José Ramírez Returns to Guardians After Paternity Leave

Cleveland sends rookie Kyle Manzardo to Triple-A Columbus to make room for the All-Star third baseman.

Ramírez missed two games for the birth of his third child and is leading All-Star voting at his position.
The 31-year-old is batting .269 with 18 home runs and 62 RBIs this season.
Manzardo, who struggled with consistency, batted .207 with seven RBIs in 30 games.
Guardians manager Stephen Vogt emphasized the importance of consistent playing time for Manzardo's development.
Cleveland currently holds a five-game lead over Kansas City in the AL Central.
