The Guardians have some decisions to make regarding their bench for the playoffs, some of which may be influenced by games played this week.
The Guardians have 11 of 13 spots on their roster that are very clear for their expected appearance in the ALDS. Catchers: Bo Naylor and Austin Hedges, First Basemen/DH's: Josh Naylor, David Fry and Kyle Manzardo, Second Baseman: Andres Giménez, Third Baseman: José Ramírez, Shortstop: Brayan Rocchio, Left-Fielder: Steven Kwan, Center-fielder: Lane Thomas, Right-Fielder: Will Brennan (he's their most trusted right-field defender, 6-12 as a pinch-hitter and he is a clubhouse cog - he will make it).
