Jhonkensy Noel - Slugs three-run homer Noel went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's win against the Phillies.

Impact Noel tied the game in the fourth inning with a three-run shot off Phillies starter Kolby Allard, his sixth home run of the season. The 23-year-old had been slumping since the All-Star break, batting just .143 with one home run, one RBI and one run scored in eight games before Sunday's breakout. The rookie has enjoyed a nice start to his career, batting .250 with six home runs, 11 RBI and seven runs scored in 23 games played.

Emmanuel Clase - Notches save No. 33 Clase struck out one batter in a perfect ninth inning to pick up his 33rd save of the season Sunday against the Phillies.

Impact Clase needed just seven pitches to secure the one-run victory for the Guardians, his fourth save in six days. The 26-year-old has been utterly dominant this season, pitching to a 0.73 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 42:6 K:BB in 49.1 innings. Clase is now tied with Ryan Helsley for the league lead in saves with 33.

Joey Cantillo - Struggles in debut Cantillo escaped with a no-decision in Sunday's win against the Phillies, allowing three earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three in 3.1 innings.

Impact Called up Sunday to make his MLB debut, Cantillo struggled against a potent Phillies offense. Kyle Schwarber took Cantillo deep two times - a leadoff home run in the opening frame and a two-run shot in the third. The 24-year-old southpaw struggled with command, walking three batters while using 75 pitches to get through 3.1 innings. If Cantillo remains in the Guardians rotation, he will line up to face the Orioles next weekend, another tough test for the rookie.

José Ramírez - Notches steal in loss Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Saturday's 8-0 loss to the Phillies.

Impact Ramirez had gone 13 games without a steal, and he hit a meager .235 with four extra-base hits in that span. The third baseman's rough July has taken a a bit of a hit on his overall numbers. He's now at a .270/.324/.509 slash line with 24 home runs, 19 steals, 82 RBI, 72 runs scored, 22 doubles and one triple through 101 contests.

Will Brennan - Sitting vs. southpaw Brennan is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Phillies.

Impact Brennan will retreat to the dugout Sunday with the Phillies sending left-hander Kolby Allard to the mound. Jhonkensy Noel will start in right field and bat fifth.

JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Schneemann - Idle vs. southpaw Schneemann is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Impact The lefty-hitting Schneemann will take a seat Sunday with Philadelphia sending southpaw Kolby Allard to the mound. Brayan Rocchio will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Naylor - Available off bench Sunday Naylor (undisclosed) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Phillies.

Impact Manager Stephen Vogt said Naylor was "beat up" and given a few days to recover from his various ailments, though he is available off the bench for the series finale Sunday, per Zack Meisel of The Athletic. Over his last 10 outings, Naylor has gone 5-for-34 with two RBI, four walks and seven strikeouts. David Fry will start at first base and bat in the cleanup spot.

JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Peter Strzelecki - Headed back to minors The Guardians optioned Strzelecki to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

Impact The move is to make room on the 26-man roster for left-hander Joey Cantillo, who will make his major-league debut Sunday against the Phillies. Strzelecki made four outings out of the Guardians' bullpen since being recalled from Columbus on July 21. Over those four outings, the 29-year-old right-hander allowed one run on five hits while striking out five across 4.2 innings. In 29 Triple-A appearances this season, Strzelecki has a 4.18 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 32.1 innings.

JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Xzavion Curry - Not starting Sunday Curry isn't starting Sunday's game against the Phillies as previously scheduled.

Impact The 26-year-old was initially penciled in to start Sunday, but the Guardians have instead called up Joey Cantillo to make his MLB debut. Curry allowed two runs over 4.1 innings during his previous start and has a 4.98 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB across 21.2 big-league innings this season. Matthew Boyd (elbow) is also nearing a return from the injured list, so Curry may not have many opportunities to start going forward.

JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Joey Cantillo - Called up for MLB debut The Guardians called up Cantillo from Triple-A Columbus to start Sunday's game against the Phillies, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact The 24-year-old missed the start of the Triple-A season due to a hamstring strain, but he's been effective since coming off the injured list in early June with a 2.79 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 39:19 K:BB over 29 innings. If he delivers a strong debut, Cantillo could receive multiple turns through the rotation for Cleveland.

JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Carrasco - Early exit in Philly Carrasco (3-9) took the loss Saturday, coughing up six runs on six hits and a walk over 3.2 innings as the Guardians fell 8-0 to the Phillies. He struck out five.

Impact The veteran right-hander put up goose eggs for three innings before the wheels came off in the fourth, beginning with a two-run homer by Bryce Harper. It was Carrasco's shortest outing since April 6, and he had given Cleveland at least five innings in seven straight starts coming into Saturday, although with less than stellar results. On the season, he sports a 5.68 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 79:27 K:BB through 95 innings. With the trade deadline looming, prospect Joey Cantillo getting a look Sunday and Matthew Boyd (elbow) getting stretched out in the minors, Carrasco's time in the rotation could be drawing to a close, but for now he's scheduled to make his next start at home next weekend against the Orioles.
