Guardians provide disheartening Shane Bieber update

3 weeks ago | awaybackgone.com | Henry Palattella

Welp. Earlier this week, the Cleveland Guardians announced that Shane Bieber had taken a huge step forward in his return to the field by moving his rehab assignment to Double-A Akron. It took about 48 hours for that plan to blow up. On Thursday, the Guardians relayed to the team’s beat that Bieber won’t go on his rehab assignment after he reported soreness in his arm after throwing a bullpen earlier this week. He’s meeting with team doctors and Dr. Keith Meister to figure out his next steps.
What should the Guardians do with Jhonkensy Noel?

3 weeks ago | awaybackgone.com | Henry Palattella

'Big Christmas' hasn't left many presents under the tree this season. On Oct. 17, 2024, Jhonkensy Noel etched himself into Cleveland baseball lore with one swing against the Yankees. With the Guardians staring down the barrel of a 3-0 series deficit against the Yankees, Noel sent a poorly-placed changeup into Progressive Field’s bleachers to save a struggling Cleveland offense.
3 surprising Guardians players who deserve serious All-Star consideration

3 weeks ago | awaybackgone.com | Henry Palattella

These three Guardians have authored seasons worth of All-Star consideration. Last year the Cleveland Guardians sent five players to the All-Star Game, marking the most representatives the franchise had sent to the Midsummer Classic since 2016. It was a list that featured some no-brainers (José Ramírez and Steven Kwan) and some names that would have been a bit of a surprise prior to the season (Josh Naylor and David Fry).
Guardians shift Shane Bieber's rehab assignment as road to Cleveland continues

The Biebs is on the way back. The last time we saw Shane Bieber on a major league mound, he was turning T-Mobile Park into his playground in six dominant innings against the Seattle Mariners in April 2024 before his season was blown up thanks to Tommy John surgery. After 14 months of waiting, we finally have an idea of when he’ll be back on the mound.
Long-forgotten Cleveland outfielder randomly resurfaces in weirdest callup of 2025

Daniel Johnson's back in the bigsOn Sept. 9, 2021, Daniel Johnson went 0-for-3 for the Cleveland Indians in what looked like the last MLB action of his career. Johnson, who entered the year as Cleveland’s No. 21 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was hitting just .221 through 30 games after his showing against the Twins, which was the biggest reason why Cleveland elected to send him down to Triple-A while the team was playing out the string in 2021.
KC Royals just threw a high-powered wrench in Guardians' postseason plans

Jac Caglianone is here. Last season, the Kansas City Royals surprised all of baseball by earning a postseason berth one year after winning just 56 games in 2023. And while the Royals have been able to stay in the postseason hunt this year despite having one of the worst offenses in baseball. But they took a move toward moving past that offensive complacency on Sunday by calling up top prospect Jac Caglianone from Triple-A.
What does the future of the Guardians’ middle infield look like?

3 weeks ago | awaybackgone.com | Henry Palattella

How should the Guardians address the future of their infield? The list of players who have played shortstop for the Guardians over the past five years reads like a list of generational Immaculate Grid answers. Can I interest you in some Mike Freeman? How about a bit of Yu Chang? Maybe a sprinkle of José Tena? And while Amed Rosario recorded 349 starts at shortstop in that time frame, it quickly (and disappointedly) became clear that he wasn’t the answer at the position.
This toolsy Guardians outfielder is finally finding success

3 weeks ago | awaybackgone.com | Henry Palattella

Nolan Jones is beginning to look like the kind of player the Guardians traded for. The lowest point of Nolan Jones’ season arguably came on May 12. At the time, Jones was in the midst of a 2-for-29 (.069) slump. While he was near the top of the MLB leaderboards in exit velocity and expected batting average, he wasn’t finding any success in the batter’s box. You could seemingly see the weight of that slump weighing on his face after every strikeout or hard-hit lineout.
Carlos Santana has been turning the clock back for the Guardians

3 weeks ago | awaybackgone.com | Henry Palattella

Santana's been adding to his Cleveland legacy this year. On June 11, 2010, Carlo Santana made his MLB debut for the then-Cleveland Indians, and smashed a double double and home run in his next game. His tenure with Cleveland’s baseball team has gone on quite a ride since. He was a lineup mainstay for eight years, complete with a Wild Card berth in 2013 and a ride to the World Series that came with an ALCS-clinching catch.
Believe it! Steven Kwan is one of MLB's best outfielders

Nov 22, 2024 | awaybackgone.com | James Mastrucci

With his performance during the 2024 season, Cleveland Guardians left fielder Steven Kwan has been named one of the best outfielders in baseball. Everyone in Cleveland has known for quite some time just how talented Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan is. But with his substance over style type of play, Kwan may have still flown under the radar of the casual baseball fan, or at least those whose favorite team does not reside in the American League Central division.
