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.

Swats three-run homer Brennan went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run, a triple and two total runs scored in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Royals.

Impact Brennan led off the bottom of the first inning with a triple and scored on Amed Rosario's sacrifice fly. In the second, Brennan added a three-run blast, though that would be it for his production in the contest. The rookie outfielder hadn't recorded an extra-base hit in his first eight games, but he hit safely in seven of them. He's now batting .344 with one homer, one triple, two stolen bases, seven RBI and five runs scored across 35 plate appearances. It appears he'll have at least a part-time role heading into the postseason, potentially as a strong-side platoon player in right field.

Impact Brennan has opened his major-league career 4-for-11 with three RBI, though he's yet to record an extra-base hit. It's encouraging to see his speed show up in the majors -- he logged a career-high 20 stolen bases in 129 games between Triple-A Columbus and Double-A Akron this year, and he's never had fewer than 10 thefts in a calendar year. Brennan has seen time in both corner outfield spots since his call-up.
