Guardians LHP Joey Cantillo loses bid for perfect game with two outs in the 7th inning

Cleveland Guardians left-hander Joey Cantillo retired his first 20 batters before Andrew Benintendi singled with two outs in the seventh inning to give the Chicago White Sox their...
SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 • Associated Press
Recalled ahead of start The Guardians recalled Cantillo from Triple-A Columbus on Monday.
Impact Cantillo will make a start Monday against the White Sox. It had been Ben Lively's turn in the rotation, but Lively has struggled lately and will have his turn pushed back or perhaps skipped altogether. The left-handed Cantillo has produced an unsightly 7.71 ERA and 15:9 K:BB over 18.2 innings in four starts and one relief appearance with the Guardians this season.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to be called up Monday Cantillo is expected to be called up from Triple-A Columbus and start Monday's contest against the White Sox, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact Cantillo was optioned to Columbus on Aug. 27 after he pitched 1.2 scoreless innings against the Royals in Game 1 of the team's doubleheader that day. The left-hander has appeared in five games with Cleveland this season, including four starts, producing an inflated 7.71 ERA with 15 strikeouts over 18.2 frames. Cantillo will replace Ben Lively in the Guardians' rotation Monday and it's currently unclear when Lively's next start will come.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Sent down Cantillo was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.
Impact Cantillo's demotion was expected after he served as the 27th man in Monday's doubleheader versus the Royals. He's pitched to a 7.71 ERA over 18.2 innings in the majors this year. With an off day Thursday, the Guardians may be able to get by with a four-man rotation until Alex Cobb (fingernail) is ready to return, which means Cantillo could be staying at Triple-A for a while.
AUGUST 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Works late in Game 1 Cantillo didn't allow a baserunner over 1.2 scoreless innings and struck out one in a 4-3 loss to the Royals in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader.
Impact Cantillo was scheduled to pitch in the game but didn't appear until the eighth inning, as the Guardians opted for a true bullpen game in the matinee rather than an opener/bulk reliever format. This was Cantillo's first scoreless appearance in five major-league outings this season. He now has a 7.71 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB over 18.2 innings. He was the 27th man for the doubleheader, so it's likely Cantillo will be returned to Triple-A Columbus before Tuesday's game.

Recalled, set to pitch in Game 1 The Guardians recalled Cantillo from Triple-A Columbus prior to Monday's doubleheader with the Royals.
Impact Cantillo is expected to pitch in the first game of the twin bill, likely serving as a bulk reliever once opening pitcher Nick Sandlin exits the contest after working an inning or two. The Guardians had previously deployed Cantillo as a traditional starter in each of his prior four outings with the big club, but the lefty submitted an 8.47 ERA and 1.76 WHIP over 17 innings across those contests. Cantillo is expected to be returned to Columbus following the twin bill.

Impact Cantillo had started in each of his previous four appearances with the big club, but manager Stephen Vogt will have the young lefty work behind an opener with the hope of generating better results. The 24-year-old had been roughed up over his four starts with Cleveland, recording an 8.47 ERA and 1.76 WHIP while striking out 14 and issuing nine walks over 17 innings. He's likely to be returned to Columbus following the twin bill.
AUGUST 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Could start Monday The Guardians will designate Cantillo as the 27th man for Monday's doubleheader against the Royals, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Guardians have yet to officially announce their starting plans, but Cantillo and Logan Allen are the favorites to get the starting nods. Cantillo was demoted to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday, but he can make a quick return to the majors due to the doubleheader. The 24-year-old has struggled in his first taste of the big leagues this year with an 8.47 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB over 17 innings.

