Hankins was
released by the Guardians on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
A first-round pick in 2018, Hankins underwent Tommy John surgery in May of 2021. He made just 17 appearances in the minors after that, reaching Double-A Akron this season for only one outing. It's unclear if the right-hander will latch on with another big-league organization or perhaps attempt to revive his career overseas.
