Angel Martínez - Adds three hits in win Martinez went 3-for-4 with a double and one RBI in Monday's 4-3 win over the Twins.
Impact This was Martinez's second multi-hit effort in a row. He continues to fill in at leadoff and in left field with Steven Kwan (back/body fatigue) being held out again Monday. Martinez is slashing .258/.331/.392 with three home runs, three stolen bases, 10 RBI, 14 runs scored and seven doubles over 34 contests. He'll have streaming appeal as long as he can stick in Cleveland's lineup.

Andrew Walters - Picks up first win Walters (1-0) struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the win in Monday's 4-3 win over the Twins.
Impact Walters has given up just one unearned run and posted a 2:1 K:BB over his first three innings in the majors. The 23-year-old surged through the Guardians' minor-league system after being selected 62nd overall in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, logging just 50.1 innings in the minors. He's in the majors for bullpen depth currently, though this will also serve as a first audition for him to potentially be a part of Cleveland's relief corps in 2025.

Kyle Manzardo - Crushes game-winning homer Manzardo went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Monday's 4-3 win over the Twins.
Impact The rookie slugger tattooed a Griffin Jax fastball deep to right field in the eighth inning, giving the Guardians their first and only lead of the game. Manzardo still isn't seeing consistent playing time, but he's been a more reliable contributor of late when he is on the lineup card, slashing .278/.333/.583 through 39 plate appearances in September with two doubles and all three of his big-league homers so far.

Emmanuel Clase - Nails down 46th save Clase struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Monday to record his 46th save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Twins.
Impact The right-hander got Carlos Correa and Royce Lewis to chase triple-digit cutters as he converted his 33rd straight save chance, with his last blown save coming May 19. Clase is having a career year, which is saying something given the level of performance he'd already established, The 26-year-old's 46 saves leads the majors, and it comes with a minuscule 0.65 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 63:8 K:BB through 69.1 innings.

Matthew Boyd - Early exit in no-decision Boyd escaped with a no-decision in Monday's 4-3 win over the Twins, giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks over 2.2 innings. He struck out five.
Impact The veteran southpaw got the hook after 64 pitches (39 strikes) when four straight batters reached base in the third inning thanks to two walks and two hard-hit singles. Boyd has failed to last five innings in either of his last two outings, but he still has yet to allow more than three earned runs in any of his seven starts since joining the Guardians' rotation, delivering a 2.52 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB through 35.2 innings. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road this weekend in St. Louis.
