Guardians Weigh Postseason Call-Up of Top Prospect Chase DeLauter for Wild Card Roster

The club faces a Tuesday morning roster deadline, with a decision on DeLauter potentially setting up a rare MLB debut.

Overview

  • Outfielder Chase DeLauter and catcher Dom Nunez arrived from Triple-A and are on the taxi squad at Progressive Field under consideration for the 26-man roster.
  • Manager Stephen Vogt said there is a case for activating both players as the team finalized plans during Monday’s workout.
  • The Guardians must submit their Wild Card roster by 10 a.m. Tuesday, leaving little time for a final call.
  • If activated and used in a game, DeLauter would become only the sixth player to make his MLB debut in the postseason.
  • Cleveland, which won the AL Central after a record comeback, will host the Tigers in the opening Wild Card series.
