Overview

  • The Guardians announced on August 10 that Bazzana was promoted from Double-A Akron to the Triple-A Columbus Clippers, placing him one step away from his MLB debut.
  • After missing two months with an oblique strain, Bazzana returned in July to post a .265/.367/.412 slash line with seven doubles, one home run and six RBIs.
  • He is one of four prospects—alongside Tommy Mace, Ross Carver and Cooper Ingle—promoted to Columbus this week.
  • He became the first Australian and only second baseman to go No. 1 overall in the MLB Draft when Cleveland selected him in 2024.
  • Cleveland sits six games behind the Tigers in the AL Central and half a game out of the third AL wild-card spot, making his advancement timely for their playoff chase.
