Slade Cecconi - Holds Astros in check Cecconi (3-6) took the loss Sunday against Houston, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out one.

Impact Cecconi wasn't dominant Sunday, fanning a season-low one, but he was effective enough to hold the Astros to just a pair of runs. The 26-year-old right-hander is putting together a strong month of June, giving up two runs or fewer while working at least five frames in each of his past four starts. Cecconi will take a middling 4.48 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 66:27 K:BB over 84.1 frames into his next scheduled outing at home versus the Mariners.

George Valera - Clears waivers The Guardians outrighted Valera to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reportshttps://x.com/tim_stebbins/status/2068753417804091843

Impact Valera cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last weekend and will end up sticking around in the Cleveland organization as outfield depth at Triple-A. The 25-year-old had previously logged 38 plate appearances with the Guardians on the season, slashing .216/.237/.297 with six RBI and one run.

David Fry - On bench in third straight Fry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Impact Fry had drawn four consecutive starts from June 13 through Thursday, but he's hit the bench for all three games of the Guardians' series in Houston. Each of those absences have come against right-handed starting pitchers, so Fry appears as though he'll remain in a short-side platoon role even while the Guardians have lost three key players to the injured list (Jose Ramirez, Angel Martinez and Chase DeLauter) over the past week.

Rhys Hoskins - On bench Sunday Hoskins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hoskins started the previous nine games and will receive a day off after batting .111 (4-for-36) with two doubles, a homer and 15 strikeouts during that stretch. Despite that poor form, the veteran slugger seems likely to see his fair share of opportunities going forward with Chase DeLauter (ribs), Angel Martinez (foot) and Jose Ramirez (hand) all landing on the IL within the past week.

Kahlil Watson - Rough start to MLB career Watson went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Saturday's 8-1 win over Houston.

Impact Watson, who started a third consecutive game in right field, has yet to reach base safely while striking out seven times in 10 plate appearances. Despite appearing to be overmatched in his first tour of MLB, the left-handed batter could continue to get regular work while the Guardians cope with a recent spate of injuries, including outfielders Chase DeLauter (ribs) and Angel Martinez (foot).

Joey Cantillo - Leans on curveball Cantillo threw a major-league high 44 curveballs in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Astros, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Impact Cantillo used the pitch 45 percent of the time, easily the most of any start, and Houston was just 2-for-22 against it. Entering Saturday, the curve was his third most-used pitch (20 percent) behind the four-seamer (40.4) and changeup (28.2). Whatever pitch the left-hander throws, the highlight of Saturday's eight-inning outing was the ability to throw strikes. Cantillo threw 71 of them among his 98 pitches for a 72.4 percent strike rate, the second best of his big league career. "That's exactly what we've talked about [with] attacking the zone," manager Stephen Vogt said. "That was one of the best games we've seen him pitch."

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.
