You won’t hear any excuses from the clubhouse, but the Cleveland Guardians are in a tough spot heading into their weekend series against the New York Yankees. Snow forced a doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday and a COVID outbreak has several players on the injured list.
Among those who will be missing this series are Cal Quantrill and Owen Miller, two pivotal pieces of their early-season success that could have had huge impacts against one of the league’s strongest teams. The storm of uncertain circumstances means that two of the Guardians’ three starters will likely be spot starts.
