Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Sitting out against left-hander
Rotowire
DeLauter is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in St. Louis.
The left-handed-hitting DeLauter was in the lineup each of the last three times the Guardians faced a left-hander, but he'll take a seat Monday as the Cardinals send southpaw Matthew Liberatore to the bump. Angel Martinez will start in right field and bat second for Cleveland.

Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Gives team early lead
Rotowire
DeLauter went 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 10-2 win over Kansas City.
DeLauter put the Guardians up early with a two-run double in the first inning. Six of the rookie's 11 hits have gone for extra bases. It's likely not sustainable, but DeLauter is slugging .675 with 11 RBI through his first 12 games played.

Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Big impact in lineup return
Rotowire
DeLauter went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI in Friday's 4-1 win over the Cubs.
DeLauter fouled a ball off of his foot Tuesday against the Dodgers and had been out of the lineup since, but he returned in a big way Friday. The 24-year-old drove in three of the four runs scored by the Guardians, with his biggest swing being a two-run home run to extend the Guardians' lead from one to three. It was DeLauter's fifth home run on the young season, tied for the most in MLB alongside Shea Langeliers.

Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Returns to Guardians' lineup
Rotowire
DeLauter (foot) will start at designated hitter and bat second in Friday's game versus the Cubs.
DeLauter had to depart Tuesday's game against the Dodgers after fouling a ball off his foot. X-rays came back clean, and he's feeling well enough to serve as the DH as the Guardians kick off their first homestand of the season.
Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Absent from Wednesday's lineup
Rotowire
DeLauter (foot) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
DeLauter was forced to depart Tuesday's contest versus Los Angeles after fouling a ball off his left foot. X-rays came back negative, but with the Guardians having an off day looming Thursday, it makes sense to hold DeLauter out Wednesday for the final game of the road trip and give him two straight rest days. Angel Martinez will patrol right field and bat second for Cleveland in the rubber match.

Guardians' Chase DeLauter: X-rays negative
Rotowire
X-rays on DeLauter's left foot came back negative after his removal from Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
DeLauter had to leave Tuesday's contest after fouling a ball off his foot in the first inning, but he appears to have escaped the incident with nothing more than a bruise. The Guardians may leave the rookie outfielder out of the starting nine for a day or two as a precaution, but a trip to the injured list likely won't be necessary. Angel Martinez and Daniel Schneemann would be next in line to start in the outfield should DeLauter miss time.

Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Exits with foot injury
Rotowire
DeLauter was removed from Tuesday's game against the Dodgers with a left foot injury, SI.com reports.
DeLauter fouled a ball off his left foot during the first inning of Tuesday's contest and immediately headed into the Guardians' clubhouse. The team will presumably send the outfielder, already known for a history of injuries, for imaging to determine whether he suffered any structural damage. Should he need to miss any additional time, Angel Martinez and Daniel Schneemann would be candidates to pick up extra reps in the outfield.
Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Launches another long ball
Rotowire
DeLauter went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mariners on Saturday.
DeLauter looked like he could be stymied for the first time this season when he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts over his first four plate appearances. However, the rookie saved his best for last, belting a two-run homer off All-Star reliever Andres Munoz in the 10th inning for what ended up being the decisive hit. DeLauter has now homered in the first three regular-season games of his career, and he's the early league leader with four home runs to go along with a gaudy .357/.357/1.214 slash line.

Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Smacks third homer
Rotowire
DeLauter went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Mariners.
DeLauter has gone 4-for-9 with three homers over the first two games of the season. All of the long balls have been solo shots so far, but he's already matched his homer total from 14 spring games. It's a great first impression for the outfielder at the major-league level after three injury-plagued campaigns in the minors, including just 42 contests between rookie ball and Triple-A during the 2025 regular season. DeLauter's bat will help him stay in the lineup a fair amount, especially against right-handers, but his ability to stay healthy is the X-factor as to how his rookie season will unfold.

Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Goes deep twice in opener
Rotowire
DeLauter went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three total runs scored in a 6-4 win against Seattle on Thursday.
It was an explosive regular-season debut for DeLauter, who started in right field and batted second. He took Logan Gilbert deep for a solo homer to open the scoring in the first inning and tacked on another solo shot off reliever Cooper Criswell in the ninth. DeLauter should have plenty of runway for production this season as Cleveland's everyday right fielder, though he's battled injuries in the past several campaigns and has never played more than 66 games in a professional season.
