Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Working as opener Sunday
Sandlin will serve as the Guardians' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Astros, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Sandlin will make his second start of the regular season Sunday, with Gavin Williams expected to serve in bulk relief. Sandlin's first start came Aug. 26 against the Royals, when he allowed two walks while striking out two batters in one scoreless inning. Sandlin has a 3.75 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 68:27 K:BB across 57.2 innings this season.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Picks up eighth win
Sandlin (8-0) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win over the White Sox on Wednesday.
The Guardians never trailed in the contest, but starter Matthew Boyd needed 95 pitches to get through 4.1 innings. Sandlin took over in the fifth and secured his first win since Aug. 12. Over his last 12 appearances, Sandlin has given up four runs across 10.1 innings with a 12:7 K:BB. He's now at a 3.78 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 63:25 K:BB while adding a save and eight holds over 52.1 innings as a middle reliever this year.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Opening first game of twin bill
Sandlin is scheduled to serve as the Guardians' opening pitcher for the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Royals, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
The 27-year-old right-hander will be making his first career MLB start Monday, but because he hasn't been recorded more than five outs in any of his 57 appearances between the majors and Triple-A Columbus this season, he shouldn't be expected to work more than an inning or two. The Guardians are designating lefty Joey Cantillo as their 27th man for the twin bill, and he's expected to be recalled from Triple-A in advance of the early game to serve as a bulk reliever behind Sandlin.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Collects seventh win
Sandlin (7-0) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning to earn the win Monday over the Cubs.
Sandlin also took a blown save after allowing an inherited runner to score, but the Guardians regained the lead in the bottom of the eighth to make him the pitcher of record. This was Sandlin's first win in nearly a month. He's been a little shaky with a 4.40 ERA and 1.60 WHIP over 14.1 innings since the start of July. For the year, he's at a 3.80 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 52:19 K:BB with a save and six holds through 42.2 innings.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Nabs win Saturday
Sandlin (6-0) allowed a hit and struck out one over a scoreless inning to earn the win Saturday over the Rays.
Sandlin's been a little shaky since returning from a minimum stay on the injured list due to a back injury. This was just his third scoreless appearance in six outings since he was activated. The right-hander is now at a 3.74 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 37:15 K:BB with a save, four holds and two blown saves over 33.2 innings this season. Sandlin will likely remain in a middle-relief role until he can steady his performance.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Returns from injured list
The Guardians activated Sandlin (back) from the 15-day injured list Thursday.
Sandlin required just a minimum stay on the IL due to lower-back inflammation. He has a 3.49 ERA in 33 appearances this year and will return to a middle-relief role now that he's healthy.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Sent out on rehab assignment
Sandlin (back) has been sent to Triple-A Columbus to begin a rehab assignment.
Sandlin went on the 15-day injured list two weeks ago with lower-back inflammation but is ready to test things out in a game setting. Since he hasn't missed much time, Sandlin shouldn't require too many rehab outings before being activated.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Shelved with back inflammation
The Guardians placed Sandlin on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with lower back inflammation, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
Sandlin's move to the IL comes three days after he was lit up for three earned runs on three hits and two walks while failing to record an out in his relief appearance in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Blue Jays. The Guardians called up right-hander Darren McCaughan from Triple-A Columbus to replace Sandlin in the bullpen.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Secures win Sunday
Sandlin (5-0) pitched a perfect inning to earn the win Sunday over the Marlins.
The Guardians took the lead in the seventh inning after Sandlin worked the sixth, making him the pitcher of record. While he's allowed multiple runs in two of his last nine outings, he hasn't been charged with a run in his other seven appearances in that span. Sandlin is at a 2.63 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB over 27.1 innings this season while adding a save, four holds and a blown save. The strength of the Guardians' bullpen has kept him from seeing more consistent high-leverage work, as he continues to see mostly middle-innings assignments.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Working as opener Wednesday
Sandlin will serve as the Guardians' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Logan Allen had been in line to start Wednesday's contest, but the Guardians will instead make him available out of the bullpen while Sandlin handles the first inning or two. The 27-year-old right-hander owns a 2.77 ERA and 0.77 WHIP through 26 innings on the season and will be making the first start of his professional career Wednesday.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Notches fourth win
Sandlin (4-0) walked one and struck out two without allowing a hit or a run over two-thirds of an inning to earn the win Tuesday over the Mets.
Starter Xzavion Curry went 4.1 innings, falling short of qualifying for the win. Sandlin stepped up to finish the fifth inning, working his way out of a bases-loaded jam. The right-hander has kept runs off the board in all but three of his 26 appearances, though he has given up multiple runs in each of those three missteps. He's still pitched to a rock-solid 2.35 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 27:7 K:BB with a save and three holds over 23 innings while filling a fireman role in the Guardians' bullpen.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Collects third win
Sandlin (3-0) allowed a hit and struck out one without walking a batter over 1.1 innings to earn the win Monday over the Tigers.
