CLEVELAND GUARDIANS NEWS

Jhonkensy Noel - Slugs homer No. 10 Noel went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Yankees.

Impact The rookie spoiled New York's combined shutout bid when he took Tim Mayza deep in the eighth inning. Noel has seized the starting job in right field, going yard four times in the last eight games while batting .320 (8-for-25). The surge has pushed the 23-year-old's slash line on the season to .257/.321/.594 with 10 homers and 19 RBI in 112 plate appearances.

Joey Cantillo - Tough night in New York Cantillo (0-3) took the loss Wednesday as the Guardians fell 8-1 to the Yankees, surrendering seven runs on six hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out five.

Impact Two-run homers by Juan Soto in the first inning and Aaron Judge in the third accounted for most of the damage off the rookie southpaw. Cantillo got the hook after 88 pitches (50 strikes), and he's now served up six long balls while walking nine batters in his first 17 big-league innings, highlighting how much work he'll need to do to improve his control and command before he'll be a viable fantasy option. With Alex Cobb (finger) out until the end of the month, Cantillo is likely to get at least one more start, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Royals.

Jhonkensy Noel - Gaining foothold in everyday lineup Noel will start in right field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Noel has largely served as a short-side platoon player since getting a call-up to the Guardians in late June, but after slugging three home runs in two games against the Cubs on Aug. 12 and 13, he's been earning more opportunities against right-handed pitching. He's now started in seven of the last eight games overall, facing off versus five right-handed starters during that span. Unfortunately for Noel, he's gone just 2-for-15 with one extra-base hit (a double) since his home-run binge against the Cubs, but the Guardians still seem content to prioritize him in the regular lineup over David Fry, who was on the bench for each of the last three matchups with righties.

Anthony Gose - DFA'd again The Guardians designated Gose for assignment Wednesday.

Impact The Guardians have now pushed Gose off the 40-man roster twice within the past two weeks, with the 34-year-old lefty having made just one relief appearance between his two abbreviated stints with the big club. Gose will likely clear waivers once again and will presumably accept an outright assignment to Triple-A Columbus.

AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE

Joey Cantillo - Recalled ahead of start The Guardians recalled Cantillo from Triple-A Columbus in advance of his start Wednesday against the Yankees.

Impact The lefty will pick up his fourth career MLB start after yielding nine earned runs on 15 hits and six walks while striking out nine over 13 innings across his first three outings with the big club. Following Wednesday's game, Cantillo could stick around with the Guardians to make another start during Monday's doubleheader with the Royals, but he could be optioned back to Triple-A after that if Alex Cobb (fingernail) is able to return from the 15-day injured list later on in the week.

AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE

Brayan Rocchio - Out of Cleveland lineup Rocchio is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Impact The Guardians have been rotating multiple guys in at shortstop, and they are going with Tyler Freeman in this one. Rocchio homered in Tuesday's win over the Yankees, which was his sixth long ball of the season.

AUGUST 21 • ROTOWIRE

Bo Naylor - Out against left-hander Naylor is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Impact The Yankees are sending southpaw Nestor Cortes to the bump, so the left-handed hitting Naylor will take a seat. Austin Hedges will do the catching and bat ninth for the Guardians.
