Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Bumpy outing at Camden Yards
Rotowire
Bibee didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Orioles, coughing up five runs on six hits and a walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out one.
Four of the six hits off Bibee went for extra bases, including a two-run homer by Pete Alonso in the fifth inning that chased him from the game. The right-hander has been tagged for five earned runs in three of his last six starts, a stretch in which he's gone 1-4 with a 5.79 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 23:14 K:BB in 32.2 innings. Bibee will try to right the ship in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home early next week against the White Sox.

Guardians' Angel Martinez: Makes fourth straight start
Rotowire
Martinez started in right field and went 2-for-5 with a triple and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-5 win over Baltimore.
Martinez tripled and scored in the second inning and then singled and scored in the seventh. He made a fourth consecutive start, as Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt navigates around an injury to Chase DeLauter (wrist), who has missed the last four contests. Martinez has rebounded nicely from a three-month slumber that saw him slash .193/.228/.360 over 43 games between May and July. The outfielder is batting .303 (30-for-99) with seven doubles, one triple, three home runs and 17 RBI over 30 games since Aug. 1.

Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Heating up
Rotowire
Bazzana went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Orioles.
Bazzana launched a three-run shot in the second inning as the Guardians raced to a 6-0 lead after three innings. The rookie has hit safely in four consecutive games, going 7-for-14 with two doubles, two homers and eight RBI during that run. Bazzana's bat is showing life once again after a languid August (.566 OPS).
Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Out again with wrist issue
Rotowire
DeLauter (wrist) is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's tilt in Baltimore.
He's missing a fourth straight contest due to a sprained right wrist. DeLauter reported improvement pregame Monday and seems to be trending toward avoiding the injured list. However, with the Guardians having an off day looming Thursday, it wouldn't be a surprise if DeLauter remains out until Friday. Angel Martinez will be in right field, and Jo Adell will serve as the designated hitter Tuesday.

Guardians' Nathaniel Lowe: Drills pinch-hit homer in loss
Rotowire
Lowe entered Monday's game as a pinch hitter and hit a three-run home run in a 6-4 loss to the Orioles.
Lowe, who opened the game on the bench against a left-handed starter, reached for an Andrew Kittredge slider down in the zone in the ninth inning and sent it over the fence in right field. It was his fourth home run, along with 19 RBI, over 28 games since joining the Guardians at the trade deadline. Lowe has become Cleveland's primary starter against right-handed pitching and will continue in that role as the team competes for a berth in the postseason.
Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Ineffective in ninth loss
Rotowire
Cantillo (9-9) took the loss against Baltimore on Monday, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks in 2.1 innings. He struck out three.
Cantillo looked to be a step slow for a rare Monday afternoon start, landing only 35 of his 72 pitches for strikes. It was his shortest outing since the beginning of June, excluding a rain-shortened Aug. 9 start against the White Sox, and he's now conceded four earned runs in back-to-back appearances after giving up two runs or fewer in his prior six. The southpaw will look to right the ship this weekend in Minnesota, where he'll tote a 4.00 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 154:77 K:BB over 144 innings.

Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Hitting bench against lefty
Rotowire
Bazzana is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
Since being promoted to the big leagues April 28, the left-handed-hitting Bazzana has submitted a weak .188./296/.231 slash line (58 wRC+) over 135 plate appearances against left-handed pitching. He'll head to the bench Monday while southpaw Trevor Rogers toes the rubber for the Orioles.

Guardians' Nathaniel Lowe: Taking seat against left-hander
Rotowire
Lowe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
The left-handed-hitting Lowe will hit the bench for the third time in four games while Baltimore sends southpaw Trevor Rogers to the bump in the series opener. David Fry will spell Lowe at first base and will bat fifth.

Guardians' Patrick Bailey: On bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Bailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
Austin Hedges has been the Guardians' preferred option at catcher against left-handed pitching, so he'll get the nod over Bailey on Monday while the Orioles send southpaw Trevor Rogers to the mound.

Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Not starting Monday, but improving
Rotowire
Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said that DeLauter (wrist), who is out of the lineup for Monday's contest against the Orioles, is "feeling a lot better" and will do some hitting pregame, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Vogt reiterated that he considers DeLauter's sprained right wrist a "day-to-day" situation that isn't going to force him to the injured list. Though Angel Martinez will get the nod in right field in the series opener, DeLauter could be back in the lineup Tuesday if he doesn't experience any setbacks following his workout Monday.

Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Remaining out of lineup Monday
Rotowire
DeLauter (wrist) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
The Guardians will hold DeLauter out of the starting nine for a third straight contest while he tends to a sprained right wrist. According to MLB.com, DeLauter was expected to test out his wrist Sunday by swinging a bat, but it's not clear how he fared in that workout. Angel Martinez will draw the start in right field Monday and would stand to benefit the most from a playing-time standpoint if DeLauter requires a trip to the injured list.

Guardians' Travis Bazzana: Logs third straight multi-hit effort
Rotowire
Bazzana went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and was caught stealing in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Tigers.
Bazzana hit the second of back-to-back doubles in the first inning to knock in the Guardians' first run. He later singled in the eighth inning to give him a third straight two-hit game. Bazzana is 6-for-15 with two doubles, a home run and five RBI in six September contests.

Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Goes deep in win
Rotowire
Rocchio went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Detroit.
Rocchio's solo shot in the fifth inning tied the game and set up the eventual extra inning. He's homered three times in the last four games. Rocchio's experienced a noticeable drop-off in the second half, posting a .548 OPS since the All-Star break, but his 13-homer, 18-steal season overall has been helpful for fantasy managers.
The Guardians outrighted Hernandez to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
After he sustained a broken right femur and broken left arm in a January car accident back in Venezuela, Hernandez didn't see game action until July 7, when he began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. He eventually settled in at Columbus following the All-Star break and pitched well enough to earn a September call-up to the Guardians, albeit a brief one. The 29-year-old was designated for assignment after giving up two runs in three innings over a pair of appearances. After clearing waivers, Hernandez will stick around the organization and will report back to Columbus.
