Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Cruises to 14th save

Guardians' Ben Lively: Fans seven in victory
Lively (3-2) earned the win over the Mets on Monday, allowing one run on six hits and no walks while striking out seven batters over 5.2 innings.
The only run Lively allowed in the outing came via a Thomas Nido solo homer in the third inning. Lively was otherwise excellent, matching a season high with seven punchouts and falling one out shy of recording a quality start. The right-hander is in the midst of the best season of his career, posting a 2.84 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 38:12 K:BB over 38 innings. Prior to this season Lively owned a 5.05 ERA across 208.2 career frames.

Guardians' Johnathan Rodriguez: Receives first major-league call-up
The Guardians recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Columbus on Monday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
He's taking the roster spot vacated by Ramon Laureano, who was designated for assignment. Rodriguez, 24, has slashed .276/.389/.449 with seven home runs and four stolen bases this season with Columbus. The Guardians have been desperate for production from any outfielder not named Steven Kwan this season, and Kwan is currently out with a hamstring injury, so it's possible Rodriguez will get a long look. He will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

Guardians' Ramon Laureano: Designated for assignment
Laureano was designated for assignment by the Guardians on Monday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Laureano has slashed just .143/.265/.229 with a 38.6 percent strikeout rate for Cleveland this season to earn a trip off the 40-man roster. He is sure to clear waivers given that he's making $5.15 million this season, and Laureano would also likely accept an outright assignment by the Guardians since declining one would mean forfeiting what remains of his salary.

Brennan went 1-for-4 with a three-run walk-off home run in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Twins.

The outfielder is hitting .254 (15-for-59) in May with four extra-base hits over 18 contests, though that's an improvement from earlier in the campaign. Brennan is slashing .231/.283/.396 with five homers, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored and two stolen bases over 145 plate appearances while seeing a majority of the playing time in right field.

Guardians' Tyler Freeman: Perfect at plate Saturday
Freeman went 4-for-4 with a walk, a double, three runs, three RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 11-4 victory versus Minnesota.
Freeman batted out of the leadoff spot for the sixth straight contest and broke out with the first four-hit game of his career. Among those knocks was a run-scoring double and a two-run single. Freeman is still batting just .221 on the season, but he may be rounding into form, as he's gone 8-for-17 with a 4:1 BB:K during his current five-game hitting streak.

Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Goes deep again Saturday
Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and three total RBI in Saturday's 11-4 win over the Twins.
Ramirez set the tone early with a two-run homer in the first inning. He added a run-scoring double in the third and finished with his second three-hit effort over his past five contests. Ramirez has gone deep in back-to-back games and has a .340 average, six homers and 16 RBI over his past 13 contests.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Cruises to fifth win
Allen (5-2) earned the win over Minnesota on Saturday, pitching six scoreless innings during which he allowed five hits and one walk while striking out seven batters.
Cleveland went up 2-0 in the first inning, and Allen never allowed Minnesota a sniff at the game, as he allowed just a handful of singles across six scoreless frames. It was the second straight start in which the left-hander tossed exactly six innings without giving up a run on the heels of an ugly seven-run, 2.1-inning defeat against Detroit on May 7. That outing is a big reason why his season ERA sits at 4.91 -- it's a much more palatable 3.86 minus the blowup.
