Will Brennan - Launches second homer Brennan went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.
Impact Brennan teed off on A's starter Ross Stripling, tagging him for a long ball in the second inning and then hitting a double -- and eventually scoring -- in the fourth. The contest marked Brennan's first multi-hit game since Apr. 3 and broke him out of a 2-for-24 (.083) slump that spanned nine games. He's up to a .222 batting average on the season while striking out at a 14.8 percent clip.

Tanner Bibee - Fans eight in victory Bibee (2-0) picked up the win Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out eight.
Impact Bibee allowed a solo shot in the fourth frame to Brent Rooker, marking his fourth consecutive start allowing a long ball. However, he hit the eight-strikeout threshold for the second time this season and stayed out of the loss column. Bibee has stepped up in place of Shane Bieber (elbow), delivering two or fewer earned runs in two straight starts and lasting at least five innings in each appearance. He's tentatively scheduled for a matchup with Atlanta next weekend.

Josh Naylor - Blasts another homer Naylor went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Athletics.
Impact Naylor has hit safely in eight straight games, going 11-for-33 (.333) with three homers and eight RBI in that span. The first baseman is thriving in the cleanup spot, slashing .329/.400/.630 with six homers, 17 RBI, 13 runs scored and four doubles over 85 plate appearances, but he's also been caught stealing on both of his attempts this year. Naylor has trimmed his strikeouts rate to 11.8 percent and upped his walk rate to 9.9 percent. He's never hit more than 20 homers in a season, but he's also never exceeded 122 contests, so an everyday role seems to be in part helping his increased production.

Hunter Gaddis - Quickly ascending leverage ladder Gaddis walked one and struck out two in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn his fifth hold of the season Saturday versus the Athletics.
Impact Gaddis had struggled primarily as a starter over parts of the last two seasons, but he's thriving as a reliever so far. He's got a 15:3 K:BB while allowing just four hits and no runs over 10.2 innings to begin the campaign. Gaddis was expected to be more of a middle reliever initially, but he's looking more like a setup man after his hot start, which is especially impressive considering how strong the Guardians' bullpen has been. Gaddis has also been able to unlock more velocity in shorter outings -- per Statcast, his fastball is averaging 96.3 mph this year after sitting at 93.4 mph over the previous two years. He's also tightened his pitch arsenal, dropping his curveball and cutter while using his slider and changeup as his offspeed offerings.

José Ramírez - Receives first rest day Ramirez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Athletics.
Impact Ramirez started the first 21 games of the season but will sit for Sunday's series finale versus Oakland, which will give him two straight days since Cleveland has a scheduled day off Monday. The five-time All-Star is off to a slow start in 2024 with a .239/.253/.402 slash line in 95 plate appearances, though he's still tied for fifth in the AL in RBI (18) and tied for sixth in runs (15).
