Chase DeLauter - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Set to play in Fall League The Guardians list DeLauter (hamstring) as one the organization's eight prospects on the Surprise Saguaros' Arizona Fall League roster.

Impact DeLauter finished the 2024 season on Triple-A Columbus' 7-day injured list with a right hamstring strain, but the expectation is that he'll be ready to play when Fall League play opens Oct. 7. In addition to the hamstring strain, injuries to both of DeLauter's feet limited him to just 159 plate appearances between Columbus and Double-A Akron in 2024. The assignment to the Fall League will afford DeLauter the opportunity to get some more competitive at-bats in before spring training.

Goes on Triple-A IL DeLauter was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Columbus on Friday with a right hamstring strain.

Impact The 22-year-old had posted an 1.147 OPS in six games after being promoted to Columbus, putting himself on the radar for a potential September call-up. While the severity of the strain is unclear, DeLauter would appear to now be a long shot to get a late-season look in the majors. He has loads of talent but just can't stay on the field, having missed ample time the last two seasons with foot problems and now being shelved by a hamstring injury.

Moving up to Triple-A DeLauter will be promoted from Double-A Akron to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

Impact DeLauter returned to action for Akron in late July after missing nearly two months of action with a foot injury. He had homered in each of his last three games and in four of his past seven contests with Akron. DeLauter has slashed .318/.385/.502 in two minor-league seasons but has been plagued by nagging foot problems.

Lifted from IL DeLauter (toe) was activated from Double-A Akron's 7-day injured list Saturday.

Impact The top prospect went 2-for-8 with a home run, a walk and three runs scored over three rehab games with the Guardians' Arizona Complex League affiliate. DeLauter did not play consecutive days during his rehab assignment, so it's likely he'll be eased back in at Akron, potentially also serving regularly as a designated hitter.

Rehabbing in Arizona DeLauter began a rehab assignment with the Guardians' Arizona Complex League affiliate on Saturday.

Impact DeLauter has played just one game since April due to a broken left foot and then a sprained toe on his right foot. He's dealt with multiple foot injuries, primarily the left one, during his minor-league career. Given his lengthy absence, he'll likely need a handful of rehab games before he can return to Double-A Akron's lineup.

Done playing in big-league ST games DeLauter will not play in anymore big-league spring training games this season, manager Stephen Vogt told Christopher Dellacese of 19 News.

Impact DeLauter was in minor-league camp but was able to make 30 plate appearances with the big club this spring, slashing .520/.600/1.040 with four home runs and more walks (five) than strikeouts (four). He will likely head to Double-A or Triple-A as a 22-year-old and could be up playing everyday for the big club sometime in the first half.
