Today is the start of a new month. So let’s brush off the rough weekend and take a look back on all of the positive things that happened for the Cleveland Guardians last week.
Noel Makes Stunning Debut
The Guardians called up prospect Jhonkensy Noel on Wednesday after optioning Johnathan Rodríguez. A Jhon for a John. After being placed in the starting lineup that night, Noel immediately made his case for why he should stay in the big leagues. In his first-ever Major League at bat, Noel hit a home run. Although it wasn’t enough in the Guardians’ 4-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, the homer proved that Noel is ready and that his power made the transition to the bigs along with him.
