Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images The forecast looks clear for a three-game series between the Guardians and Phillies in Cleveland this weekend. Keith Law released his first MLB mock draft and has the Guardians taking a contact-first 5'9" outfielder (Arkansas' Charles Dalavan). Seems accurate. Dan Szymborski of FanGraphs did some extension projections and thinks 6 years and $111 million would get it done with Steven Kwan. I won't hold my breath on that happening.

Box Score · Clippers fall to 14-17It’s tough to win when you only have two hits, but that’s what Columbus did on Tuesday. Thankfully, one of the team’s two hits was a home run courtesy of the scorching hot C.J. Kayfus, who went 1-for-2 with a walk. He has a 1.287 OPS since being promoted to Triple-A. Not too shabby. C.J. KAYFUS HOMER C.J. Kayfus has his second Triple-A homer and gets a run on the board for the @CLBClippers.

So far in 2025, the Guardians’ second-spot hitters have the 28th worst production in MLB from that spot with a 73 wRC+ (only Cincinnati - hey, Tito - and Colorado are worse). This is not for lack of trying - manager Stephen Vogt has tried EIGHT different players in the role so far in this young season.
