  • Guardians' Tyler Freeman: Brought up for ALDS

    Freeman is included on the Guardians' roster for the ALDS versus Detroit.

    Freeman ended the regular season in the minors after struggling to a .209/.305/.321 slash line throughout the campaign. His inclusion on the ALDS roster gives Cleveland added versatility, as Freeman made at least one start at second base, third base, shortstop and center field this season. Freeman also gives the team speed off the bench -- he stole 11 bags in 17 attempts during the campaign.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: Not starting Game 1 of ALDS

    Brennan is not in Cleveland's lineup for Game 1 of the American League Division Series versus Detroit.

    Brennan started all three games during the Guardians' final series of the regular season against Houston, playing twice in right field and once in left field. However, Jhonkensy Noel will start in right field in the first game of the ALDS while Steven Kwan gets the start in left. Brennan plays mostly against right-handed pitchers, and Detroit is opening Game 1 with southpaw Tyler Holton, which likely explains Brennan's exclusion from the lineup. However, Brennan could enter the game at some point, as righty Reese Olson is expected to work in bulk relief Saturday.

  • Guardians' Jhonkensy Noel: Starting in Game 1 of ALDS

    Noel is starting in right field and batting seventh Saturday against Detroit in Game 1 of the ALDS.

    Will Brennan got the start in right field in two of the Guardians' final three regular-season games, but Noel is getting the call for the first game of the ALDS against the Tigers. Detroit is slated to use left-hander Tyler Holton as the opener in the contest, and righty Reese Olson is expected to follow in bulk relief. Noel batted .246 against southpaws and just .205 versus righties during the regular season.

  • Guardians' Alex Cobb: Activated from IL for ALDS

    Cobb (finger) is included on the Guardians' ALDS roster.

    Cobb ended the regular season on the injured list due to a right finger blister, but his inclusion on the roster for the division series versus the Tigers suggests he's recovered. It's unclear if Cobb will be asked to start a game during the series or if he will serve as an option out of the bullpen. The right-hander posted a 2.76 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB over 16.1 innings across three starts during the regular season.

  • Guardians' Ben Lively: Left off ALDS roster

    Lively is not included on the Guardians' roster for the American League Division Series versus Detroit.

    Lively was a key part of Cleveland's rotation during the regular season, posting a 3.81 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 118:49 K:BB over 151 innings across 29 starts while going 13-10. He had a few poor starts near the end of the campaign and logged a 4.53 ERA along with a 1.39 WHIP over the final two months, which may have played a part in the decision to leave him off roster for the ALDS. The starting pitchers on Cleveland's ALDS roster include Tanner Bibee, Gavin Williams, Matthew Boyd and Alex Cobb (finger).

  • Guardians' Matthew Boyd: In line to start Game 2 of ALDS

    Boyd is expected to start for Cleveland in Game 2 of the ALDS versus Detroit, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    It will be a revenge game for Boyd, who pitched for the Tigers from 2015 to 2021 and again in 2023. The left-hander joined the Guardians for the 2024 campaign and began the season on the IL with an elbow injury before making his Cleveland debut Aug. 13. In the majors, Boyd registered a 2.72 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 46:13 K:BB over 39.2 innings across eight starts. Ben Lively, who made 29 starts for Cleveland during the campaign, was left off the team's ALDS roster.

  • Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Named Game 1 starter

    Bibee will start Saturday in Game 1 of the ALDS, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    Bibee was the obvious choice for the Guardians' first playoff game after putting up a 3.47 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 187:44 K:BB over 173.2 innings covering 31 starts during the regular season. The 25-year-old has pitched well of late with a 2.64 ERA in five September outings.
