Idle versus lefty Manzardo is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Angels.

Impact The lefty-hitting Manzardo will take a seat Sunday due to the Angels sending southpaw Reid Detmers to the mound. Manzardo started in the first two games of the series, and his six-game hitting streak was snapped in Saturday's 4-3 win. Jose Ramirez will serve as the designated hitter Sunday, while Gabriel Arias draws the start at third base.

Earning first call-up The Guardians are expected to call up Manzardo from Triple-A Columbus on Monday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 23-year-old missed out on Cleveland's Opening Day roster but is set to receive his first taste of the big leagues as Steven Kwan (hamstring) is headed to the injured list. Manzardo clubbed nine homers with a 1.017 OPS through 29 games for Columbus and seems likely to see regular playing time while Kwan is unavailable.

Active at Columbus Manzardo (shoulder) was activated from Triple-A Columbus' 7-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Manzardo went 0-for-8 with a walk, one RBI and a run scored over three games while rehabbing with the Guardians' Arizona Complex League affiliate. He's now clear to make his Columbus debut following a trade that sent him from the Rays organization. A strong showing with the Clippers could make him an option for a late-season call-up to Cleveland.

Begins rehab assignment Manzardo (shoulder) went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored for Cleveland's Arizona Complex League affiliate on Friday.

Impact This was the beginning of Manzardo's rehab assignment. He's been out of action for over six weeks after sustaining an injury with Triple-A Durham while still in the Rays' organization. The Guardians acquired Manzardo in the trade that sent Aaron Civale to Tampa at the deadline.

Traded to Cleveland for Civale Manzardo (shoulder) was traded from the Rays to the Guardians in exchange for Aaron Civale, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact This one-for-one deal is final, as Manzardo goes from the 64-44 Rays to the 53-53 Guardians. Manzardo has been on the 7-day injured list since July 6 due to a sore left shoulder, per Topkin, but he is expected to return to action soon. He hit .238/.342/.442 with 11 home runs, a 20.8 percent strikeout rate and a .269 BABIP in 73 games for Triple-A Durham before landing on the shelf.

Goes on Triple-A IL Triple-A Durham placed Manzardo on its 7-day injured list Monday due to an unspecified issue.

Impact Manzardo was recently deactivated after he was selected to play in Saturday's All-Star Futures Game, but he ultimately went unused in the exhibition. The Rays haven't provided an explanation behind why Manzardo didn't play in the Futures Game, though it's worth noting that he exited in the third inning of his most recent game with Durham last Thursday, which may be when he sustained an injury. The first base prospect finished the first half of the season with a .238/.342/.442 slash line and 11 home runs across 313 plate appearances with Durham.

Treading water at Triple-A Manzardo is slashing .243/.346/.449 with three home runs and a 28:18 K:BB over his last 30 games for Triple-A Durham.

Impact His line for the season (.261/.360/.489) is more impressive than this recent run, but Manzardo's wRC+ is down to 110, which is not an impressive mark for a Triple-A first baseman. He is still one of the better pure hitters in the minors, but given that Manzardo is not yet on the 40-man roster, a promotion to the majors does not appear imminent.
