Overview
- The Guardians put right-hander Colin Holderman on the 15-day injured list with right wrist inflammation, removing a primary late-inning option from their bullpen.
- The club activated Slade Cecconi from the 15-day IL and designated righty Carlos Hernandez for assignment to create space on the 40-man roster.
- The Guardians called up 26-year-old right-hander Austin Peterson from Triple-A Columbus and he may make his major-league debut in relief.
- Peterson is a 6-foot-6, multi‑pitch righty with strong strikeout rates at Triple-A but elevated walk and home-run rates, which helps explain the team’s plan to use him out of the bullpen.
- Cleveland sits at 70-70 and holds the final AL Wild Card slot, so Holderman’s absence will force other relievers to step up and could directly affect the club’s playoff push and short-term roster moves.
