  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Lasts 4.1 innings vs. Twins

    Cantillo didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Minnesota, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out six.

    Cantillo pitched well for the most part Thursday, though he struggled with command at times and ultimately was forced out of the game midway through the fifth inning after throwing 86 pitches. The 24-year-old Cantillo has allowed just two earned runs across 18 innings in his last four outings, lowering his ERA to 4.63 with a 1.20 WHIP and 37:13 K:BB through his first 35 major-league innings. The left-hander is currently lined up for a home matchup with the Reds next week in what could be his final regular-season start.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Tosses five scoreless in win

    Cantillo (2-3) earned the win against the Rays on Saturday, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out six over five scoreless innings.

    Cantillo threw just 45 of 78 pitches for strikes but kept the Rays off balance with an impressive 15 whiffs. The rookie has won two consecutive contests, yielding just one earned run while posting a fantastic 16:1 K:BB. On the season, he owns a 4.99 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB across 30.2 innings and lines up to face the Twins next week.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Drawing another start

    Cantillo is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Rays in Cleveland.

    After returning from Triple-A Columbus on Monday and striking out 10 over seven innings of one-run ball in a win over the White Sox, Cantillo has earned himself a second straight turn through the Cleveland rotation. The left-handed rookie should hold down a rotation spot until the Guardians get Alex Cobb (finger) back from the 15-day injured list.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Fans 10 in first MLB victory

    Cantillo (1-3) earned the win over the White Sox on Monday, allowing one run on two hits while striking out 10 batters over seven innings.

    Cantillo made things look easy against an unintimidating White Sox lineup, racking up 14 whiffs and carrying a perfect game into the bottom of the seventh frame. The rookie southpaw faded a bit in that inning, giving up a pair of two-out singles sandwiched around a wild pitch that allowed Chicago to get on the scoreboard, but that took only a tiny bit of shine off what was by far the best performance of his big-league career thus far. Given Cantillo's performance Monday, it wouldn't be surprising if he gets another turn in the rotation, though it's not clear how Cleveland would adjust its rotation to fit him in -- his opportunity Monday came as a result of the struggling Ben Lively having his scheduled start pushed back.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Recalled ahead of start

    The Guardians recalled Cantillo from Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

    Cantillo will make a start Monday against the White Sox. Ben Lively had been in line to take the hill Monday, but Lively has struggled lately and will have his turn pushed back or perhaps skipped altogether. The left-handed Cantillo has produced an unsightly 7.71 ERA and 15:9 K:BB over 18.2 innings in four starts and one relief appearance with the Guardians this season.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Start on tap Monday

    Cantillo is expected to be called up from Triple-A Columbus to start Monday's contest against the White Sox, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Cantillo was optioned to Columbus on Aug. 27 after he pitched 1.2 scoreless innings against the Royals in Game 1 of the team's doubleheader that day. The left-hander has appeared in five games with Cleveland this season, including four starts, producing an inflated 7.71 ERA with 15 strikeouts over 18.2 frames. Cantillo will replace Ben Lively in the Guardians rotation Monday, and it's currently unclear when Lively might make his next start.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Sent down

    Cantillo was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

    Cantillo's demotion was expected after he served as the 27th man in Monday's doubleheader versus the Royals. He's pitched to a 7.71 ERA over 18.2 innings in the majors this year. With an off day Thursday, the Guardians may be able to get by with a four-man rotation until Alex Cobb (fingernail) is ready to return, which means Cantillo could be staying at Triple-A for a while.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Works late in Game 1

    Cantillo didn't allow a baserunner over 1.2 scoreless innings and struck out one in a 4-3 loss to the Royals in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader.

    Cantillo was scheduled to pitch in the game but didn't appear until the eighth inning, as the Guardians opted for a true bullpen game in the matinee rather than an opener/bulk reliever format. This was Cantillo's first scoreless appearance in five major-league outings this season. He now has a 7.71 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB over 18.2 innings. He was the 27th man for the doubleheader, so it's likely Cantillo will be returned to Triple-A Columbus before Tuesday's game.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Recalled, set to pitch in Game 1

    The Guardians recalled Cantillo from Triple-A Columbus prior to Monday's doubleheader with the Royals.

