Petey Halpin - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sitting in series finale Halpin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Halpin is on the bench for the third straight game, but Sunday will mark the first time that the left-handed-hitting outfielder has sat against a righty starter (Davis Martin) during that stretch. The 24-year-old has produced a serviceable .264/.298/.415 slash line since the All-Star break, but Halpin could nonetheless see his opportunities against right-handed pitching take a hit while the Guardians make more of an effort to clear room in the lineup for rookie Angel Genao, who was called up from Triple-A Columbus earlier this week.

Steals base in loss Halpin went 0-for-1, was hit by a pitch, and stole a base in Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Rays.

Impact Halpin was one of three Guardians to reach scoring position, when he was hit by a pitch and stole second base in third inning. The steal was his sixth in six attempts and fourth in 12 games since being recalled July 9. Halpin has been a steady presence in the starting nine, even with the return of Angel Martinez from injury.

Sticking in everyday lineup Halpin will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rays.

Impact The recent return of Angel Martinez from the injured list has yet to cost Halpin playing time, as the 24-year-old will draw an eighth consecutive start Sunday. Halpin turned some heads with a two-homer performance in a July 20 win over the Twins, but he's cooled off since then with just one hit in 16 at-bats over his subsequent five starts.

Petey Halpins' first two Major League home runs | 07/20/2026 Petey Halpin crushes his first two Major League home runs for the Guardians in their 13-4 win over the Twins

JULY 21 • MLB.COM

Smacks first major-league homers Halpin went 3-for-5 with a double, two home runs, three RBI and an additional run scored during Monday's 13-4 win over Minnesota.

Impact It took 40 major-league games, but Halpin finally went yard for the first time in his career Monday. In fact, he was responsible for two of the Guardians' six homers off right-hander Joe Ryan in a blowout win. Halpin has seen a steady amount of reps in the outfield since rejoining the big club prior to the All-Star break, but he could be sent back down to Triple-A Columbus once Angel Martinez (foot) is reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Gaining foothold in lineup Halpin will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Twins.

Impact Halpin will occupy center field for the fifth time in past six games after he recorded exactly one hit in each of his last four starts while chipping in a pair of steals. He appears to have a grip on a strong-side platoon role in the Cleveland outfield for the time being, though Halpin will be at risk of a move to the bench or a demotion to Triple-A Columbus once Angel Martinez (foot) returns from the 10-day injured list.

Impact The 24-year-old was called up by Cleveland in mid-June and played in 10 games during this stint in the majors, going 4-for-23 with a triple, five runs and eight strikeouts. Halpin is heading back to Columbus to clear roster space for the return of Chase DeLauter (rib) from the injured list.

He ran for David Fry and scored in the sixth inning, singled and scored in the eighth and was the designated runner in the 10th and scored.

Impact Halpin made a second consecutive start in center field and third over the Guardians' last five games. He was called up after Cleveland lost two outfield regulars to injuries, and the left-handed batter could pop up in starting lineups against right-handers while manager Stephen Vogt navigates the absences of Chase DeLauter (ribs) and Angel Martinez (foot).
