Impact Fry homered for the second time in as many games after delivering a three-run shot in a win over the Rangers a day earlier. Thursday's homer closed the Guardians' deficit to one run, setting up Brayan Rocchio's walk-off homer in the ninth. Fry finished the game in left field after pinch hitting for rookie Cooper Ingle, who committed his second outfield error in as many games. The rookie is just 1-for-14 with seven strikeouts since his call-up, which could lead to Fry getting more opportunities in the outfield.

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.

Moves to LF, homers in win Fry started in left field and went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Brewers.

Impact Fry got Cleveland on the board in the third inning, when he tied the game with his fourth home run of the season. It was his first since May 4 and first RBI in 18 contests. Typically a lineup regular against left-handers, the right-handed batter could receive regular run against both lefties and righties due to injuries to outfield regulars, Chase DeLauter (ribs) and Angel Martinez (foot). Fry's started four consecutive games, the last three of which were the direct result of those injuries. Prior to Thursday, he defended right field, DeLauter's usual position. In irregular playing time this season, Fry is slashing .230/.347/.737 with four home runs and nine RBI over 45 games.

Works in right field again Fry started in right field and went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 9-4 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact As the Guardians learned that Chase DeLauter (ribs) would be unable to play through his injury and added him to the 10-day injured, Fry filled the spot in right field the last two games. It's unclear if that will be the permanent solution. Cleveland called up prospect Kahlil Watson on Wednesday, and he should be part of the mix. Besides having Watson around now, manager Stephen Vogt likes having Fry in a utility role.
