Cleveland Guardians

Colin Holderman

RP

Holderman's wrist problems originally surfaced four years ago and flared up on him during the second half of this season. He will not pitch for the Guardians during the postseason but should be recovered in time for spring training. Holderman posted a 1.78 ERA and 39:11 K:BB over 35.1 innings in the first half but stumbled to a 4.67 ERA and 11:9 K:BB over 17.1 frames after the All-Star break.

Rhys Hoskins

1B

Hoskins still has time to make it back from the injured list before the end of the regular season, though he'll need to take live at-bats in simulated games and/or head out on a minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated. Once he rejoins the Guardians, Hoskins will likely occupy the short side of a platoon at first base with Nathaniel Lowe.

Andrew Walters

RP

Walters had right lat surgery last June, and he is now slated for another extended rehab that will rule him out until the 2028 season. The right-hander was limited to only 14 appearances in 2025 and another 14 in 2026 due to injuries.
