Not in Saturday's lineup Brennan will sit Saturday against the Twins.

Impact Brennan is hitting just .191/.243/.294 on the season, but he kept his job while the Guardians sent down Oscar Gonzalez, who's hitting an even worse .192/.213/.288. The move could foretell an increased role for Brennan going forward, but for now it's Gabriel Arias who will get the nod in right field.

Gets breather against Sale Brennan is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's tilt against the Guardians.

Impact Brennan has really struggled at the plate as of late, but his absence from the starting lineup has more to do with the fact that there's a southpaw on the mound for his opponent with Chris Sale starting for the Red Sox. Oscar Gonzalez is hitting fifth and playing right field for the series finale.

Homer and steal in Friday's win Brennan went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a stolen base, a hit-by-pitch and two total runs scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Red Sox.

The outfielder has slashed .218/.279/.345 with 10 RBI, eight runs scored and four doubles through 61 plate appearances. Brennan should continue to fill a strong-side platoon role in right field since Oscar Gonzalez has also struggled early in 2023.

Sits against lefty again Brennan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

Impact The lefty-hitting Brennan remains on the bench for a fourth straight game, giving way to the righty-hitting Oscar Gonzalez while the Guardians face a fourth consecutive southpaw starter (Austin Gomber). The two players remain in a strict platoon in the right field, but given the greater share of right-handed arms around the league, Brennan projects to play more frequently than Gonzalez.

Sits against southpaw Brennan will hit the bench for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

Impact Brennan and Oscar Gonzalez have been in something close to a strict platoon in right field, with Brennan starting against all but two righties this season while Gonzalez starts against every lefties. The Marlins are trotting out two lefties - Devin Smeltzer and Braxton Garrett - in Saturday's doubleheader, so it's possible Brennan sits both games.

Sitting for first game of twin bill Brennan is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.

Impact The lefty-hitting Brennan will give way to the righty-hitting Oscar Gonzalez in right field while Detroit brings southpaw Matthew Boyd to the hill for the series opener.

Two hits, steal in win Brennan went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 4-3 win over the Nationals.

Impact Brennan appears to have earned a strong-side platoon role in right field with the slumping Oscar Gonzalez. It's been Brennan in that position for four of the last five games, and he's gone 6-for-17 (.353) over that span. The 25-year-old outfielder's steal was his first of the season. He had 22 thefts across three levels of baseball last season, so he could make an impact if his increase in playing time sticks. Brennan is slashing .286/.344/.393 with six RBI, four runs scored and three doubles over 32 plate appearances.

Starting vs. right-hander Monday Brennan will start in right field and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Yankees.

Impact For the third time in four games, Brennan will be included in the lineup versus a right-handed pitcher (Domingo German), while his primary competition for work in right field, Oscar Gonzalez, takes a seat. The righty-hitting Gonzalez has benefited from the Guardians having faced a lefty-heavy slate early on in the season, but his opportunities could become more scarce with Cleveland facing off against three righties during the series with the Yankees. The lefty-hitting Brennan, who went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Sunday's 7-6 win over Seattle, looks like he could fill the strong side of a platoon and thus may be the preferred fantasy option over Gonzalez moving forward.

Sitting versus lefty Brennan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact The lefty-hitting Brennan has started just twice in the Guardians' first seven games of the season, but it's worth noting that four of his five absences from the lineup have come when Cleveland has opposed left-handed starting pitchers. Once Cleveland begins facing more right-handers, Brennan could end up getting more regular looks in the lineup over Oscar Gonzalez, who is off to a 3-for-17 start to the season.

Pushing for roster spot Brennan is 4-for-14 with three doubles, RBI and three runs scored over six Cactus League games.

Impact Brennan doesn't have a clear path to an everyday role, but his solid hitting is earning him a long look in the spring. The 25-year-old outfielder hit .357 with eight RBI, a home run and two stolen bases in just 45 plate appearances last season. If he can maintain solid hitting and provide quality defense around the outfield, he could push for the ultra-light-hitting Myles Straw's spot in center field.
