Chase DeLauter Scratched Again vs. Angels With Left Hamstring Tightness
DeLauter is out of Cleveland's lineup against the Angels with left hamstring tightness, his second consecutive absence with the same issue.
Chase DeLauter is out of the Guardians' lineup against the Angels due to left hamstring tightness, per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com.
This is the second straight day DeLauter has been held out with the same concern — he was also absent from Cleveland's lineup against the Giants the previous day, though his condition was reportedly improving at that point. Whether that improvement has stalled or the club is simply being cautious is not yet clear.
A crowded injury shelf
DeLauter's absence lands in the middle of a rough stretch for Cleveland's outfield depth. Rhys Hoskins was placed on the injured list with a back injury, and Jo Adell exited a recent game after fouling a ball off his left knee, leaving him day-to-day. The Guardians are sitting 1.5 games back of the final AL Wild Card spot, so the timing of multiple outfield absences carries real operational weight.
What remains unconfirmed
No timetable for DeLauter's return has been reported. His availability beyond today's game is uncertain.
