Placed on injured list Chang was placed on the injured list for an unspecified reason Friday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Impact Chang didn't appear in any of the last three games, and he'll now be sidelined with an undisclosed injury. A timetable for Chang's return to action isn't yet clear.

Riding pine Saturday Chang is not in Saturday's lineup against the Royals, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Impact He went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts on Opening Day. Chang and Oscar Mercado seem like the two weakest links in Cleveland's primary group of hitters, so when Mercado starts in the outfield, as he is Saturday, Amed Rosario will shift to the infield and push Chang to the bench.

Draws Opening Day start at keystone Chang will start at second base and bat sixth Thursday against the Royals.
Impact Chang will be rewarded with an Opening Day start after he turned in a big spring training that included a .925 OPS over 36 at-bats in Cactus League play. The 26-year-old has typically seen most of his starts against left-handed pitchers over his last three seasons in the big leagues, but he'll be in the lineup versus a righty (Zack Greinke) on Thursday. Chang will likely need to prove he can hold his owns against righties for an extended stretch to hold down a full-time role, as the Guardians would have the ability to move Amed Rosario from left field to the middle infield if Chang can't get the job done at the plate.

Steady in spring Chang is hitting .438 with two home runs, two doubles, eight RBI and five runs scored through six Cactus League games.
Impact Chang once again enters the 2022 campaign without a guaranteed spot in the lineup. The 26-year-old bounced between Cleveland and Triple-A Columbus last season, posting a lackluster .228/.267/.426 slash line across 251 plate appearances in the majors. He's a versatile defender capable of playing all around the infield, but his best path to playing time this season is likely a short-side platoon at either first base with Bobby Bradley or second base with Andres Gimenez. Owen Miller and Ernie Clement will also likely push Chang for a bench role for the remainder of spring training.

Smacks homer in win Chang went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-0 win over Texas.
Impact The infielder showed some promise to end 2021, batting .310 (13-for-42) across his last 12 games. Chang wasn't able to secure an everyday role this year, slashing .228/.267/.426 with nine homers, one stolen base, 39 RBI and 32 runs scored in 251 plate appearances. His defensive versatility has done more to keep him on the big club's radar than his bat through his first three major-league seasons.

Hits bases-clearing triple Chang went 1-for-3 with a three-run triple during Tuesday's win over the Royals.
Impact Chang gave Cleveland an early lead with a one-out, bases-clearing triple against Daniel Lynch in the first inning. In his last four games, Chang has contributed a double, a triple and a home run. He is expected to see regular playing time against left-handed pitching over the final two weeks of the season.

Retreats to bench Chang is out of the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader with the Royals.
Impact After starting in four of the past five games while going 5-for-19 with a home run and a double, Chang will cede his spot in the Cleveland infield to Owen Miller. Chang should continue to play regularly versus left-handed pitching over the final two weeks of the season, but his path to steady at-bats versus right-handers will become more muddled when or if Amed Rosario (personal) returns from the bereavement list.

Racks up three hits in win Chang went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 11-1 win over the Yankees.
Impact The infielder has hit safely in just six of 14 games in September, but he's produced multiple hits in five of those contests. Chang had not recorded a three-hit effort this season prior to Sunday. He's posted a .224/.256/.420 slash line with eight home runs, 32 RBI, 29 runs scored and a stole base in 215 plate appearances as a versatile utility option for Cleveland.