Sandlin is on a six-inning scoreless streak, during which he has permitted three baserunners (two hits, one hit batsman). The right-hander has been a go-to option for manager Stephen Vogt -- Sandlin is already up to 19 appearances this season, tied with teammates Emmanuel Clase and Scott Barlow for the major-league lead. Through 17.2 innings, Sandlin has pitched to a 2.04 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 20:3 K:BB while adding a save and two holds. He's not a full-time high-leverage reliever, but he's been steady for a strong Guardians bullpen when called upon.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Notches first career save
Sandlin picked up a save against Atlanta on Saturday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning of work.
Regular Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase pitched a scoreless ninth frame to send the game into extra innings, so Sandlin was handed the ball with the Guardians up two runs in the 11th. The right-hander didn't have any trouble getting through the heart of the Atlanta lineup, retiring Ronald Acuna, Ozzie Albies and Austin Riley in order on just 11 pitches. There's no arguing that this was an impressive performance by Sandlin, but with Clase locked in as one of the league's most secure closers, it's unlikely Sandlin gets many more save chances moving forward.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Claims second win
Sandlin (2-0) struck out two and didn't allow a hit or a walk over a scoreless inning to earn the win Saturday over the Twins.
Starter Carlos Carrasco labored through three innings, and Sandlin relieved him in the fourth. Sandlin did well in that frame, but he hit a batter and allowed another to reach on a fielder's choice in the fifth before exiting for Cade Smith, who escaped the jam. Sandlin is through 4.2 scoreless and hitless innings to open the year while adding an 8:3 K:BB and two hit batsmen. The right-hander has served in more of a fireman capacity so far, and his lack of high-leverage opportunities gives him little fantasy appeal.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Snags win Saturday
Sandlin (1-0) struck out two and hit one batter in a scoreless inning to earn the win Saturday over the Athletics. He did not walk a batter or allow a hit.
Tanner Bibee was inefficient with five walks in a four-inning start. Sandlin took care of the fifth inning and was credited for the win as the Guardians' bullpen pitched five hitless innings. Sandlin has four strikeouts over two innings this season, and he's yet to walk a batter or give up a hit. He's not in the high-leverage mix for 2024, but he had a 3.75 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 10 holds over 61 appearances in 2023.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Solid early in spring
Sandlin has allowed an unearned run on two hits and a walk with one strikeout over three Cactus League innings.
Sandlin lost his high-leverage role and stumbled late in 2023, but he's back with the Guardians in 2024. The right-hander will likely have to earn a late-innings role this year, as the offseason addition of Scott Barlow means the team has its preferred options in place for the eighth and ninth innings, with Emmanuel Clase as closer. Sandlin went 5-5 with a 3.75 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 66:24 K:BB over 60 innings last season, and he added 10 holds.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Avoids arbitration with Cleveland
Sandlin signed a one-year, $1.1 million contract with the Guardians on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Sandlin threw a career-high 60 innings during 2023 and posted an impressive all-around season by maintaining a 3.75 ERA and 1.03 WHIP to go along with a 66:24 K:BB. He should maintain a key spot in Cleveland's bullpen in 2024.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Ends year in shaky form
Sandlin allowed five runs over his last 9.2 innings this season.
Sandlin got shuffled out of the high-leverage mix when the Guardians bolstered their bullpen with waiver claims at the end of August. He picked up 10 holds this year, two of which came in September. The right-hander finished the campaign with a 3.75 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 66:24 K:BB over 60 innings, and he also registered a 5-5 record in 61 appearances.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Takes another loss
Sandlin (5-5) allowed one run on one hit without recording an out to take the loss in Friday's 9-8 defeat at the hands of the Rays.
Sandlin served up a walk-off solo home run to Wander Franco just three pitches into his ninth-inning appearance after the Guardians had rallied to tie the game. With three runs allowed over three innings plus two losses to begin August, it's been a rough stretch for Sandlin. He has a 3.65 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 49:16 K:BB through 44.1 innings this season.

Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Handed loss Wednesday
Sandlin (5-4) allowed a run on a hit and a walk over two-thirds of an inning to take the loss versus the Astros on Wednesday.
Sandlin surrendered a sixth-inning solo shot to Chas McCormick that was the final run of a 3-2 game. It's been a rough patch for Sandlin lately -- he's been scored on in five of his last seven appearances. That's pushed his ERA up to 3.64 with a 0.98 WHIP and 47:16 K:BB through 42 innings overall. He's added five holds, but he's likely to remain in lower-leverage assignments until he can steady his pitching.
