Seiya Suzuki - Returns as designated hitterSuzuki (neck) will bat cleanup and serve as the designated hitter Saturday against Cleveland.

ImpactSuzuki missed the last three games due to a stiff neck, but he's ready to go in at least a limited capacity Saturday. Christopher Morel will be the right fielder Saturday, but if Suzuki gets through the game without issues, it's likely he'll be able to return to the field soon.

Will Brennan - Prevents shutout FridayBrennan went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-1 loss to the Cubs.

ImpactBrennan helped the Guardians avoid a shutout loss with his solo shot in the ninth inning. He took control of a starting role in right field by slashing .333/.363/.529 with three homers, 14 RBI, two stolen bases, six runs scored and eight doubles over 24 contests in June. The 25-year-old is up to a .274/.306/.413 slash line through 71 games this season, and with a reasonable .302 BABIP and 14.6 percent strikeout rate, he's poised to continue having success with a contact-based approach.

Michael Fulmer - Pitching better this monthFulmer, who pitched 1.1 scoreless innings in Friday's 10-1 win over the Guardians, has a 0.66 ERA across 13.2 innings this month.

ImpactFulmer has only been scored upon once in 12 June appearances, and he has also registered 14 strikeouts across the 13.2 innings. The veteran entered the month with a 7.36 ERA for the season, but he's been able to lower that to 4.79. Fulmer seems to have regained his form as a reliable reliever, though he's not seeing save chances with the Cubs, so his fantasy value remains limited.
