Chase DeLauter could make debut in postseason, included on Guardians' Wild Card Series roster
Chase DeLauter, an outfielder with no major league experience, was included on the Cleveland Guardians’ roster for their Wild Card Series against the Detroit TigersSEPTEMBER 30 • Associated Press
Included on wild-card roster The Guardians selected DeLauter's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.
Impact DeLauter has not played since undergoing right wrist surgery in July, having finished the season on the 7-day injured list at Columbus. He's healthy now, however, and the Guardians have elected to include the talented-but-injury-prone outfielder on their wild-card roster. DeLauter slashed .278/.383/.476 with five home runs in 149 plate appearances for Columbus this season and will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

Impact Though DeLauter hasn't played in a game since July 11 and finished the season on Triple-A Columbus' 7-day injured list, he's seemingly healthy again after completing his recovery from right wrist surgery. The Guardians had already planned for DeLauter to head to the Arizona Fall League in October to pick up some at-bats, but before that, he looks like he could be in consideration to make his MLB debut at some point during Cleveland's upcoming playoff run. Prior to being shelved with the hand injury and getting surgery, DeLauter was in the midst of a productive season with Columbus, slashing .278/.383/.476 with five home runs in 149 plate appearances. The Guardians have lately been using George Valera or C.J. Kayfus in right field against right-handed pitching, but DeLauter may be viewed as a potential upgrade over either player at that spot in the lineup.

Impact DeLauter underwent surgery July 23 to address a hamate fracture in his right wrist and appears to have progressed as anticipated in his recovery from the procedure. Facing live pitching likely represents one of the final checkpoints DeLauter will need to hit in his recovery before he gets cleared to play in games at the Guardians' spring complex or at a lower-level affiliate. He appears on track to return from Triple-A Columbus' 7-day injured list at some point in September.
