Guardians Struggle After All-Star Break | Cleveland Guardians News

With just 40 games left and an 8-17 skid since the All-Star break, Cleveland’s playoff hopes hang by a thread. José Ramírez is struggling offensively after surgery, but showed glimmers of power in Detroit. Brayan Rocchio’s slump continues, and the team’s inability to deliver with runners in scoring position remains a glaring weakness. While pitching has held up, consistent hitting is the key to unlocking their season — and they’re hoping recent offensive gains can turn the tide before it’s too late.
