Makes debut in field Manzardo started a first base and went 1-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

Impact Manzardo served as the designated hitter for the first two games of the regular season before finally getting a chance to defend a position. He's 2-for-13 with eight strikeouts through three contests. The Guardians were hoping to get Manzardo more starts at first base this season, but for now he's sharing the position with Rhys Hoskins.

Serves as DH again Manzardo started as the designated hitter and went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Manzardo has been stuck at DH the first two games of the season, both coming against right-handed starters. The right-handed batting Rhys Hoskins started at first in both games. There was some thought that Manzardo would see more time at first base this season with Carlos Santana no longer around, but those plans apparently changed when the Guardians signed Hoskins after training camp started.

Serves as DH Manzardo started at designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's spring game against Milwaukee.

Impact Manzardo has appeared in two Cactus League games, one at first base and one at DH. He was expected to be the primary first baseman this season, but plans changed when the Guardians signed Rhys Hopkins to a minor-league deal. The "minor league" is a technicality, as Hopkins is expected to be added to the 40-man roster and will likely split time with Manzardo at first base and DH. The crowd at first base also includes CJ Kayfus, who in theory could be the left-handed complement at first base with Hopkins, which would leave Manzardo as the strong side of a DH platoon. Manzardo's exact role should be made clearer over the course of spring training.
