  • Guardians' Will Brennan: Swipes fifth bag

    Brennan went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and a hit-by-pitch in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Twins.

    Brennan is starting to heat up -- this was his fourth straight game with multiple hits, a span in which he's gone 9-for-15 (.600). Prior to this surge, he'd gone just 2-for-15 over his previous seven contests. Any show of consistency is a positive for Brennan, as the Guardians have been lacking it lately. He's up to a .250/.287/.344 slash line with five steals, two home runs, 12 RBI and 14 runs scored through 136 plate appearances.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: Sitting against southpaw

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: Provides three hits in win

    Brennan went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Monday's 5-0 win over the Orioles.

    Brennan had gone 5-for-26 (.192) over 10 games since his last multi-hit effort. This was the outfielder's first three-hit game this season, as he and many other Guardians have struggled to hit consistently. For the season, he's slashing just .222/.258/.325 with two home runs, six doubles, four stolen bases, 11 RBI and 14 runs scored through 124 plate appearances. Brennan is likely to remain on the strong side of a platoon in right field, mainly sharing the position with Gabriel Arias.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: Out against left-hander

    Brennan is out of the lineup Sunday versus the Cardinals.

    Brennan will once again take a seat against a southpaw with Jordan Montgomery on the hill for St. Louis. Gabriel Arias will get the start in right field and hit fifth against Montgomery and the Cardinals.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: Out versus righty

    Brennan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    The lefty-hitting Brennan has largely served as a strong-side platoon option in right field this season, but he'll give way to the righty-hitting Gabriel Arias even though the Guardians are facing a right-hander (Michael Kopech). Brennan's move to the bench against a righty could signal that his placement atop the depth chart may be unsteady, given that he's mustered a .216/.231/.275 slash line thus far in May and a .558 OPS overall on the season.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: Swats second homer

    Brennan went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the White Sox.

    Brennan opened the scoring with his third-inning solo shot off Chicago starter Dylan Cease. This was Brennan's second homer of the season, and he's now hit safely in six of his last eight games, going 7-for-25 (.280) in that span. The outfielder is slashing just .213/.252/.306 with 11 RBI, 12 runs scored and four stolen bases through 115 plate appearances this season. The recent solid hitting has helped him earn a strong-side platoon role in right field.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: On bench for matinee

    Brennan is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader with the Mets.

    Brennan will take a seat for Sunday's matinee after he extended his hit streak to four games Friday, batting .333 with two runs scored, a walk and a stolen base over that stretch. Gabriel Arias will draw the start in right field and will bat sixth in Game 1.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: Records steal in loss

    Brennan went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 10-9 extra-inning loss to the Mets.

    Brennan is 5-for-15 (.333) over his last four games, but all of those hits were singles. The outfielder is slashing just .214/.257/.286 with a home run, four steals, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored and four doubles through 105 plate appearances. He should continue to see at least a strong-side platoon role in right field, though he hasn't shown enough to move out of the bottom half of the order.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: Out against lefty

    Brennan is out of Saturday's lineup against the Angels.

    He typically sits against southpaws, and Gabriel Arias gets the start in right field in this one with lefty Reid Detmers starting for the Halos. Brennan may sit out Sunday as well with Patrick Sandoval slated to start for the opposition.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: On bench against lefty

    Brennan is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus Detroit.

    As has usually been the case this season, Brennan will head to the bench as Cleveland faces a left-hander in Eduardo Rodriguez. Gabriel Arias will draw a second start in the last three days in right field and will bat eighth in the series finale with the Tigers.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: Records third steal

    Brennan went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Tigers.

    Brennan got aboard with a single in the eighth inning, then stole second and scored on an Amed Rosario triple. This was Brennan's third multi-hit effort of the season, and he's also notched three steals in as many attempts. The outfielder is slashing .211/.256/.303 with a home run, 10 RBI, nine runs scored and four doubles through 82 plate appearances. He'll likely platoon with Gabriel Arias in right field while Oscar Gonzalez tries to get on track at Triple-A Columbus.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: Sits against lefty

    Brennan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    Even though the Guardians recently sent Oscar Gonzalez to Triple-A Columbus, the lefty-hitting Brennan looks like he'll remain part of a platoon in right field. The righty-hitting Gabriel Arias will replace Brennan in Monday's lineup with the Tigers bringing southpaw Joey Wentz to the hill.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: Not in Saturday's lineup

    Brennan will sit Saturday against the Twins.

    Brennan is hitting just .191/.243/.294 on the season, but he kept his job while the Guardians sent down Oscar Gonzalez, who's hitting an even-worse .192/.213/.288. The move could foretell an increased role for Brennan going forward, but for now it's Gabriel Arias who will get the nod in right field.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: Gets breather against Sale

    Brennan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    The lefty-hitting Brennan has struggled at the plate as of late, but his absence from the starting lineup has more to do with the fact that there's a southpaw on the mound for the opposition in Chris Sale. Oscar Gonzalez will fill in for Brennan in right field in the series finale.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: Homer and steal in Friday's win

    Brennan went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a stolen base, a hit-by-pitch and two total runs scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Red Sox.

    Brennan snapped an 0-for-9 funk with his long ball Friday, which was his first homer this season. The steal was his second of the campaign. The outfielder has slashed .218/.279/.345 with 10 RBI, eight runs scored and four doubles through 61 plate appearances. Brennan should continue to fill a strong-side platoon role in right field since Oscar Gonzalez has also struggled early in 2023.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: Sits against lefty again

    Brennan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

    The lefty-hitting Brennan remains on the bench for a fourth straight game, giving way to the righty-hitting Oscar Gonzalez while the Guardians face a fourth consecutive southpaw starter (Austin Gomber). The two players remain in a strict platoon in the right field, but given the greater share of right-handed arms around the league, Brennan projects to play more frequently than Gonzalez.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: On bench versus lefty

    Brennan is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Marlins.

    Cleveland is facing a left-handed starter (Jesus Luzardo) for the sixth time in seven games, so Brennan once again finds himself on the bench. Oscar Gonzalez will receive another start in right field Sunday for the Guardians.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: Sits against southpaw

    Brennan will hit the bench for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Marlins.

    Brennan and Oscar Gonzalez have been in something close to a strict platoon in right field, with Brennan starting against all but two righties this season while Gonzalez starts against every lefties. The Marlins are trotting out two lefties - Devin Smeltzer and Braxton Garrett - in Saturday's doubleheader, so it's possible Brennan sits both games.

  • Guardians' Will Brennan: Breather Friday

    Brennan is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Marlins.

    Brennan will get a breather after he went 1-for-8 with three strikeouts over the last two games of a series with the Tigers. Oscar Gonzalez will take over in right field and bat fifth in the series opener with southpaw Braxton Garrett on the mound for the Marlins.
