Chris Vallimont - Loses 40-man roster spotThe Guardians designated Vallimont for assignment Monday.
Ramón Laureano - Lands with GuardiansThe Guardians claimed Laureano off waivers from the Athletics, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
ImpactLaureano was designated for assignment by Oakland over the weekend but will get to remain in the majors and join a team with playoff aspirations. The 29-year-old is sporting just a .213/.280/.364 slash line this season, but he should receive a good amount of playing time in Cleveland at the very least against left-handed pitching. Laureano is under team control through 2025 but could be a non-tender candidate unless he finishes strong.

ImpactNaquin has spent all of 2023 at Triple-A Nashville, posting a .766 OPS with six home runs in 40 games. The veteran outfielder will report to Charlotte for now but could be an option to join the White Sox at some point during the final two months of the season.

Triston McKenzie - Playing catch againMcKenzie (elbow) hasn't experienced any setbacks since he resumed playing catch July 28, MLB.com reports.
ImpactAccording to the report, McKenzie was able to play catch on five consecutive days without issue, a good sign as he continues his recovery from a right UCL sprain. He remains hopeful to pitch again for the big club in 2023, but until he reaches the point in his rehab where he's facing live hitters, the Guardians likely won't offer up a concrete target date for his return from the 60-day injured list. Based on where he currently stands in his rehab program, McKenzie is likely at least a month away from rejoining the Cleveland rotation in a best-case scenario.
