DeLauter Back as Guardians Navigate Injuries

Chase DeLauter’s return is a major boost for the Cleveland Guardians, activated off the injured list just before Sunday’s game against Seattle after fracturing a rib in a collision with the outfield wall. His comeback comes amid a rough stretch for the team — José Ramírez underwent surgery for a hand fracture and is sidelined at least six weeks, while Angel Martínez also went on the IL with a foot fracture. Since Ramírez’s injury, the Guardians have gone 4-7. DeLauter, who was having a solid rookie season (.263, 7 HR, 34 RBI in 66 games), is now back in the lineup, and to make room, outfielder Petey Halpin was sent down to Triple-A Columbus. The Guardians are counting on DeLauter to help turn things around. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
