Jake Odorizzi - Back on mound TuesdayOdorizzi (lower leg) completed a 25-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
ImpactOdorizzi was back on the mound just eight days after he suffered what looked to be a severe leg injury during his start against the Red Sox. Follow-up tests on Odorizzi's right leg revealed some strains and sprains to ligaments in his foot and ankle, but none are believed to be significant, given that he was already cleared to resume playing catch last weekend. The bullpen session represents another step forward in the recovery process for Odorizzi, who suggested after the workout that he's close to heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Steven Kwan - Not in Tuesday's lineupKwan will sit Tuesday against the Astros.
ImpactKwan burst onto the scene with eight hits in his first three games, but since then, he's hit a very pedestrian .212/.310/.303. As a result, he seems to have slipped into something close to a platoon role, as his off day here against Framber Valdez means he's now sat against five of the last seven southpaws the Guardians have faced. Ernie Clement will start in left field while Oscar Mercado starts in right.

Andrés Giménez - Sits against southpawGimenez will be on the bench against lefty Framber Valdez and the Astros on Tuesday.
ImpactGimenez has been facing lefties a bit more often recently after exclusively starting against righties early in the year, but he's now been on the bench against the last two southpaws the Guardians have faced, so that may be changing again. Owen Miller will start at second base Tuesday while Amed Rosario starts at shortstop.

ImpactDaniels has struggled this season with Triple-A Columbus, producing a 7.16 ERA and 1.68 WHIP with 15 strikeouts over 16.1 innings in 11 appearances. He'll now drop down a notch and look to get back on the right track with Akron before potentially rejoining Columbus at some point this summer.
