Kyle Manzardo - Serves as DH Manzardo started at designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's spring game against Milwaukee.
Impact Manzardo has appeared in two Cactus League games, one at first base and one at DH. He was expected to be the primary first baseman this season, but plans changed when the Guardians signed Rhys Hopkins to a minor-league deal. The "minor league" is a technicality, as Hopkins is expected to be added to the 40-man roster and will likely split time with Manzardo at first base and DH. The crowd at first base also includes CJ Kayfus, who in theory could be the left-handed complement at first base with Hopkins, which would leave Manzardo as the strong side of a DH platoon. Manzardo's exact role should be made clearer over the course of spring training.

Rhys Hoskins - Agrees to minors deal with CLE Hoskins agreed to a minor-league contract with the Guardians on Sunday that includes an invitation to spring training, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact According to Zack Meisel of The Athletic, the contract will pay Hoskins a base salary of $1.5 million should he make the major-league roster, which seems likely.

He will compete for time at first base and designated hitter with Cleveland.

Parker Messick - Competing for rotation Messick is one of four pitchers competing for three available spots in the Guardians' rotation, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Impact Messick begins his mission for a rotation spot Sunday against the Athletics. The 25-year-old left-hander, who is working on adding a cutter per the Cleveland Plain Dealer, is competing with Logan Allen, Joey Cantillo and Slade Cecconi for spot on the starting staff.

Joey Cantillo - Hiccups in spring debut Cantillo allowed two runs on three hits while striking out two over 1.1 innings in Saturday's spring start against the Brewers.
Impact Cantillo started a split-squad game to begin his candidacy for one of three available spots in Cleveland's rotation. After giving up two hits and a run in the first inning, the left-hander was removed to ensure he could get a second up-and-down. Cantillo then allowed a home run to lead off the second frame but was able to build his pitch count to 33 (22 strikes). He is competing with Logan Allen, who started the Guardians' other game Saturday, Slade Cecconi and Parker Messick.

Logan Allen - Works spring opener Allen allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two over two scoreless innings in Saturday's spring start against the Reds.
Impact Allen kicked off his quest to claim one of three available spots in the rotation. The left-hander worked around a double and a walk in the first inning before leaving after 32 pitches (19 strikes) in each squad's Cactus League opener. Beyond rotation locks Tanner Bibee and Gavin Williams, the Guardians will evaluate Allen, Joey Cantillo, who started a split-squad game Saturday, Slade Cecconi and Parker Messick this spring.
