The Guardians will play a doubleheader against the Red Sox. at 1:10PM and 6:10PM EDT today.
The evening bill will feature Doug Nikhazy starting and making his major league debut. T.J. Nestico has some useful metrics on Nikhazy’s stuff:
Quite disappointing news that Guardians’ second base propsect Juan Brito tore a ligament in his thumb on a slide and needed surgery. His expected return is in 8-12 weeks, but we know from experience that a player’s power can take about a year to come back after the thumb ligament repair. Looks like Gabriel Arias, Brayan Rocchio and Daniel Schneemann are getting full looks this year (maybe Will Wilson, as well).
