Stephen's Injury Sets Back Guardians Prospect
Description
Guardians’ top pitching prospect Khal Stephen is sidelined on the seven-day injured list after just one inning due to elbow soreness, dashing his promising season and raising concerns for a player they highly value. Acquired in the Shane Bieber trade, Stephen was showing strong form with a 3.44 ERA and 49 strikeouts in 55 innings at Double-A Akron — but his history with injuries, including a prior shoulder issue, adds to the worry. The Guardians had eyed him before the draft, and now they’re hoping this setback is minor and he can return quickly — because they’re counting on him.
