  • Guardians' Jose Tena: Optioned to Columbus

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

    Tena didn't hit well in 18 major-league games last season, and his struggles have followed him into spring training with a .219/.289/.281 slash line. Tena has played in just 20 Triple-A games in his career, so perhaps spending more time in the minors to develop will help establish himself at the plate.

  • Guardians' Jose Tena: Not hitting well in spring

    Tena has gone 4-for-18 with two RBI, one run scored, four walks and two strikeouts over 12 Cactus League games.

    Tena is at least getting a long look as a reserve infielder, but he hasn't posted the results to justify winning a roster spot. He's also showing a solid eye at the plate, which is encouraging after he struck out 13 times in 34 plate appearances following his call-up last season. Tena's easiest path to the major-league roster would be at shortstop, but Gabriel Arias (illness), Brayan Rocchio and Tyler Freeman are also contenders to see at-bats there. It may be better for Tena's development for him to start the year at Triple-A Columbus.

  • Guardians' Jose Tena: Recalled from Triple-A

    Cleveland recalled Tena from Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    Tena earns a September call-up to the Guardians after slashing .275/.359/.419 with eight homers and 16 steals in 96 games this summer between Double-A and Triple-A. The 22-year-old can back up multiple spots on the infield as Cleveland aims to gain ground in the AL Central standings.

  • Guardians' Jose Tena: Sent down to Triple-A

    Tena was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

    Tena went 2-for-8 at the plate during his brief first stint in the majors. He's being sent out to make room for Tyler Freeman's (shoulder) return from the 10-day injured list.

  • Guardians' Jose Tena: Recalled from Columbus

    Cleveland recalled Tena from Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    Tena was just promoted to the Triple-A level earlier this week after slashing .260/.353/.370 with four homers and 16 steals through 81 games with Double-A Akron. The 22-year-old infielder will give the Guardians some depth as Josh Naylor (side) and Tyler Freeman (shoulder) both head to the 10-day IL.

  • Guardians' Jose Tena: Sent down to Triple-A

    Tena was optioned to Triple-A Columbus by the Guardians on Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    Tena managed to reach Columbus last season, but he doesn't turn 22 until next week and could stand to work on his plate discipline. The infielder has fanned 11 times in 21 Grapefruit League appearances.

  • Guardians' Jose Tena: Promoted to Triple-A

    Tena was promoted to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.

    The 21-year-old middle infielder has spent all season with Double-A Akron, recording a .710 OPS along with 66 RBI. Tena's high strikeout rate -- roughly 25 percent -- continues to be a concern, but if he can find a way to cut his whiffs he may be of use for the big-league club at some point in 2023.

  • Guardians' Jose Tena: Back in action for Akron

    Tena (undisclosed) has gone 1-for-4 with a double in his two games since returning to action Sunday for Double-A Akron.

    Tena missed only a few days after he was scratched from Akron's lineup last Thursday due to an unspecified issue.

  • Guardians' Jose Tena: Scratched from Double-A lineup

    Tena was scratched from Thursday's lineup at Double-A Akron for an unspecified reason, Matt Kardos of MLB.com reports.

    Tena went 0-for-6 with two strikeouts over the last two games, and it's not yet clear why he was a late removal from Thursday's lineup. He's slashing .275/.301/.382 with two homers, 30 runs, 18 RBI and six stolen bases over 51 games in Akron this year.

  • Guardians' Jose Tena: Optioned to minors

    Tena was optioned to minor-league camp Sunday.

    Tena was added to the Guardians' 40-man roster in November but never had a realistic chance to make the Opening Day roster. He spent the 2021 campaign at High-A Lake County, where he hit .281/.331/.467 with 16 home runs, 25 doubles, 58 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 107 games.

  • Guardians' Jose Tena: Added to 40-man roster

    Tena was added to Cleveland's 40-man roster Friday.

    Tena had a strong showing as a 20-year-old at High-A, hitting .281/.331/.467, but he finds himself buried on the organizational depth chart, as Cleveland is loaded with middle infielders in the upper levels. He should head to Double-A next year.
