Jhonkensy Noel - Absent from Cleveland lineup Noel is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Rangers.

Steven Kwan - Swipes bag in loss Kwan went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 6-0 loss to the Yankees.
Impact Kwan led off the game with a single, but that was the Guardians' lone hit of the contest. Prior to Thursday, Kwan had gone just 1-for-20 over his last five games, though the Guardians have struggled in general during their road trip with stops in Milwaukee and New York. The outfielder is up to 11 steals on 15 attempts while slashing .310/.371/.457 through 101 contests this season.

José Ramírez - Secures 30-30 season Ramirez went 0-for-1 with three walks and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-0 loss to the Yankees.
Impact Ramirez has been hitless in five of his last seven games, going 2-for-23 with seven walks and four steals in that span. While his bat is cold, his steal Thursday was his 30th of the year, and that got him to the second 30-30 campaign of his career. His career high of 34 thefts from 2018 is very much in reach. Ramirez is slashing .273/.332/.530 with 32 home runs, 101 RBI and 93 runs scored over 124 contests this season, and given his overall consistency, it's safe to assume his current slump won't stretch too much longer.

Gavin Williams - Can't escape fifth inning Williams (2-6) took the loss Thursday, allowing three runs on four hits and four walks over 4.1 innings against the Yankees. He struck out five.
Impact Williams was locked in a pitcher's duel early against Gerrit Cole but was tagged by an Aaron Judge solo blast in the fourth inning, then was pulled after a couple of batters reached base in the fifth, later scoring to increase the deficit. Combined with the Guardians' moribund bats, that was more than enough damage for Williams to be rendered with his sixth loss. Williams has now failed to make it through the fifth inning in three of his last four appearances, tallying a 7.36 ERA and 1.64 WHIP over 18.1 innings during that stretch. With a banged-up bullpen and a playoff push ahead for Cleveland, they'll continue to rely upon Williams to regain his form during the stretch run. He'll look to bounce back during his next start, slated to take place at home against the Royals.

Connor Gillispie - Called up from Triple-A The Guardians recalled Gillispie from Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.
Impact The addition of Gillispie gives the Guardians a fresh arm out of the bullpen for Thursday's series finale at Yankee Stadium after long relievers Pedro Avila and Eli Morgan were both needed for two innings in Wednesday's 8-1 loss. Gillispie was up with the Guardians earlier this month and made his MLB debut Aug. 4 against the Orioles, striking out three and allowing one run over three innings.

Joey Cantillo - Heading back to Triple-A The Guardians optioned Cantillo to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.
Impact While making his fourth start of the season for the Guardians on Wednesday against the Yankees, Cantillo was dealt a third consecutive loss after yielding seven earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over four innings. Despite being optioned to Columbus, Cantillo could still be a candidate to get called up again Monday, when the Guardians will require two starting pitchers for a doubleheader with the Royals. However, with Cantillo now owning an 8.47 ERA and 1.76 WHIP through 17 innings with the big club, the Guardians could be compelled to go in a different direction.
AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE
Lane Thomas - Sitting against righty again Thomas is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.
Impact Thomas has gone just 7-for-59 at the plate since joining the Guardians in late July, and the prolonged slide seems to have cost him a spot in the club's everyday lineup. He's now started just six of the last 12 contests, with each of those absences coming against right-handed pitchers. With Thomas on the bench Thursday, Tyler Freeman will pick up a start in center field.
AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE
David Fry - Losing work against righties Fry is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.
Impact Fry is on the bench for a fourth straight matchup versus a right-handed pitcher (Gerrit Cole) and seems to have moved into a short-side platoon role while his bat has cooled down since the All-Star break. Jhonkensy Noel will occupy the designated-hitter spot Thursday, and he and Will Brennan should continue to get playing time against right-handers at Fry's expense.
AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE
Lane Thomas - Absent from Cleveland lineup Thomas is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Yankees.
Impact Thomas' dreadful start since joining the Guardians (7-for-59) has meant being less than an everyday player the last couple weeks, as he's now started just six of the last 12 contests. Tyler Freeman will be in center field and Will Brennan will patrol right.
