Cleared from 40-man roster The Guardians designated Brogdon for assignment Friday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Impact Brogdon had a 1.11 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB for the Guardians, but his ERA was a bloated 5.28 because he's had his usual home run issues, serving up five in only 15.1 innings. He'll likely clear waivers, and if that happens the reliever would have the ability to become a free agent.

Guardians' overlooked offseason addition is beginning to turn into bullpen staple While Connor Brogdon isn't the biggest name in the Guardians' bullpen, he's turning into a valuable arm in Cleveland's 'pen.

Picks up save Saturday Brogdon earned a save against Seattle on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit while striking out two batters in one inning.

Impact Closer Cade Smith blew a save opportunity in the ninth frame, pushing the game into bonus time. Cleveland struck for three runs in the top of the 10th, and the Guardians chose to turn to Brogdon in the bottom of that frame. The right-hander made things interesting by serving up a two-run homer to Luke Raley, but Brogdon was able to convert the save by striking out the subsequent two batters he faced. Fantasy managers need not read into Brogdon's chance to close Saturday, as Smith isn't likely to move out of the closer role anytime soon.

Credited with victory in relief Brogdon (2-1) picked up the win over the Rangers on Monday, allowing one run on two hits with out strikeout over 1.1 innings in relief.

Impact Starter Jack Kochanowicz gave the Angels just 4.2 frames, and Brogdon was summoned from the bullpen with two outs and runners on second and third in the fifth. Brogdon struck out Joc Pederson to end the inning, but he gave up a solo shot to Josh Jung in the following frame. Nonetheless, the righty reliever was credited with the win as the Angels held on for the victory. Brogdon has worked primarily in middle relief this season, posting a 4.40 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB over 30.2 innings spanning 29 appearances while notching two holds and zero saves.
