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.

Scores go-ahead run Halpin went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Kansas City.

Impact Halpin moved up from first base when the runner ahead of him, Austin Hedges, stole third base. That put Halpin in position to score the go-ahead run on a two-run single by Chase DeLauter. The stolen base was his first since being called up last Friday and 10th overall including the nine he swiped for Triple-A Columbus. As another left-handed bat in a lefty-dominant outfield, Halpin doesn't appear to have a platoon advantage over the outfield regulars, but his speed could lead to pinch-running opportunities.

Sent to Triple-A The Guardians optioned Halpin to Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Impact Halpin was in contention for a spot on the Opening Day roster, but it looks like the 23-year-old will start the new season in the minor leagues. Halpin has gone 8-for-30 (.267) with two home runs, two doubles, eight runs scored and five RBI during spring training. He could factor into the Guardians' 2026 plans as the season progresses, but Cleveland has plenty of depth in the outfield at this point.

Makes swing adjustment Halpin made an adjustment to his swing during the offseason, Joe Noga of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Guardians manager Stephen Vogt described the adjustment as "pretty significant," which is aimed at shortening his movement and repeatability. "He's got some power," Vogt said. "But (we want him to) just be able to hit the ball all over the field and be able to repeat the move a lot more." Halpin made a brief impression during a late-season call-up in 2025, serving as a defensive replacement and a baserunning weapon during Cleveland's drive for the postseason. Now it's time to see what the 23-year-old can do offensively. Halpin belted a three-run home run in Thursday's spring game against Seattle.
