Kyle Manzardo - Drives in three runs Saturday Manzardo went 2-for-4 with a home run and three total RBI in an 8-1 victory versus the Astros on Saturday.

Impact Manzardo broke a 1-1 tie with a two-run homer to the opposite field in the third inning. He capped the scoring in the contest with a run-scoring single in the seventh. Manzardo has gone deep twice in his past three games to push his total to nine home runs on the season. Though he's often sat against lefty starters this season, Manzardo has been in the lineup the past two times Cleveland has faced a southpaw, and his bat has become more important with Jose Ramirez (hand) in the midst of an extended absence.

Travis Bazzana - Explodes for two homers, five RBI Bazzana went 4-for-4 with two home runs, three total runs and five total RBI in an 8-1 win against the Astros on Saturday.

Impact Bazzana didn't take long to set the tone for his big performance, belting the first pitch of the game from Spencer Arrighetti over the outfield wall for a home run. The talented rookie added a three-run blast off Arrighetti in the fifth inning to notch the first multi-homer game of his career. Bazzana also logged four hits for the first time as a big-leaguer and racked up a career-best five RBI. He had been batting just .182 through 15 games in June entering Saturday, but Bazzana has nonetheless had a strong beginning to his major-league career, slashing .274/.369/.476 with seven homers, 11 doubles, 23 RBI, 22 runs and 11 stolen bases through 46 contests.

Spencer Arrighetti - Troubled by long ball in loss Arrighetti (7-3) took the loss against Cleveland on Saturday, allowing six runs on six hits and no walks while striking out eight batters over six innings.

Impact Arrighetti allowed only seven Guardians to reach base, but six came around to score. That was the result of the right-hander serving up three homers, including two to rookie Travis Bazzana. Arrighetti had previously allowed just three long balls over his first 11 outings covering 63 innings this season, so it was unusual for him to struggle to keep the ball in the park. Despite Saturday's blowup, Arrighetti still has a solid 3.13 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 68:32 K:BB on the campaign. He's projected to make his next start on the road against the Tigers.

Joey Cantillo - Goes eight innings in victory Cantillo (6-3) earned the win over Houston on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out nine batters over eight innings.

Impact Cantillo had his best stuff working Saturday, as he racked up an impressive 20 whiffs and tied a season high with nine punchouts. The left-hander hadn't gone more than six frames in any of his previous 15 starts this season, but he was able to give Cleveland eight innings in the victory, marking the second time in his career he's pitched that deep into a game. Cantillo has had his share of ups and downs in 2026, but he's given up one or zero earned runs seven times through 16 outings. He's managed a 6-3 record despite a 4.05 ERA and 1.40 WHIP while notching a 76:37 K:BB across 80 innings.
