Nabs win Saturday Sandlin (6-0) allowed a hit and struck out one over a scoreless inning to earn the win Saturday over the Rays.
Impact Sandlin's been a little shaky since returning from a minimum stay on the injured list due to a back injury. This was just his third scoreless appearance in six outings since he was activated. The right-hander is now at a 3.74 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 37:15 K:BB with a save, four holds and two blown saves over 33.2 innings this season. Sandlin will likely remain in a middle-relief role until he can steady his performance.

Secures win Sunday Sandlin (5-0) pitched a perfect inning to earn the win Sunday over the Marlins.
Impact The Guardians took the lead in the seventh inning after Sandlin worked the sixth, making him the pitcher of record. While he's allowed multiple runs in two of his last nine outings, he hasn't been charged with a run in his other seven appearances in that span. Sandlin is at a 2.63 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB over 27.1 innings this season while adding a save, four holds and a blown save. The strength of the Guardians' bullpen has kept him from seeing more consistent high-leverage work, as he continues to see mostly middle-innings assignments.

Notches fourth win Sandlin (4-0) walked one and struck out two without allowing a hit or a run over two-thirds of an inning to earn the win Tuesday over the Mets.
Impact Starter Xzavion Curry went 4.1 innings, falling short of qualifying for the win. Sandlin stepped up to finish the fifth inning, working his way out of a bases-loaded jam. The right-hander has kept runs off the board in all but three of his 26 appearances, though he has given up multiple runs in each of those three missteps. He's still pitched to a rock-solid 2.35 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 27:7 K:BB with a save and three holds over 23 innings while filling a fireman role in the Guardians' bullpen.

Snags win Saturday Sandlin (1-0) struck out two and hit one batter in a scoreless inning to earn the win Saturday over the Athletics. He did not walk a batter or allow a hit.
Impact Tanner Bibee was inefficient with five walks in a four-inning start. Sandlin took care of the fifth inning and was credited for the win as the Guardians' bullpen pitched five hitless innings. Sandlin has four strikeouts over two innings this season, and he's yet to walk a batter or give up a hit. He's not in the high-leverage mix for 2024, but he had a 3.75 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 10 holds over 61 appearances in 2023.

Ends year in shaky form Sandlin allowed five runs over his last 9.2 innings this season.
Impact Sandlin got shuffled out of the high-leverage mix when the Guardians bolstered their bullpen with waiver claims at the end of August. He picked up 10 holds this year, two of which came in September. The right-hander finished the campaign with a 3.75 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 66:24 K:BB over 60 innings, and he also registered a 5-5 record in 61 appearances.

Takes another loss Sandlin (5-5) allowed a run on one hit without recording an out to take the loss in Friday's 9-8 defeat at the hands of the Rays.
Impact Sandlin served up a walk-off solo home run to Wander Franco just three pitches into his ninth-inning appearance after the Guardians had rallied to tie the game. With three runs allowed over three innings, two losses and two holds to begin August, it's been a rough stretch for Sandlin. He's now at a 3.65 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 49:16 K:BB through 44.1 innings overall.
AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Handed loss Wednesday Sandlin (5-4) allowed a run on a hit and a walk over two-thirds of an inning to take the loss versus the Astros on Wednesday.
Impact Sandlin surrendered a sixth-inning solo shot to Chas McCormick that was the final run of the 3-2 game. It's been a rough patch for Sandlin lately -- he's been scored on in five of his last seven appearances. That's pushed his ERA up to 3.64 with a 0.98 WHIP and 47:16 K:BB through 42 innings overall. He's added five holds, but he's likely to remain in lower-leverage assignments until he can steady his pitching.

Secures fifth win Sandlin (5-3) allowed a run on two hits and struck out one over one inning to pick up the win Wednesday over the Royals.
Impact Sandlin worked the fifth inning after starter Gavin Williams was inefficient over four scoreless frames (87 pitches). While Sandlin has struggled lately, giving up six runs over his last four innings, he's picked up two holds and a win in that span. He's at a 3.63 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 43:14 K:BB through 39.2 innings while continuing to fill a versatile role in the Guardians' bullpen.
JULY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Wins again Wednesday Sandlin (4-3) didn't allow a baserunner over 1.1 scoreless inning and struck out two to earn the win in Wednesday's 14-1 victory over the Royals.
Impact Starter Logan Allen went just 3.2 innings due to a high pitch count (98), so Sandlin was in line for the win, his second in as many appearances. While he's given up three runs over 9.1 innings in June, Sandlin has been solid as a middle reliever with no clearly defined role in the Guardians' bullpen. He's now at a 3.14 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 27:10 K:BB with two holds through 28.2 innings this season. The right-hander will likely continue to serve in somewhat of a fireman role, but he's unlikely to see much late-inning work.
