On bench for matinee Brennan is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader with the Mets.

Impact Brennan will take a seat for Sunday's matinee after he extended his hit streak to four games Friday, batting .333 with two runs scored, a walk and a stolen base over that stretch. Gabriel Arias will draw the start in right field and will bat sixth in Game 1.

Records steal in loss Brennan went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-9 extra-inning loss to the Mets.

Impact Brennan is 5-for-15 (.333) over his last four games, but all of those hits were singles. The outfielder is slashing just .214/.257/.286 with a home run, four steals, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored and four doubles through 105 plate appearances. He should continue to see at least a strong-side platoon role in right field, though he hasn't shown enough to move out of the bottom half of the order.

Out against lefty Brennan is out of Saturday's lineup against the Angels.

Impact He typically sits against southpaws, and Gabriel Arias gets the start in right field in this one with Reid Detmers starting for the Halos. Brennan may sit out Sunday as well with Patrick Sandoval slated to start for the opposition.

On bench against lefty Brennan is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus Detroit.

Records third steal Brennan went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Tigers.

Impact Brennan got aboard with a single in the eighth inning, then stole second and scored on an Amed Rosario triple. This was Brennan's third multi-hit effort of the season, and he's also notched three steals in as many attempts. The outfielder is slashing .211/.256/.303 with a home run, 10 RBI, nine runs scored and four doubles through 82 plate appearances. He'll likely platoon with Gabriel Arias in right field while Oscar Gonzalez tries to get on track at Triple-A Columbus.

Sits against lefty Brennan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

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.

APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench versus lefty Brennan is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Marlins.

Impact Cleveland is facing a left-handed starter (Jesus Luzardo) for the sixth time in seven games, so Brennan once again finds himself on the bench. Oscar Gonzalez will receive another start in right field Sunday for the Guardians.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

APRIL 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Breather Friday Brennan is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Marlins.

Impact Brennan will get a breather after he went 1-for-8 with three strikeouts over the last two games of the series with the Tigers. Oscar Gonzalez will take over in right field and bat fifth in the series opener with Miami.

APRIL 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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. The Tigers are starting another lefty (Eduardo Rodriguez) in the second game, so Brennan may end up sticking on the bench for both ends of the doubleheader.

APRIL 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.
