Cleveland Guardians Call up Highly-Touted Shortstop Prospect Angel Genao
Angel Genao is hitting .300 with 13 homers and 53 RBI at Columbus and could replace Gabriel Arias in the infield.
- On Wednesday, the Cleveland Guardians promoted shortstop Angel Genao from Triple-A Columbus for his major league debut against the New York Mets. The 22-year-old, ranked No. 2 prospect by MLB Pipeline, joins the roster immediately.
- Manager Stephen Vogt confirmed the move as third baseman Jose Ramirez battles lingering soreness in his surgically repaired left wrist. Ramirez, who returned from the injured list on July 22, remains day-to-day.
- To accommodate Genao, the Guardians designated utility infielder Gabriel Arias for assignment. Arias committed a throwing error during Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Mets while batting.670 OPS with 57 strikeouts in 134 plate appearances.
- Genao, a switch-hitter, arrives with a.300 average, 13 home runs, and 53 RBI across 356 plate appearances at Columbus. His versatility at shortstop, second, and third offers Cleveland depth behind middle infielders Brayan Rocchio and Travis Bazzana.
- Sitting three games behind the Chicago White Sox in the American League Central, the Guardians hope Genao's bat strengthens their playoff push. Recent acquisitions Jo Adell and Nathaniel Lowe join Genao in reshaping a lineup that has ranked among the league's weakest.
