C.J. Kayfus News: Promotion official

The Guardians selected Kayfus' contract from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday.

After turning in an .893 OPS through 289 plate appearances in Triple-A, the 23-year-old Kayfus will now reach the big leagues for the first time in his young career. Capable of fielding first base and the corner outfield positions, Kayfus will likely see most of his playing time in the outfield, replacing Daniel Schneemann as Cleveland's primary right fielder against right-handed starters. Johnathan Rodriguez was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
