowing just one run on five hits in his last seven appearances (6.1 innings). Overall, his ERA sits at 5.25 with a 1.75 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB across 12 innings this year.

Hunter Gaddis: Breaking News
Takes loss, blown save Monday
Gaddis (0-1) was charged with the loss and a blown save Monday against the Rays, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks in one-third of an inning. After recorded the final out of the seventh inning, Gaddis served up a game-tying home run to Jonathan Aranda was then unable to retire a batter in the eighth frame. The 28-year-old right-hander is off to a rocky start following a delayed start to the season due to forearm tightness, logging a 6.75 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 6:1 K:BB over 5.1 innings as a setup man for the Guardians.
Back from injured list
The Guardians activated Gaddis (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Monday. Gaddis allowed five runs over 4.1 rehab innings with Triple-A Columbus, but the Guardians believe he's ready to help their bullpen despite those results. Though he filled a high-leverage role for Cleveland in 2025, Gaddis could be eased into such situations initially this season.
