Works out of bullpen Cantillo allowed three runs on two hits and one walk while striking out one over one inning of relief in Friday's spring game against San Francisco.

Impact Cantillo was a rotation candidate and made five starts this spring before getting work as a reliever in his last two Cactus League appearances. He gave up a three-run home run in the eighth inning to take the loss. Both Cantillo and Triston McKenzie, another starter candidate earlier in the spring, worked out of the bullpen Friday. That suggests Logan Allen (1.89 ERA, 19 innings) will be Cleveland's No. 5 starter.

Makes third spring start Cantillo allowed three hits and two walks while striking out one over three scoreless innings in Friday's spring start against the Athletics.

Impact Cantillo was the first Cleveland starter to reach three innings. The lefty was given a big cushion by the offense, which produced three home runs and a 7-0 lead while he was in the game. Despite the number of baserunners allowed, Cantillo managed to escape unscathed. The 25-year-old remains in the mix for what appears to be two contested spots in the rotation -- beyond Tanner Bibee, Gavin Williams and Luis L. Ortiz -- and sports a 6.00 ERA with six walks over six spring innings.

Chased early Saturday Cantillo allowed four runs on three hits and four walks while striking out two over one inning in Saturday's spring start against the Cubs.

Impact Cantillo was dialed in during his first Cactus League start, but the left hander struggled to command his fastball the second time out and kept falling behind hitters. He was eventually pulled with one out in the first inning before coming back to start the second. He then walked three batters and left his second frame with two outs. It was a stark contrast to Cantillo's first spring outing, when 18 of his 21 offerings landed in the zone.

Pounds zone Monday Cantillo allowed one hit and struck out three over two scoreless innings in Monday's spring game against Arizona.

Impact It was impossible for Cantillo to walk a batter as he threw only three balls among his 21 pitches. Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt told Jesse Friedman of MLB.com that throwing strikes will be the key to Cantillo's success.

Hit hard in loss Cantillo (2-4) took the loss Friday against Houston, pitching 3.2 innings while allowing three runs on six hits and two walks. He struck out seven.

Impact The Cleveland southpaw entered this contest on a hot streak, firing a 1.10 ERA across 16.1 innings in September, but met his match in this 93-pitch outing. Cantillo got a taste of what the playoffs could look like as the Astros laced three doubles off him out of their six total base knocks. The 24-year-old did manage to salvage the start slightly, notching six or more punchouts for the fourth consecutive time. Cantillo wraps his rookie campaign with a 4.89 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 44:15 K:BB across 38.1 innings.

Now pitching Friday Cantillo is no longer starting Wednesday's game against the Reds and instead will pitch in Friday's series opener versus the Astros, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Guardians have locked up a first-round bye for the postseason, so they're switching up their pitching plans in the final week of the regular season. It will now be Andrew Walters opening a bullpen game Wednesday. While Cantillo will pitch Friday, it's uncertain whether it will be a traditional start or bulk reliever.

Lasts 4.1 innings vs. Twins Cantillo didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Minnesota, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out six.

Impact Cantillo pitched well for the most part Thursday, though he struggled with command at times and ultimately was forced out of the game midway through the fifth inning after throwing 86 pitches. The 24-year-old Cantillo has allowed just two earned runs across 18 innings in his last four outings, lowering his ERA to 4.63 with a 1.20 WHIP and 37:13 K:BB through his first 35 major-league innings. The left-hander is currently lined up for a home matchup with the Reds next week in what's likely to be his final regular-season start.

Drawing another start Cantillo is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Rays in Cleveland.

Impact After returning from Triple-A Columbus on Monday and striking out 10 over seven innings of one-run ball in a win over the White Sox, Cantillo has earned himself a second straight turn through the Cleveland rotation. The left-handed rookie should hold down a rotation spot until the Guardians get Alex Cobb (finger) back from the 15-day injured list.

Fans 10 in first MLB victory Cantillo (1-3) earned the win over the White Sox on Monday, allowing one run on two hits while striking out 10 batters over seven innings.

Impact Cantillo made things look easy against an unintimidating White Sox lineup, racking up 14 whiffs and carrying a perfect game into the bottom of the seventh frame. The rookie southpaw faded a bit in that inning, giving up a pair of two-out singles sandwiched around a wild pitch that allowed Chicago to get on the scoreboard, but that took only a tiny bit of shine off what was by far the best performance of his big-league career thus far. Given Cantillo's performance Monday, it wouldn't be surprising if he gets another turn in the rotation, though it's not clear how Cleveland would adjust its rotation to fit him in -- his opportunity Monday came as a result of the struggling Ben Lively having his scheduled start pushed back.
