DeLauter (hamstring) will start in right field and bat second Friday against the Rockies, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.
DeLauter sat out the Guardians' last three games after suffering a hamstring injury Sunday, but he now seems to be feeling well enough to return to the starting nine without spending time on the injured list. The 24-year-old was performing great in the month of August before getting hurt, slashing .339/.422/.482 with two homers, six RBI, 11 runs scored and three steals across 64 plate appearances.
