Daniel Schneemann - Moves into utility role Schneemann will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Rays.
Impact Though he'll enter the lineup Sunday while third baseman Jose Ramirez gets a day out of the infield and serves as the Guardians' designated hitter, Schneemann's time as a regular in the Cleveland lineup looks to be over. The left-handed-hitting Schneemann had started in just two of the Guardians' previous six games, with Cleveland facing only one lefty starter during that stretch.

Jhonkensy Noel - On bench Sunday Noel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
Impact After starting in four of the Guardians' previous five matchups with right-handers, Noel will take a seat Sunday while righty Taj Bradley takes the hill for Tampa Bay. The Guardians will go with Will Brennan in right field in place of Noel, who has gone 4-for-31 (.129 average) with a 30.3 percent strikeout rate thus far in September.
SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Manzardo - On bench Sunday Manzardo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
Impact It's the second straight game on the bench against a right-hander starter (Taj Bradley), as Manzardo has gone 4-for-23 with nine strikeouts over his past nine contests. Jose Ramirez is resting his legs as the designated hitter while Daniel Schneeman starts at third base.
SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Steven Kwan - Remaining on bench Sunday Kwan (body fatigue) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
Impact Kwan was scratched from Friday's lineup due to body fatigue and is sitting Sunday for the third consecutive contest. He should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus Minnesota. Angel Martinez is receiving another start in left field.

Andrés Giménez - Adds steal in win Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Rays.
Impact Gimenez didn't show much speed through July, but he's now logged 13 thefts on 15 attempts across 41 games since the start of August. The second baseman is up to 29 steals on the year, one shy of matching his career high from last year. He's maintained a .253/.302/.338 slash line with eight home runs, 59 RBI, 62 runs scored, 20 doubles and one triple over 141 contests.

Lane Thomas - Stays warm with homer, double Thomas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Rays.
Impact Thomas has found his swing after a brutal August, going 18-for-49 (.367) through 13 contests in September. He's added four homers, six doubles and a stolen base in that span. The hot stretch has helped Thomas secure a starting role in center field, which had previously been a revolving door for the Guardians. He earned some extra job security when Tyler Freeman was reassigned to Triple-A Columbus before Saturday's game. Thomas is now at a .247/.319/.405 slash line with 12 homers, 58 RBI, 60 runs scored and 32 steals through 118 contests between Cleveland and Washington this year.
SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
José Ramírez - Reaches 35-homer mark Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Rays.
Impact Ramirez ended an 11-game homer drought with his eighth-inning solo shot, which got him to the 35-homer mark for the third time in his career. The third baseman has still gone 12 games without a multi-hit effort, but he's made the most of his trips on base with five stolen bases in that span. Ramirez has a .270/.329/.514 slash line with 107 RBI, 106 runs scored, 39 steals, 33 doubles and one triple across 146 contests this season.
