Overview
- The club added Angel Genao, Kahlil Watson, Austin Peterson and Yorman Gómez to its 40-man roster to shield them from the Rule 5 Draft.
- Reliever Nic Enright was designated for assignment to open a spot after posting a 2.03 ERA in 27 appearances, then undergoing Tommy John surgery on Oct. 29 that will sideline him next season.
- Genao is Cleveland’s No. 3 prospect and No. 59 overall per MLB Pipeline, while Watson (No. 18) and Peterson (No. 30) joined Gómez following productive seasons at Akron, Columbus and Lake County.
- Notable players left unprotected include Wuilfredo Antunez, Kody Huff, Milan Tolentino, Dylan DeLucia, Trenton Denholm, Ryan Webb and Steve Perez.
- Cleveland expressed interest in re-signing Enright, and the next decision points are the contract‑tender deadline later this week and the Rule 5 Draft on Dec. 10.
