Latest news and updates about the Guardians
This recap is late because it is being typed out on the bar of a lovely establishment in Twin Falls, Idaho, called Scooter’s. I am on my way to spring training and listened to this game – even though it was televised – while driving up and down various mountain passes. This country hilly as […]
Today the Texas Rangers head on over to Goodyear, AZ, which is the spring home of the Cleveland Guardians. RHP Nathan Eovaldi is set to make his second start of the spring for Texas opposite RHP Slade Cecconi for Cleveland. Today’s Lineups RANGERS GUARDIANS Sam Haggerty – 2B Steven Kwan – CF Danny Jansen – […]
Texas Rangers lineup for February 25, 2026 against the Cleveland Guardians. We have another spring training game. Woo hoo!!! The lineup: Haggerty — 2B Jansen — C Helman — CF Duran — SS Wade — RF Canha — LF Bride — 1B MacIver — DH Martin — 3B Nathan Eovaldi is the starter today.
It had been 543 days since Gavin Stone last faced big league hitting, but on Tuesday he made his long-awaited return against the Cleveland Guardians. Stone was only dealt one inning of work as he was handed the start, tossing 15 pitches while striking out a pair of hitters in a perfect first inning. Stone […]
I had to listen to the game on the radio for a little bit today, and no, the Cleveland broadcasters aren’t bitter. In the 10 minutes I was listening, they mentioned the Dodgers’ $414M payroll three times. It is six times the payroll of the Guardians. The Dodgers have ONE BILLION DOLLARS in deferred monies. […]
Gavin Stone is back on the mound for the first time in a year and a half, Freddie Freeman makes his 2026 Cactus League debut, and Miguel Rojas is leading off on his 37th birthday. Tuesday game info
The Dodgers on Tuesday take on the Cleveland Guardians at Camelback Ranch. Here are the active players for the fourth game of the Dodgers’ spring, including Freddie Freeman at first base in his first Cactus League game this year, just as he planned. Lineup Miguel Rojas SSKyle Tucker RFWill Smith CFreddie Freeman 1BTeoscar Hernández LFAndy […]
Record: 1-3. Change on 2025: 0. 5-inning record: 0-4. Once again, the D-backs waited until late for their offense to show up, only getting their first run on the board when they were already down by seven. That put a thin veneer of respectability on a score which was never really in doubt. Though after […]
The Diamondbacks will be hopping on the team bus, and whizzing on the 101 and 10, for the drive to Goodyear for today’s game. Probably a toss-up whether that or Camelback Ranch is the furthest ballpark from Salt River Fields, but either way, forty miles isn’t bad. It’s one way the Cactus League is definitely […]
Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman is expected to make his 2026 game debut on Tuesday, when the Dodgers host the Cleveland Guardians. In speaking with reporters on Thursday at Camelback Ranch, Freeman talked about his plans for 2026 and beyond, which included wanting to play 162 games again this season, something he did previously in […]
Another lackluster effort from the A’s dropped their early spring record to 0-2 after a second straight loss, this time to a different AL Central foe in the Cleveland Guardians. The A’s couldn’t bounce back after a rough third inning and now they’re 0-2 to start 2026. Good thing spring stats and records don’t matter! […]
Rhys Hoskins is now a Guardian, agreeing to a deal with Cleveland on Sunday morning. His lengthy stay in free agency and non-guaranteed deal indicate that he wasn’t in high demand. However, there was at least one team that showed some interest in him, according to this report from Devan Kaney: That certainly got Phillies […]
The Cincinnati Reds dropped their Cactus League opener on Saturday as the Cleveland Guardians downed them to the tune of 4 to 2. The good news, though, is twofold. For one, the final score of these games means absolutely nothing right now. Second, today the Reds are actually rolling out a lineup full of their […]
After a losing effort against the Guardians on Saturday afternoon, the Brewers are back at it with their first split-squad day of the spring. The road Brewer squad is in Glendale, where they’ll take on the Chicago White Sox, while the home team welcomes the Royals to American Family Fields of Phoenix. In the road […]
Chase Burns got the start in Saturday afternoon’s contest between the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Guardians in the two teams’ combined complex in Goodyear, Arizona, and in doing so officially began their Cactus League campaign. Burns kept the Guardians off the board in a pair of scoreless frames, doing so without so much as allowing […]
Box Score After a long, eventful winter, the Milwaukee Brewers were back in action on Saturday afternoon in Phoenix, as they hosted the Cleveland Guardians. While the results don’t matter much (besides for the coveted Cactus League Cup), the Brewers did go down 9-6 in this one. Garrett Stallings worked around a pair of singles […]
The Cincinnati Reds return to baseball action today at 3:05 PM ET, kicking off their 2026 Cactus League campaign in the cozy home confines of Goodyear Ballpark in Goodyear, Arizona. They’ll do so as the away team, however, as it will be the Cleveland Guardians claiming the home game from the dugout on the other […]
We’re less than a week from baseball games! The Brewers get their Cactus League slate underway on Saturday afternoon against the Guardians. It won’t be a typical spring training, necessarily — the World Baseball Classic adds a (fun) twist to the proceedings, and several prominent Brewers will be absent from camp for a week or […]
Andrés Giménez is a 27-year-old, left-handed hitting, middle infielder. The Jays picked him up in trade from the Guardians in early December 2024, along with Nick Sandlin for Spencer Horwitz and minor leaguer Nick Mitchell. Horwitz was quickly flipped to the Pirates. Horwitz hit .272/.353/.434 with 11 home runs for Pittsburgh, playing first base with […]
Over the last couple of years, a number of MLB teams have had their RSN deals either end or collapse, and their TV rights have reverted to the league. Prior to 2026, the Padres, Diamondbacks, Rockies, Guardians, Twins and Mariners had their TV rights assigned to MLB Local Media, the league’s production arm for local […]
It has been expected (by me, at least) ever since Main Street/FanDuel Sports Network (the successor to Diamond/Bally) missed a broadcast rights payment to the Cardinals back in December, and now it’s happening: a whole bunch more clubs are returning their local broadcast rights to Major League Baseball, as had happened previously over the last year+ with the Padres, Diamondbacks, Twins, Rockies, Nationals, and Guardians. Up to eight more teams, formerly having their rights at Diamond/Ball...
The Cubs had played a bit better after the All-Star break in 2022, but were still far out of first place, or indeed, any contention. They had picked up Franmil Reyes on waivers from the Guardians in early August. Just one year earlier, Reyes had a 30-homer season for Cleveland (and had hit 37 for […]
The Philadelphia Eagles signed free agent Jose Ramirez to a reserve/future contract on Thursday afternoon, according to an official team announcement. Ramirez, a six-time All-Star, hit 30 home runs for the Cleveland Guardians last year while posting a 5.8 WAR. Oh, wait, sorry, that’s José Ramírez. Jose Ramirez is an edge rusher who had very […]
On Tuesday, January 6th, the St. Louis Cardinals acquired left-handed relief pitcher Justin Bruihl from the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for cash considerations. After making stops in Los Angeles and Toronto last season (pictured), the Cleveland Guardians traded for the lefty reliever from Toronto after they designated him for assignment after signing submarine reliever Tyler […]
Overview 2025 Review When the 2024 season came to a close, so did Christian Walker’s tenure as an all-star caliber first baseman. To counter this loss, Mike Hazen got aggressive. Before Christmas even rolled around, Hazen made a trade with the Cleveland Guardians. Mike Hazen sent pitching prospect, Slade Cecconi and his six years of […]
