Guardians' Colin Holderman: Slated for wrist surgery
Rotowire
Holderman will undergo season-ending surgery on his right wrist, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Holderman's wrist problems originally surfaced four years ago and flared up on him during the second half of this season. He will not pitch for the Guardians during the postseason but should be recovered in time for spring training. Holderman posted a 1.78 ERA and 39:11 K:BB over 35.1 innings in the first half of the season, but he stumbled to a 4.67 ERA and 11:9 K:BB over 17.1 frames after the All-Star break.
Kayfus (ankle) was activated from the 60-day injured list Monday.
Kayfus will head into the offseason at full strength after undergoing surgery in July to address a broken right ankle and ligament damage. He appeared in nine games for the Guardians in 2026 but spent the majority of his time at Triple-A Columbus, where he hit .240 with three homers, 25 RBI, six stolen bases and 15 runs over 46 appearances.
Adell went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Royals.
Adell went just 23-for-95 (.242) over 25 games in September, adding three homers and 11 RBI. The outfielder batted .240 with a .699 OPS this season. He produced 23 homers, 94 RBI, 70 runs scored, 26 doubles, one triple and five stolen bases over a career-high 159 contests between the Guardians and the Angels. While his overall profile was mostly steady compared to his career year in 2025, he regressed in the power department.

Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Homer, steal in loss
Rotowire
Schneemann went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Royals.
Schneemann saw a bench role after returning to the majors at the start of September. He went 3-for-10 over eight games this month. On the year, he hit just .210 with a .608 OPS, seven homers, 30 RBI, 30 runs scored, 11 doubles and seven steals over 286 plate appearances. Schneemann is not a lock to be on the postseason roster, and even if he makes it, he'll likely serve as a utility option off the bench.

Guardians' Parker Messick: Goes three innings
Rotowire
Messick allowed a run on six hits and a walk while striking out two over three innings in a no-decision versus the Royals on Sunday.
Messick's start was a shorter one, as expected, since the Guardians had nothing to play for in the regular-season finale. This outing will function to keep him on a normal schedule heading into the playoffs, where he's expected to get a start in the ALDS. Messick allowed no more than three runs in any of his last 15 starts of the season, providing excellent consistency. He ends the regular season with a 12-9 record, 2.56 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 193:49 K:BB over 186.1 innings through 32 starts.
The Guardians optioned Yoho to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, Roundtable.io reports.
Yoho gave up two runs on three hits and a wild pitch while recording just one out Saturday, bringing his ERA up to 4.93 in 34 big-league appearances in 2026, and he will now head back to the minors to conclude the regular season. Austin Peterson replaces Yoho on the active roster and in the Cleveland bullpen.

Guardians' Austin Peterson: Recalled to majors
Rotowire
The Guardians recalled Peterson from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, Roundtable.io reports.
Craig Yoho was demoted after allowing two runs in just one-third of an inning Saturday, and it will be Peterson who takes Yoho's spot in the Cleveland bullpen. Peterson has made just one appearance for the Guardians to date, tossing two scoreless innings with three strikeouts against Detroit in his major-league debut back on Sept. 5. The right-hander turned in a 4.41 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 107:38 K:BB over 102 innings with Columbus this season.

Guardians' Jose Ramirez: On bench Sunday
Rotowire
Ramirez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
With the Guardians' playoff seeding set after the team clinched the AL Central title Saturday, Ramirez will rest for the regular-season finale. Daniel Schneemann will start at third base and bat eighth against lefty Daniel Lynch.
