The Cleveland Guardians are expected to call up top prospect Kyle Manzardo, according to a report.

The Guardians acquired Manzardo from the Tampa Bay Rays at least year's trade deadline in exchange for Aaron Civale.

A second-round pick out of Washington State, Manzardo has batted .303/.375/.642 for Triple-A Columbus with nine homers and 10 doubles in 29 games. 

Cleveland Guardians left fielder Steven Kwan is headed to the injured list with a hamstring strain, according to multiple reports.

Kwan, who entered the weekend leading the American League in batting, underwent an MRI after leaving Saturday's game with tightness.

Before getting hurt while running down a fly ball, the 26-year-old was batting .353 with a league-leading 47 hits and 28 runs. 

The Cleveland Guardians acquired right-hander Pedro Avila from the San Diego Padres for cash on Wednesday.

In a corresponding move, the Guardians transferred infielder Angel Martinez to the 60-day injured list.

Josh Naylor and his younger brother, Bo, both hit home runs in the same inning Wednesday night for the Cleveland Guardians in their 7-6 win over the Chicago White Sox.

The performance came on National Siblings Day.

Josh Naylor connected for a solo homer with one out in the fourth off Chicago's Erick Fedde, and Bo Naylor smashed a two-run shot to center field two batters later.

The Naylors were unaware their performances came on a day to celebrate siblings.

"Not a clue," said Bo Naylor, who is 24. "So it's kind of crazy to be able to share a home run in the same inning with him."

Josh Naylor, 26, said he always felt playing alongside his younger brother was possible.

"I dreamt of it as a kid," he said. "I knew it would come true eventually if we just keep working hard. So it's not really a shock to me. I kind of believed in it from day one and I knew that if we just continue to work hard at our craft, we'd either play against each other or play with each other."

Guardians ace Shane Bieber will have season-ending Tommy John elbow surgery, a major blow to the team and the 2020 Cy Young winner.

Bieber, who missed several months last season with elbow issues, experienced pain following an Opening Day start in Oakland and again this week against Seattle. The right-hander underwent imaging tests, and reconstructive surgery on his ulnar collateral ligament was recommended by several doctors.

The recovery time can take up to 16 months following the surgery.

Shane Bieber will start on Opening Day for the Cleveland Guardians for the fifth-straight season.

The 2020 American League Cy Young winner has had a solid spring training after making just 21 starts last season due to elbow issues.

Bieber went 6-6 with a 3.80 ERA last season but was sidelined from mid-July until late September.

The Guardians open March 28 in Oakland.

Longtime major league outfielder Kole Calhoun is retiring, he announced Friday night via Instagram.

"The day has come that I announce my retirement from Major League Baseball," Calhoun, 36, began his post. "I know how extremely lucky I am to even be able to say that. Baseball was always my dream, and to make that my reality fills me with gratitude.

"I have loved this game since I can remember so making this announcement weighs heavy on my heart. This day comes for all players eventually and I can honestly say that I have given this game everything I have and I walk away with no regrets."

The Cleveland Guardians have moved their 2024 home opener against the Chicago White Sox back to 5:10 p.m. on April 8 due to a total solar eclipse, an event that hasn't happened in Northeast Ohio since 1806 and won't again until 2444.

The club said Thursday that the ballpark's gates will open at 2 p.m., giving fans a chance to observe the eclipse, which will begin at 1:59 p.m. The peak will arrive at 3:13 p.m. and last four minutes.

The Guardians have typically played their opener at 4:10 p.m. but adjusted the start time after consulting with city officials who are expecting Cleveland's downtown to be crowded with visitors for the rare eclipse.

The team is urging fans to plan accordingly and use public transit if possible.

Two-time American League Cy Young Award winner Corey Kluber announced his retirement on social media Friday morning, ending a 13-year career.

A three-time All-Star, Kluber won his first Cy Young with Cleveland in 2014 after going 18-9 with a 2.44 ERA. He won the award again in 2017, finishing 18-4 with a 2.25 ERA.

Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase continues to be a popular target on the trade market, according to a report.

A trade appears unlikely to occur soon as Clase is under team control through the 2028 season. His contract also won't pay him more than $5 million annually until 2026.

Clase, 25, is a two-time All-Star with a career 2.00 ERA and a 4.92 strikeout-to-walk ratio and 111 saves.
