If you snuggled into bed early last night, dreaming of your favorite baseball team’s five-man rotation heading into Opening Day, you might have missed some news that was dropped at around 9:30 p.m. ET night.

The Guardians revealed that Triston McKenzie could miss two months of baseball action with a strain in his right teres major muscle. He will be completely sidelined for two weeks and “may need up to eight weeks to return to play,” according to Mandy Bell.

Hunter Gaddis is the easiest option to use as the fifth starter for the time being, and he may need to start on Friday, which was McKenzie’s first scheduled start of 2023.