    Cantillo is expected to pitch in the first game of the twin bill, likely serving as a bulk reliever once opening pitcher Nick Sandlin exits the contest after working an inning or two. The Guardians had previously deployed Cantillo as a traditional starter in each of his prior four outings with the big club, but the lefty submitted an 8.47 ERA and 1.76 WHIP over 17 innings across those contests. Cantillo is expected to be returned to Columbus following the twin bill.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Set to work behind opener Monday

    Cantillo will be recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Monday and is expected to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Nick Sandlin in the first game of the Guardians' doubleheader with the Royals, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    Cantillo had started in each of his previous four appearances with the big club, but manager Stephen Vogt will have the young lefty work behind an opener with the hope of generating better results. The 24-year-old had been roughed up over his four starts with Cleveland, recording an 8.47 ERA and 1.76 WHIP while striking out 14 and issuing nine walks over 17 innings. He's likely to be returned to Columbus following the twin bill.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Could start Monday

    Cantillo will be called up from Triple-A Columbus to serve as the 27th man for Monday's doubleheader against the Royals, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    The Guardians have yet to officially announce their pitching plans for the twin bill, but Cantillo and Logan Allen will both be called up from Triple-A and should start the two contests in some order. Cantillo was demoted to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday, but he can make a quick return to the majors because he's being designated as the 27th man. The 24-year-old has struggled in his first taste of the big leagues this year with an 8.47 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB over 17 innings.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Heading back to Triple-A

    The Guardians optioned Cantillo to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.

    While making his fourth start of the season for the Guardians on Wednesday against the Yankees, Cantillo was dealt a third consecutive loss after yielding seven earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over four innings. Despite being optioned to Columbus, Cantillo could still be a candidate to get called up again Monday, when the Guardians will require two starting pitchers for a doubleheader with the Royals. However, with Cantillo now owning an 8.47 ERA and 1.76 WHIP through 17 innings with the big club, the Guardians could be compelled to go in a different direction.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Tough night in New York

    Cantillo (0-3) took the loss Wednesday as the Guardians fell 8-1 to the Yankees, surrendering seven runs on six hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out five.

    Two-run homers by Juan Soto in the first inning and Aaron Judge in the third accounted for most of the damage off the rookie southpaw. Cantillo got the hook after 88 pitches (50 strikes), and he's now served up six long balls while walking nine batters in his first 17 big-league innings, highlighting how much work he'll need to do to improve his control and command before he'll be a viable fantasy option. With Alex Cobb (finger) out until the end of the month, Cantillo is likely to get at least one more start, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Royals.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Recalled ahead of start

    The Guardians recalled Cantillo from Triple-A Columbus in advance of his start Wednesday against the Yankees.

    The lefty will pick up his fourth career MLB start after yielding nine earned runs on 15 hits and six walks while striking out nine over 13 innings across his first three outings with the big club. Following Wednesday's game, Cantillo could stick around with the Guardians to make another start during Monday's doubleheader with the Royals, but he could be optioned back to Triple-A after that if Alex Cobb (fingernail) is able to return from the 15-day injured list later on in the week.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Likely to start Wednesday

    Cantillo is likely to be called up from Triple-A Columbus to start Wednesday against the Yankees, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    The Guardians have yet to name a rotation replacement for Alex Cobb (finger), but Cantillo had a locker in the clubhouse at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday. The lefty has made three previous starts for Cleveland, allowing nine runs with a 9:6 K:BB over 13 innings. Cantillo will tentatively line up to make an additional start early next week during a doubleheader versus the Royals.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Sent back to Triple-A

    Cantillo was returned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday after serving as the 27th man in Friday's doubleheader versus the Twins.

    Cantillo allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 5.2 innings, but he took his second loss in three major-league starts. With Matthew Boyd (elbow) nearing a return from the injured list, Cantillo has no obvious path to a rotation spot for the Guardians unless another injury arises.

  • Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Falls to Twins

    Cantillo (0-2) took the loss in the opening game of Friday's doubleheader with the Twins, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out two.

    Cantillo allowed a run in the first inning before Minnesota added solo homers in the second and fourth. The 24-year-old has allowed three runs in each of his three starts in the majors this year, posting a 6.23 ERA with a 1.62 WHIP and nine strikeouts over 13 innings. The left-hander figures to return to Triple-A following Friday's outing, where he has a 2.79 ERA in seven starts.
