Means (elbow) allowed four runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two over three innings in his rehab start for Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

Means made his third rehab start and first at the Triple-A level, where he experienced more pushback than his previous outings at High-A Lake County. All three hits allowed by the left-hander left the park. On a more positive note, Means upped his pitch count to 61, putting him another rehab start or two away from potentially returning from the 60-day injured list and joining the Guardians rotation in September.
