It has been a quiet entry into the big leagues for Kyle Manzardo. “It's been challenging to be sure,” said Manzardo before Saturday night's game against the Twins. Manzardo is hitting .148 (4 for 27) in 10 games. When he arrived from Class AAA Columbus after the Guardians placed Steven Kwan on the injured list on May 5, he was hitting .303 with 10 doubles, nine homers and 20 RBI for the Clippers.
Guardians leadoff hitter and left fielder Steven Kwan took batting practice on Friday for the first time since hurting his left hamstring and going on the injured list. Kwan was leading the AL in hitting when he was pulled from a May 4 game with tightness in his hamstring. The two-time Gold Glove winner was placed on the 15-day IL on May 6, and the team said at the time it would be at least four weeks before he returned to the lineup. “He's progressing well,” manager Stephen Vogt said before Friday's series opener against Minnesota.
Jose Ramirez is the “heart” of the Cleveland Guardians roster. Ramirez, 32, signed a seven-year, $141 million contract in 2022. Now in his 12th major league season, all with Cleveland, Ramirez has been an All Star five times. Ramirez, however, has company on the Guardians in two consequential players earning accolades among the game's stars.
