Brayan Rocchio News: Starts both ends of doubleheader

Rocchio started at second base in both ends of Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals. He went a combined 2-for-7 with one walk, two doubles and a run scored.

Rocchio remained on the roster following the activation of Gabriel Arias off the IL on Friday, and he was in the starting lineup at second base, with Arias at shortstop, prior to that game being postponed. Both players started at the same positions for both games Saturday. Rocchio has hit .258 since his return to the majors July 1, when he was called up to replace Arias. It looks like the two will occupy the Guardians' middle infield for now, which allows manager Stephen Vogt to move the versatile Daniel Schneemann, who started at two different spots, third base and right field, in Saturday's twin bill, around the diamond as needed.
