Takes loss in nightcap Stephan (3-3) allowed a run on two hits and struck out two in 1.1 innings, taking the loss in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader versus the Tigers.

Impact Stephan navigated a single in the fifth inning without trouble, but he let Spencer Torkelson aboard in the sixth. Bryan Shaw allowed the inherited runner to score, leaving Stephan with the loss when the Guardians failed to pull even. This ended a 6.2-inning scoreless streak for Stephan, who has put together a solid campaign outside of an ugly May. He owns a 3.30 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB while adding a save, a blown save and four holds through 30 innings.

Snags win Tuesday Stephan (3-2) walked one and struck out three in one scoreless inning to earn the win over the Twins on Tuesday.

Impact Stephan walked Byron Buxton to lead off the bottom of the 10th inning, but he bounced back to strike out Carlos Correa, Max Kepler and Gary Sanchez in order. The Guardians pulled ahead in the 11th and Emmanuel Clase made it stick to earn Stephan his first win since April 29. He's kept runs off the board in six of his seven appearances in June and now owns a 3.65 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 27:8 K:BB through 24.2 innings overall. Stephan has added a save, four holds and a blown save, though he only occasionally sees high-leverage spots.

Gives up two homers Stephan allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one in one inning during Sunday's 6-3 win over the Athletics.

Impact Prior to Sunday, Stephan hadn't given up a home run all season. That changed in the eighth inning when he allowed back-to-back solo shots to Christian Bethancourt and Seth Brown. This was the fourth time in 23 appearances Stephan's given up multiple runs. He has a 4.09 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 23:7 K:BB, a save, three holds, a blown save and a 2-2 record in 22 innings. He should remain in a mid-leverage role, but he hasn't logged a save or a hold since May 9.

Dealt second loss Stephan (2-2) took the loss Thursday versus the Tigers. He allowed a run on two hits and struck out one in one-third of an inning.

Impact Stephan entered with the game tied at 3-3, but he allowed a double to Jonathan Schoop, who then advanced to third on a wild pitch. Miguel Cabrera added a walkoff single, handing Stephan his second loss in his last three outings. The right-hander now owns a 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB across 18 innings in 18 appearances. He's given up five runs (four earned) in his last four outings.

Takes loss Thursday Stephan (2-1) took the loss Thursday versus the Reds. He allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and a walk in two-thirds of an inning without recording a strikeout.

Impact Stephan was called upon to pitch the eighth inning. It was his own throwing error that allowed the second of the Reds' three runs in the frame to score, and the Guardians' offense couldn't bail the reliever out. Stephan has allowed six runs (five earned) across 6.2 innings in May after giving up just one unearned run in 10 innings in April. It shakes out to a 2.70 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB for the right-hander, who has added a save and three holds in 16 appearances.

Notches first save Stephan struck out two batters in a perfect inning and earned a save over the White Sox on Monday.

Impact Stephan worked a clean 11th inning to convert his first save chance of the year. The 26-year-old is sporting an impressive 15:3 K:BB and 1.35 ERA through 13.1 innings. He'll maintain a late-inning role but won't see many save chances behind Emmanuel Clase.

Awarded Friday's win Stephan (2-0) picked up the win Friday versus the Athletics, pitching two perfect innings with two strikeouts.

Impact It was an efficient outing for Stephan, who threw 16 of 19 pitches for strikes. That was good enough for the official scorers to credit the right-hander with the win instead of Enyel De Los Santos, who was in the game when the Guardians took the lead. Across 10 innings this season, Stephan has allowed one unearned run with a 10:0 K:BB and three holds in nine appearances. He won't be that effective all season, but he should have a chance to be part of the high-leverage mix in front of closer Emmanuel Clase.

Earns win Tuesday Stephan (1-0) allowed a hit in a scoreless inning, earning the win Tuesday versus the Reds.

Impact Stephan pitched the eighth inning, and the Guardians rallied for the lead on a two-run home run by Andres Gimenez and a grand slam by Jose Ramirez in the ninth. Through 2.2 innings in three appearances, Stephan has allowed two hits with one strikeout, and he's yet to give up a run. The right-hander did alright as a multi-inning option last season with a 4.41 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 75:31 K:BB, but it appears he's gained a bit more trust early in 2022 to work in tighter games.

Makes Opening Day roster Stephan is on the Guardians' 28-man Opening Day roster, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Stephan pitched to a reasonable 4.41 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 75:31 K:BB in 63.1 innings as a rookie last season. He went 3-1 with one save and three holds in a mainly low-leverage role. The hard-throwing righty will need to trim back on walks (4.4 BB/9) and homers (2.1 HR/9), as those high rates led to a 5.48 FIP last season. He should see most of his appearances in middle relief to begin 2022.

Hard-luck loss Friday Stephan (3-1) took the loss Friday, allowing one run on two hits with three strikeouts in two innings versus the White Sox.

Impact The 25-year-old gave up the only run in the game on a Luis Robert solo home run in the fifth inning. Stephan's ratios aren't great this year (4.62 ERA, 1.43 WHIP), but Friday was the first loss he's taken in 41 appearances. He's added a save and two holds, but he's also posted a 5.58 FIP, which indicates he's gotten a little lucky. Expect the right-hander to finish the year in a low-leverage role.
