Belts pinch hit homer Tuesday Genao went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer during Tuesday's 6-1 win over Toronto.

Since making his major-league debut Aug. 5, he has gone 20-for-76 (.263) with five RBI, five extra-base hits, one steal and 10 runs scored across 22 games.

Starts at shortstop again Genao started at shortstop for a second consecutive game and went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 4-3 win over Colorado.

Impact Genao replaced Brayan Rocchio at shortstop for a second consecutive game, which could be something to monitor in the coming days. Rocchio, who's been the primary shortstop since taking over for Gabriel Arias early in the season, has slumped in the second half with a .183/.230/.270 slash line over 30 games since the break. Meanwhile, Genao has a .315/.373/.426 slash line over 15 games since being called up earlier this month.

Replaces teammate against lefty Genao started at second base and went 1-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-4 win over Detroit.

Impact Genao replaced the primary second baseman, Travis Bazzana, for the second time in the last three games in which the Guardians faced a left-handed starter. Bazzana has a .192./.306/.240 slash line over 121 plate appearances against lefties. The switch-hitting Genao logged an .881 OPS against left-handers while with Triple-A Columbus prior to his call-up to Cleveland.

2026 MLB Power Rankings: A New Team On Top As The Dodgers Struggle

Hits first career homer Genao went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a hit-by-pitch in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the White Sox.

Impact This was Genao's first homer and first extra-base hit over four major-league games. The infield prospect is currently seeing steady playing time -- he's made two starts each at second base and third base, providing some cover at the hot corner while Jose Ramirez has battled lingering soreness in his surgically repaired left hand. Genao figures to play regularly as long as his bat warrants it, though he may ultimately settle into more of a utility role around the infield.

Covers 2B against lefty Genao started at second base and went 0-for-4 in Friday's 8-2 win over the White Sox.

Impact The switch-hitting Genao got the start against left-hander Noah Schultz, replacing Travis Bazzana at the keystone. Bazzana, who has struggled against left-handed pitching (.537 OPS) in the majors, may lose opportunities against southpaws going forward, which should benefit Genao.

Guardians take on the Mets after Genao's 4-hit game

The Cleveland Guardians play the New York Mets after Angel Genao's four-hit game on Wednesday

AUGUST 6 • Associated Press

Four hits in debut Genao went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Mets.

Impact It was a night to remember for Genao, as he became just the 22nd player in the Modern Era to record four or more hits in their MLB debut. Genao got the start at third base Wednesday with Jose Ramirez (hand) sidelined, though he'll likely see most of his playing time at shortstop moving forward, as Brayan Rocchio's gone just 3-for-35 (.086) in his last 10 games. Across 309 plate appearances with Triple-A Columbus this season, Genao slashed .309/.395/.494 with 10 homers, 48 runs scored, 42 RBI and nine stolen bases.
