The Guardians provided updates on their injured players, with Bieber and McKenzie long tossing and working their way toward throwing bullpens, Josh Naylor starting to swing, and David Fry at about 85% coming back from a hamstring strain. Cal Quantrill was throttled in his last rehab appearance, but his velocity was apparently good and he feels like he’s at the start of Spring Training. Seeing all of these familiar faces back would make for a happier ending to a disappointing season.
The Guardians also exchanged Zack Collins for old friend Eric Haase who had been recently designated for assignment by the Tigers.
