Hunter Gaddis - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Three strikeouts in no-decision Gaddis did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Cardinals. He struck out three.

Impact Gaddis allowed three solo home runs to the Cardinals but was let off the hook thanks to a walk-off, two-run double by Jose Ramirez. The right-hander sports a 5.72 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB across six starts (28.1 innings), but he's likely transitioning to a relief role or heading back to Triple-A Columbus soon, as Aaron Civale (oblique) and Triston McKenzie (shoulder) are both nearing a return to MLB.

Draws another start Gaddis is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Cardinals at Progressive Field.

Impact Though Aaron Civale (oblique) is available on normal rest Sunday and built up to 69 pitches in his latest rehab start at Triple-A Columbus, the Guardians seem to be leaning toward having him make another start in the minors prior to bringing him back from the 15-day injured list. As a result, Gaddis will get the opportunity to build on his strong showing in his return to the big leagues Monday, when he tossed six scoreless innings in a win over the White Sox. With Civale closing in on a return and Triston McKenzie (shoulder) not much further behind, Gaddis still appears likely to head to the bullpen or get optioned to Triple-A after Sunday's start.

Six scoreless innings in win Gaddis (1-1) earned the win Monday, tossing six scoreless innings in which he allowed two hits and one walk during a 3-0 win over the White Sox. He struck out four.

Impact After a month at Triple-A Columbus, Gaddis was called up to the big-league club ahead of Monday's contest and made his sixth start of the season. It was the second time he completed at least six scoreless frames, lowering his ERA from 6.86 to 5.26. Gaddis hasn't been a major strikeout pitcher yet, but he's been able to take care of business more often than not in 2023, as the majority of the damage done to his ERA came during a tumultuous outing versus the Yankees on April 11. Gaddis figures to get at least one more turn in the rotation after his stellar outing against Chicago, but he's not guaranteed a spot in the rotation when Triston McKenzie (shoulder) and (Aaron Civale) finish their rehab assignments.

Officially called up Gaddis was called up from Triple-A Columbus and will start Monday against the White Sox, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

Impact As expected, Gaddis will join the Guardians ahead of their three-game series with the White Sox on Monday, drawing the start in the series opener. The 25-year-old has struggled to a 6.86 ERA and 1.42 WHIP over 19.2 innings in the big leagues this season, but most of the damage came April 11 against the Yankees, when he surrendered eight runs over three frames. Gaddis will look to kick off his second stint in the big leagues a little better Monday when he takes on a disappointing Chicago team.

MAY 21, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Set to start Monday Gaddis is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Columbus to start Monday against the White Sox, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gaddis has a 6.86 ERA across 19.2 innings for Cleveland this season and will rejoin the big-league rotation for the series opener versus Chicago. The 25-year-old isn't guaranteed to stick in the rotation beyond Monday's contest, especially with Triston McKenzie (shoulder) and Aaron Civale (oblique) on rehab assignments and nearing their returns from the injured list.

En route to Triple-A The Guardians optioned Gaddis to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

Impact As expected, Gaddis will return to the minors after he was called up from Columbus to serve as the Guardians' 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader with the Marlins. Though he turned in a scoreless two-inning relief appearance in Cleveland's 6-1 loss in Game 1, Gaddis' poor body of work in four starts with the big club earlier this season has removed him from consideration for a spot in the Guardians' rotation at this time. Instead, Logan Allen -- who was promoted from Triple-A to take the hill for Sunday's series finale with Miami -- will at least temporarily settle in as the Guardians' new No. 5 starter.

Impact The appearance was Gaddis' fifth of the season with the big club but his first out of the bullpen after he had been included in the Opening Day rotation before being sent out to Columbus after posting a 7.64 and 1.58 WHIP across 17.2 innings through his first four starts. He'll likely be sent back to Columbus to continue making regular starts, but Gaddis doesn't look like he'll be the top choice to rejoin the big-league rotation if Cal Quantrill (leg) is forced to miss his next start.

Optioned to Triple-A Cleveland optioned Gaddis to Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 25-year-old is being sent down to make room for infield prospect Brayan Rocchio on the roster. Gaddis struggled for the most part over his four starts with a 7.64 ERA and 12:6 K:BB over 17.2 innings. The Guardians could turn to Gaddis to make starts again, but there are other internal options like top prospect Tanner Bibbee that could get a chance to start as well.

No-decision in Tuesday's matinee Gaddis didn't factor into the decision in a 4-3 loss to the Tigers during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader. He gave up three runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings...

Impact The 25-year-old was able to last at least five frames for the second time in four starts to begin the year, but Gaddis hasn't done much more than take a bit of pressure off the bullpen. His 7.64 ERA and 12:6 K:BB through 17.2 innings aren't impressive, but unless the Guardians accelerate their internal timeline for promoting a prospect like Tanner Bibee, Gaddis will likely keep his spot in the rotation. His next turn lines up for a potential weekend start at home against the Marlins.

APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Guardians-Tigers postponed Gaddis won't start against the Tigers on Monday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Detroit, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact The Guardians and Tigers are set to make up the postponed game as part of a split doubleheader Tuesday. Gaddis will presumably start one of the two games for Cleveland, while Peyton Battenfield takes the hill for the other contest.

APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in loss Gaddis (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, allowing eight runs on eight hits and two walks over three innings against the Yankees. He struck out three.

Impact Gaddis has pitched poorly in two of his three starts to begin the year, with the one exception being six shutout innings against the rebuilding Athletics last Wednesday. The right-hander was staked a 2-0 lead, but he gave up a run in the second and five more in the third with three of them coming on a blast by Franchy Cordero. He'd allow two more in the fourth without getting an out to see his ERA balloon to 8.53 on the season. Gaddis is lined up to face the Tigers early next week.

Fires six shutout, one-hit frames Gaddis was tagged with a no-decision against Oakland on Wednesday despite pitching six scoreless innings. He allowed one hit and two walks while striking out four batters.

Impact Gaddis gave up four runs over 3.2 innings against Seattle in his season debut, but he was much improved against the A's. The right-hander gave up only one hit -- a Jesus Aguilar double -- and breezed through six innings on 77 pitches. He departed in line for the win, but Cleveland's bullpen couldn't hold the lead as the game eventually went into extra innings. Gaddis is in the rotation due to Triston McKenzie's arm injury, and his performance Wednesday will almost certainly earn him at least another start. His next outing may be more challenging, however, as it's tentatively lined up to come against the Yankees.

Second start awaits Gaddis is listed as the Guardians' probable starting pitcher for Wednesday's game in Oakland.

Impact Though he was lit up for four earned runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four in 3.2 innings in his 2023 debut Friday in Seattle, Gaddis will get at least one more chance to better solidify himself as the Guardians' No. 5 starter while Triston McKenzie (lat) is on the shelf. While the matchup with a punchless Oakland offense is a good one on paper, Gaddis' uninspiring track record through three career MLB starts makes it difficult to trust him as a streaming option.

APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Early exit against M's Gaddis didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 9-4 win over the Mariners, giving up four runs on five hits and a walk over 3.2 innings. He struck out four.

Impact While the right-hander was able to keep the ball in the park, Gaddis gave up plenty of loud contact as three of the five hits off him went for extra bases. He also produced only five swinging strikes among his 70 pitches, a poor recipe for future success. Gaddis will hold down the fort in the rotation for now while Triston McKenzie (shoulder) is sidelined, but another shaky start or two could cause him to get bumped aside, whether by another depth option like Konnor Pilkington or by a top prospect who has a hot start at Triple-A, such as Tanner Bibee.
