Episode Details

Chase DeLauter’s return to the Guardians lineup just in time for the season finale brings a spark of hope, though he admits sneezing and coughing still sting from his fractured rib. Batting .263 with seven homers and 34 RBIs, he’s stepping in as designated hitter — and part of a young core including rookies Travis Bazzana and Kahlil Watson, who are all getting major league reps together. Meanwhile, Jose Ramirez and Angel Martinez remain sidelined with serious injuries, expected back no earlier than late July or early August. To make room for DeLauter, outfielder Petey Halpin was sent down to Columbus after hitting just .170 in 28 games. The Guardians now face a critical stretch with their key players out — but DeLauter’s energy and the young core’s chemistry could be the team’s lifeline.
