Kyle Manzardo Could Be Called Up Soon
7 months agoDepending on the results of Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan's (hamstring) MRI results on Sunday, first base prospect Kyle Manzardo is an option to be promoted to the major-league roster. Manzardo, the club's No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline, could be on the cusp of his first big-league call-up after hitting .303/.375/.642 with a 1.017 OPS, nine home runs, 20 RBI and 25 runs scored in his first 29 games this year on the farm at Triple-A Columbus. The 23-year-old left-handed slugger would most likely be an option for Cleveland at the designated hitter spot in the big leagues if he's called up and Kwan needs a stint on the injured list. Manzardo also impressed with his bat in spring training. His blend of power and on-base skills makes him attractive pickup in deep-mixed leagues with a potential call-up coming soon.
