Austin Hedges - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Re-signs with Guardians Hedges signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Guardians on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Hedges slashed just .161/.250/.277 with 10 RBI and 13 runs scored across 180 plate appearances in the regular season. However, the 33-year-old is a great defender behind the plate, so Cleveland will keep him around for another year to serve as a backup to Bo Naylor.

Returning to bench Sunday Hedges is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Bo Naylor will return to the lineup Sunday after Hedges had started behind the plate in three of the Guardians' last four games.

Naylor is batting just .174 on the season, but he's gone 5-for-20 with three doubles and a 2:3 BB:K over his last seven games.
