Demoted to Triple-A The Guardians optioned Noel to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Impact Noel was hitting .104 (5-for-48) with 18 strikeouts in 23 games since the start of May and has now lost his place on the big-league roster. The 23-eyar-old will likely need to right the ship with Columbus before getting another look with the Guardians this summer. Johnathan Rodriguez was called up in a corresponding move Sunday.

Last Night in Baseball: Paul Skenes actually got some run support for once

Slide continues Noel started in right field and went 0-for-2 before being lifted for a pinch hitter in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Reds.

Impact Noel's average slipped to .150 following his hitless day, and he has one hit over the last 23 at-bats. He's been part of a platoon in right field with Nolan Jones, but something may have to change soon. Guardians' right fielders rank last in batting average (.170), 29th in OPS (.517) and 29th in slugging (.288). Lane Thomas (wrist), who is expected to return in the coming days, could help alleviate the problem.

Stuck in short side of platoon Noel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Impact After making three straight starts last week, Noel appeared to be encroaching on Nolan Jones' role as the Guardians' top right field, but Noel looks like he'll remain in the short side of a platoon for now. Noel finds himself on the bench Wednesday for the fourth game in a row, with the Guardians having faced right-handed starting pitchers in each of those contests.

Idle for Game 2 Noel isn't in the lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus Washington.

Impact Noel entered Game 1 as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored. He'll begin the nightcap on the bench as well while Nolan Jones starts in right field, batting sixth.

Taking seat for Game 1 Noel is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

Impact The 23-year-old was poised to sit for Monday's contest before it was postponed, and he'll remain on the bench Tuesday for the make-up game. It's the second straight game on the bench after starting five of the previous six contests. Noel is in the midst of a 4-for-31 slump, and he's struck out 13 times during that stretch.

Taking seat again Monday Noel is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Nationals.

Impact Noel has now been on the bench for consecutive games after starting five of the previous six contests. Nolan Jones is in right field and batting eighth for the Guardians on Monday.

Retreating to bench Sunday Noel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Though Noel is on the bench for the series finale, he had started in right field in five of the past six games. The Guardians have deployed Noel as a short-side platoon player for most of the season, but he's been getting more opportunities against right-handed pitching of late while the left-handed-hitting Nolan Jones has struggled to get the job done. Jones is back in the lineup Sunday but is slashing just .160/.284/.267 with a 33 percent strikeout rate over his 88 plate appearances on the season.

Launches second home run Noel went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 extra-inning win over Minnesota.

Impact Noel extended Cleveland's lead to 2-0 in the fourth inning with a towering, 450-foot blast off Simeon Woods Richardson, his second homer this season. It's been a tough start to the year overall for Noel, who's slashing .186/.210/.305 with a 29-percent strikeout rate. However, the 23-year-old outfielder has already demonstrated his impressive power potential. Noel posted a .774 OPS with 13 homers in 198 plate appearances last year.

Clubs first homer of year Noel went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.

Impact After sitting out the matinee against Tanner Houck, Noel got the start in right field and batted eighth in the nightcap against Walker Buehler. Big Christmas took advantage of the opportunity, launching a hanging sweeper over the left-field fence in the fourth inning for his first long ball of the season. Noel has seen sporadic playing time so far and hasn't done much to push for a bigger role, managing just a .465 OPS through 49 plate appearances. Nolan Jones hasn't fared much better however (.567 OPS in 70 PAs), so if Noel can heat up, there's a clear path for him to take on a bigger share of the workload in right field.
