Alex Cobb - Poised for team debut this weekend Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Monday that Cobb (hip) is on track to return from the 60-day injured list to make a start at some point during this weekend's four-game series i...
Impact Cobb has spent the entire 2024 campaign on the IL while working his way back from offseason left hip surgery and hitting a couple road bumps in the rehab process along the way, but he looks to be back to optimal health and fully stretched out for a starting role. After Cobb made six rehab appearances from June 30 through July 26, he was traded from the Giants to the Guardians last week and shifted his rehab assignment to Triple-A Columbus. He looked good during his start with Columbus on Saturday, tossing 69 pitches and covering 4.2 innings while striking out five and allowing five baserunners.

Matthew Boyd - Making another rehab start Boyd (elbow) is scheduled to start for Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday, Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Impact Boyd is set to make his fifth rehab start Wednesday, which could be his final outing before being activated from the injured list. The left-hander has been recovering from Tommy John surgery but has flashed an increased velocity during his rehab stint. With Alex Cobb (hip/shoulder/finger) slated to return from the injured list this weekend and Carlos Carrasco struggling, it's unclear how the Guardians will fill out the tail end of its rotation once Boyd is healthy.

Tanner Bibee - Resumes playing catch Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said that Bibee (shoulder) resumed playing catch Monday and is expected to slot back into the rotation soon, Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicl...
Impact Cleveland has already announced its three starters for the series with the Diamondbacks that begins Monday, so Bibee isn't expected to return to action until at least Friday, when the Guardians play a doubleheader in Minnesota. Bibee hasn't started since last Monday, when he experienced some tightness in his shoulder during his outing in Detroit. Assuming he responds well to playing catch and is able to complete a bullpen session in the next couple of days without issue, Bibee should get the green light to pitch at some point during the weekend series versus the Twins.

Sam Hentges - Starting rehab assignment Hentges (shoulder) is scheduled to pitch for Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Impact Hentges will throw in a game for the first time since being placed on the IL on July 12 due to shoulder inflammation. It's unclear how many rehab outings Hentges will need before rejoining the Guardians bullpen, but he should be expected back sometime in mid-August.

Guardians add LHP Logan Allen to face Diamondbacks The Cleveland Guardians recalled left-hander Logan Allen from Triple-A Columbus, while right-hander Connor Gillispie was optioned to Columbu...
AUGUST 5 • THESTATE.COM
Connor Gillispie - Sent back to Triple-A The Guardians optioned Gillispie to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.
Impact Gillispie was brought up to the big club Sunday and threw three innings of relief. However, he'll make room for Logan Allen to be called up and start Sunday's contest against Arizona. Gillispie has logged a 4.01 ERA across 89.2 innings for Columbus this season.
AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE
Logan Allen - Called up to start Monday The Guardians recalled Allen from Triple-A Columbus ahead of his scheduled start Monday against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Tanner Bibee still needs more time off to move past a shoulder injury, so the Guardians will bring back Allen to make his first start for the big club since July 6. After a solid rookie campaign in 2023, Allen turned in a 5.67 ERA over 18 starts this season before the Guardians sent the struggling lefty to the minors. Though he's rebounded over his three starts at Triple-A with a 3.86 ERA, Allen has given up three long balls while turning in an underwhelming 12:7 K:BB in 16.1 innings. Since Allen doesn't seem to have completely righted the ship during his time in the minors, he's tough to rely on as a streaming option against an Arizona lineup that has produced a 117 wRC+ versus lefties this season.

Angel Martínez - Idle again Martinez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Arizona.
Impact Martinez will miss the starting nine for the third time in five games, yielding to Tyler Freeman in center field. Since the All-Star break, Martinez is 12-for-56 (.214) with four RBI and five runs scored.
AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE
Daniel Schneemann - On bench Monday Schneemann is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Arizona.
Impact Schneemann will take a seat Monday de4spite right-hander Zac Gallen being on the mound for the Diamondbacks. Brayan Rocchio will play shortstop and bat ninth.

Alex Cobb - Tosses 69 pitches in rehab start Cobb (hip/shoulder/finger) covered 4.2 innings in his rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Columbus, striking out five while allowing one earned run on three hits and two walks.
Impact Cobb spotted 44 of his 69 pitches and sported a fastball that maxed out at 94.9 miles per hour. The right-hander has now made seven rehab starts overall, but Saturday's was his first as a member of the Guardians organization after he was acquired from the Giants on Tuesday. At this point, Cobb looks to be fully stretched back out after having spent all season on the injured list up to this point while recovering from offseason hip surgery. Cobb also had his rehab program slowed down by a sore shoulder and more recently, a blister, but neither issue looks to be a concern moving forward. Assuming the Guardians were satisfied with how Cobb fared Saturday, he could come off the 60-day IL and make his 2024 MLB debut as soon as Friday, when the Guardians will begin a four-game series with the Twins with a doubleheader.

Daniel Schneemann - Posts second steal Schneemann went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Orioles.
Impact After sitting out the first two games of this four-game set versus the Orioles, Schneemann started the last two and went 3-for-6 with a double and a steal. The utility man was at shortstop for the first time in four games -- Brayan Rocchio has been clawing back some playing time at that position in what remains an open competition that could also include Tyler Freeman. Schneemann is slashing .227/.304/.429 with four home runs, two steals, 16 RBI and 12 runs scored over 135 plate appearances, but he's hitting just .200 (6-for-30) since the All-Star break.

José Ramírez - Swipes two bags Sunday Ramirez went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases and a run scored in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Orioles.
Impact Ramirez has gone 11-for-29 (.379) with five home runs, 11 RBI and four steals over his last eight games. He's been held hitless just once in that span. The third baseman continues to do it all for the Guardians -- in addition to his 29 homers and 22 steals, he's slashing .277/.329/.541 with 93 RBI and 84 runs scored over 108 contests. If he continues to run with some regularity, he has a chance to earn the second 30-30 campaign of his career.
AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE
Steven Kwan - Two steals in Sunday's loss Kwan went 2-for-3 with two walks, one RBI, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Orioles.
Impact Kwan is 5-for-14 with five walks and three steals over four contests to begin August. The outfielder had just two thefts over 25 games in July. He dealt with a hamstring injury earlier in the campaign, but he appears to be comfortable enough to up his impact on the basepaths moving forward. Kwan is slashing .333/.392/.482 with 11 home runs, nine steals, 32 RBI, 64 runs scored, 14 doubles and two triples over 85 contests this season.

Impact Naylor extended his hit streak to eight games Sunday, tagging Corbin Burnes for a three-run shot in the fifth inning. During that stretch, Naylor is 12-for-29 with two homers, nine RBI and seven runs scored. The first baseman has 24 long balls on the year and a .250/.329/.487 slash line across 430 plate appearances.

The 24-year-old entered Sunday having allowed one home run in 26.0 big-league innings. However, he was tagged for a pair of home runs in the fourth inning, ending his day at 86 pitches. The right-hander has a 4.91 ERA with a 39:13 K:BB across 33.0 innings this season. He's on track to pitch during a four-game set against the Twins next weekend.
