UPDATE: The Cleveland Guardians have just announced a significant roster change, recalling left-hander Tim Herrin and optioning fellow lefty Joey Cantillo to Triple-A Columbus. This move comes as the Guardians aim to strengthen their bullpen amid a tight race for an American League wild-card spot.
In a season marked by ups and downs, Herrin, 28, has posted a record of 4-2 with a 4.06 ERA over 39 appearances. He was previously optioned to Columbus just two weeks ago, but his return is expected to bolster the Guardians as they face the Atlanta Braves today in their series finale.
Meanwhile, Cantillo, 25, leaves the active roster with a record of 3-3 and a 3.93 ERA in 29 games. His recent performance included eight starts, five of which were made in the past month, indicating he had been gaining more responsibility on the mound.
As the Guardians sit at 63-59, this roster change is crucial for their postseason aspirations. The team is currently fighting for one of the coveted wild-card positions, making every decision vital as the August 27 showdown with the Braves approaches.
Fans will be keen to see how Herrin performs on his return and whether Cantillo can adjust and regain form in Triple-A. Stay tuned for more updates as this developing story unfolds.
