Gaddis

Gaddis rejoins Cleveland’s bullpen for Tuesday’s showdown against the Dodgers after being away from the club for exactly three games. The 27-year-old righty has been stellar this season in a high-leverage role for the Guardians, recording a sparkling 0.86 ERA across 21 innings (23 appearances).

Gaddis will be away from the Guardians for up to three days while taking care of more pressing matters. He’ll return to a key bullpen role with the team, but Nick Enright will take his place on the roster for now.

With Shane Bieber (elbow) returning to the Guardians’ rotation on Friday night, someone needed to get bumped and it looks like Gaddis was the odd-man out. Gaddis threw three scoreless frames as an opener against the Orioles on Thursday and owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 24/14 K/BB ratio over 42 innings with the big league club this season.

Gaddis will take the ball on Thursday night against the Orioles in a spot start for Cleveland. The 25-year-old right-hander hasn’t pitched in the majors since August 29. He holds an inflated 4.85 ERA, 1.33 wHIP and 23/12 K/BB ratio across 39 innings (10 appearances, six starts) this season in the big leagues. There are preferable alternatives out there for fantasy managers on Thursday’s slate.

The 25-year-old was demoted to Triple-A at the start of the month after posting a 4.85 ERA over six starts and four relief appearances in the majors this season. He hasn’t been much better in the minors, with a 6.14 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, and 65 strikeouts in 73 1/3 innings at Triple-A.

Gaddis will head to Triple-A among a host of moves with Reynaldo Lopez and Matt Moore officially being added to the roster. The 25-year-old has put up a 4.85 ERA over six starts and four relief appearances in the majors this season.

Gaddis has shuttled back-and-forth between Cleveland’s bullpen and Triple-A Columbus this season and will likely get an extended look in the majors over the final month of the season.

Gaddis provides Cleveland’s bullpen with some extra long relief depth for the second game of Thursday’s twin bill against the Dodgers. The 25-year-old righty will head back to Triple-A Columbus at the conclusion of the evening.

Gaddis has been jettisoned to the minors with righty Triston McKenzie (shoulder) returning to make his season debut on Sunday against the Twins.

Gaddis was up to 10 scoreless innings since his most recent callup before giving up three homers in the fifth inning today. It seemed like he was due, as Gaddis had allowed just one homer in 25 2/3 innings coming into the day. Last year, he gave up seven homers in 7 1/3 innings during his brief time in the majors.