Could start Monday Cantillo will be called up from Triple-A Columbus to serve as the 27th man for Monday's doubleheader against the Royals, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Guardians have yet to officially announce their pitching plans for the twin bill, but Cantillo and Logan Allen will both be called up from Triple-A and should start the two contests in some order. Cantillo was demoted to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday, but he can make a quick return to the majors because he's being designated as the 27th man. The 24-year-old has struggled in his first taste of the big leagues this year with an 8.47 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB over 17 innings.
AUGUST 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Heading back to Triple-A The Guardians optioned Cantillo to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.
Impact While making his fourth start of the season for the Guardians on Wednesday against the Yankees, Cantillo was dealt a third consecutive loss after yielding seven earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over four innings. Despite being optioned to Columbus, Cantillo could still be a candidate to get called up again Monday, when the Guardians will require two starting pitchers for a doubleheader with the Royals. However, with Cantillo now owning an 8.47 ERA and 1.76 WHIP through 17 innings with the big club, the Guardians could be compelled to go in a different direction.
AUGUST 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Tough night in New York Cantillo (0-3) took the loss Wednesday as the Guardians fell 8-1 to the Yankees, surrendering seven runs on six hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out five.
Impact Two-run homers by Juan Soto in the first inning and Aaron Judge in the third accounted for most of the damage off the rookie southpaw. Cantillo got the hook after 88 pitches (50 strikes), and he's now served up six long balls while walking nine batters in his first 17 big-league innings, highlighting how much work he'll need to do to improve his control and command before he'll be a viable fantasy option. With Alex Cobb (finger) out until the end of the month, Cantillo is likely to get at least one more start, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Royals.

AUGUST 22, 2024 • MLB.COM
Recalled ahead of start The Guardians recalled Cantillo from Triple-A Columbus in advance of his start Wednesday against the Yankees.
Impact The lefty will pick up his fourth career MLB start after yielding nine earned runs on 15 hits and six walks while striking out nine over 13 innings across his first three outings with the big club. Following Wednesday's game, Cantillo could stick around with the Guardians to make another start during Monday's doubleheader with the Royals, but he could be optioned back to Triple-A after that if Alex Cobb (fingernail) is able to return from the 15-day injured list later on in the week.
AUGUST 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Likely to start Wednesday Cantillo is likely to start Wednesday against the Yankees, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Guardians have yet to name a rotation replacement for Alex Cobb (finger), but Cantillo has as locker in their clubhouse at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday. The lefty has made three previous starts for Cleveland, allowing nine runs with a 9:6 K:BB over 13 innings. Cantillo will tentatively line up to make an additional start early next week during a doubleheader versus the Royals.
AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Sent back to Triple-A Cantillo was returned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday after serving as the 27th man in Friday's doubleheader versus the Twins.
Impact Cantillo allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 5.2 innings, but he took his second loss in three major-league starts. With Matthew Boyd (elbow) nearing a return from the injured list, Cantillo has no obvious path to a rotation spot for the Guardians unless another injury arises.

Falls to Twins Cantillo (0-2) took the loss in the opening game of Friday's doubleheader with the Twins, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out two.
Impact Cantillo allowed a run in the first inning before Minnesota added a pair of solo homers in the second and fourth. The 24-year-old Cantillo has allowed three runs in each of his three starts in the majors this year, posting a 6.23 ERA with a 1.62 WHIP and nine strikeouts over 13 innings. The left-hander figures to return to Triple-A following Friday's outing, where he has a 2.79 ERA in seven starts.
AUGUST 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Promoted for Game 1 start The Guardians recalled Cantillo from Triple-A Columbus to start Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Twins.
Impact The left-hander will serve as the 27th man for the twin bill, so he's likely to return to Columbus after the spot start. Cantillo recently made his first two major-league starts and allowed six runs with a 7:3 K:BB across 7.1 innings.
AUGUST 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to minors The Guardians optioned Cantillo to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.
Impact The left-hander surrendered three runs over four innings during his start Saturday against the Orioles, and he'll head to Triple-A in favor of bullpen depth. Cantillo should be a candidate to rejoin the Guardians for Thursday's doubleheader in Minnesota.
