Guardians' Pitching Struggles in September | Cleveland Guardians News

With September looming and playoff hopes on the line, the team’s decision to stick with a five-man rotation instead of a six-man setup (which worked last year) looks increasingly risky. Griffin, a veteran overseas but still a rookie in innings this season, is just one of several young arms—including Joey Cantillo and Parker Messick—showing clear signs of fatigue. As the Guardians face just 15 games left, their once-sturdy rotation is fraying at the seams, forcing tough calls for the manager as they race to secure a wild-card spot.
