Guardians Depth Chart
Cantillo (5-3) earned the win Saturday against the Tigers after tossing five innings of one-run ball. He gave up six hits while striking out four. Cantillo allowed the Tigers' lone run of the game following an RBI single from Dillon Dingler in the first inning, but he settled down afterwards and ultimately earned the win. One of the most positive aspects for Cantillo in this outing is the fact that he didn't issue a single walk for the first time this season, and he also snapped a run of three straight outings giving up four or more earned runs. Cantillo, who owns a 4.38 ERA across 72 innings this season, is set to make his next start on the road against the Astros.
Smith earned the save in Saturday's win over the Tigers after allowing a hit and a walk across 1.1 innings, striking out two. Smith hasn't blown a save since April 14 and leads the majors in that category with 23. The star closer also has a career-best 2.48 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP across 32.2 innings (31 outings) this season, and he's been one of the best relievers in the majors with a 12.3 K/9, 2.0 BB/9 and 0.1 HR/9 thus far.
Cleveland announced that Ramirez has a left hamate bone fracture on Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. Ramirez was taken out of Saturday's ball game against Detroit in the sixth inning with what is now determined to be a left hamate bone fracture. The 33-year-old was slashing .238/.339/.415 in 310 plate appearances this campaign, well below his career averages of .278/.352/.500. The Guardians have yet to determine who will replace Ramirez on the active roster, but look for David Fry and Daniel Schneemann to get more playing time at third base in his absence.
Ramirez (undisclosed) was removed from Saturday's tilt against Detroit in the sixth inning, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. It's not immediately clear why Ramirez was removed, but he fouled out during a plate appearance in the bottom of the fifth inning and was pulled for a defensive substitute in the top of the sixth. His removal is the continuation of a brutal day for the Guardians, who earlier lost outfielders Chase DeLauter (ribs) and Angel Martinez (foot) due to injuries. Cleveland has consequently had to shuffle around players on defense -- Daniel Schneemann is playing third base, Kyle Manzardo has entered at first base, Steven Kwan has taken over in center field and Rhys Hoskins is in left field for his first appearance in the outfield since 2018.
Martinez is dealing with a bruised left foot, and X-rays came back negative, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. Martinez was pulled from Saturday's matchup against Detroit due to the injury, which occurred when he fouled a ball off his foot in the first inning. The fact that he initially stayed in the game bodes well for his likelihood of avoiding of a long-term absence, as does the negative X-rays. Still, it's too early to tell whether Martinez will need to miss additional time.
DeLauter exited Saturday's game against Detroit due to a right rib cage contusion, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. DeLauter suffered the injury when he crashed into the outfield wall while pursuing a batted ball in the top of the first inning. He initially remained in the contest but was pulled after grabbing at his side while running to first base on a single in the bottom of the frame. At this point, it's unclear how much additional time (if any) DeLauter will need to miss or if an IL stint is on the table.
Martinez was removed from Saturday's contest against the Tigers due to an apparent foot issue, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. Martinez fouled a ball off his left foot during his at-bat in the first inning. He initially stayed in the game but was replaced in left field by Steven Kwan to begin the third frame. Martinez became the second Cleveland outfielder to be removed from Saturday's contest -- Chase DeLauter had to exit for a pinch runner due to an apparent side injury in the first inning. Updates on both players should come after they are evaluated by the Guardians' training staff.
DeLauter was pulled from Saturday's contest in the first inning against Detroit due to an apparent injury to his right side, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. DeLauter crashed into the outfield wall while trying to corral a ball hit by Gleyber Torres in the top of the first inning. It's not clear if that was related to what happened during DeLauter's at-bat in the bottom of the frame, when he hit a single off Tarik Skubal but appeared to be grabbing at his right side as he approached first base. DeLauter was subsequently replaced by pinch runner Daniel Schneemann. The Guardians will presumably evaluate DeLauter, and an update on his status could come during or shortly after Saturday's game.
