Guardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said Saturday that DeLauter has built up to playing at least five games per week, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
DeLauter opened the season on the injured list while recovering from core-muscle surgery, which he underwent in March. He made his 2025 debut for Triple-A Columbus in early May, but ongoing soreness caused the organization to manage his workload. The frequent rest days seem to have paid off, as DeLauter is currently riding a 26-game on-base streak, during which he's posted a .309/.426/.543 slash line with 11 extra-base hits, 17 RBI and 21 runs. Meanwhile, the Cleveland offense has gone into a slumber, sitting last in MLB this month in runs per game (2.87) and batting average (.208), so the 23-year-old may get his chance to help the big club sooner rather than later.
