Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Homers early in win
Rotowire
Manzardo started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.
Manzardo, who was recently moved into the cleanup spot, went yard in the first inning for what proved to be the game-winning hit. It was his fourth home run through 12 games, and Manzardo's 11 RBI leads the club. He made only six starts at first base in 2024 compared to 40 at DH, denying him 1B eligibility in more restrictive fantasy formats, and Thursday's game was his third start at the position in 2025. The Guardians' desire to manage the workload of 39-year-old Carlos Santana, Cleveland's primary first baseman, should result in Manzardo gaining some extra positional flexibility later this season.
Manzardo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Angels.
Manzardo cracked his third home run of the season in the fourth inning to tie the game at 2-2 before the Angels pulled away in the latter innings. He leads the Guardians with nine RBI through nine games.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Makes first start in field
Rotowire
Manzardo started at first base and went 0-for-3 with an RBI in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Padres.
Like most Cleveland hitters, Manzardo had a quiet series (0-for-9) against the Padres, who swept the Guardians. Manzardo, who was the DH in his first five starts, made his debut in the field Wednesday, with the 38-year-old Carlos Santana moving from first base to DH. Manzardo, whose primary position in the minors was first base, has served mostly in the DH role since coming up to the majors in 2024.
Manzardo is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in San Diego.
The left-handed hitting Manzardo started each of the first three contests of the season, including one versus a southpaw, but he'll get a day off Monday against lefty Kyle Hart. Johnathan Rodriguez is getting a start at designated hitter as Manzardo rests.
Manzardo went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over Kansas City.

He posted a .999 OPS this spring and is already paying dividends to those who bought in on the offseason breakout hype.
