Retreats to bench Saturday Hedges isn't starting Saturday's game against the Royals.
Reinstated, starting Friday Hedges (concussion) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list Friday.
Impact Hedges was on the shelf for a week and a half but is starting behind the dish and batting eighth during Friday's matchup against the Royals. He hit just .111 with a homer, three runs and three RBI over his 10 games leading up to his absence but should serve as the Guardians' primary catcher now that he's healthy.

Guardians place catcher Hedges on IL with concussion
Cleveland Guardians catcher Austin Hedges has been placed on the 7-day injured list with a concussionJUNE 28, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Goes on concussion IL The Guardians placed Hedges on the 7-day concussion injured list Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Impact The head injury likely explains why Hedges was withheld from the lineup for back-to-back games Sunday and Monday, even though he's operated as the Guardians' No. 1 backstop throughout the season. Cleveland acquired Sandy Leon from Cincinnati on Tuesday to add some depth behind the plate while Hedges is sidelined, but Luke Maile will likely serve as the Guardians' primary backstop in the short term.

Not starting Monday Hedges will sit Monday against Minnesota.
Impact Hedges finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row. His .494 OPS makes it hard to justify his everyday role, though Luke Maile, who starts again Monday, has a similarly uninspiring .572 OPS and doesn't share Hedges' defensive reputation, so a permanent change to the depth chart seems unlikely.

Gets breather Hedges is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Impact With Sunday's contest beginning at 1:40 p.m. ET, Hedges will get the game off after he caught all nine innings of Saturday's 4-2 loss. Luke Maile replaces Hedges behind the dish.

Sitting Thursday Hedges will sit Thursday versus the Twins.
Impact Hedges will take a seat after he went 1-for-7 with a solo home run in the first two games of the series. Luke Maile will draw the start at catcher and bat eighth in the series finale.

Goes deep Wednesday Hedges went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 11-10 win over the Twins.
Impact Hedges had gone 0-for-7 in his last three games, but he was able to snap the skid with a fifth-inning blast to left field. This was the catcher's first extra-base hit in June, and he's gone 7-for-36 (.194) this month. That's actually an improvement given his season slash line of .165/.225/.281 with five homers, 15 RBI, 13 runs scored and a stolen base in 47 contests overall.
