Avila is on the Guardians' roster for the ALCS versus the Yankees, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. Avila was not on Cleveland's ALDS roster, but after it used its bullpen heavily against the Tigers it makes sense to add some more relief protection. The 27-year-old Avila is capable of pitching multiple innings, having tallied 74.2 frames over 50 appearances while posting a 3.25 ERA during the regular season for the Guardians.

Avila (6-1) earned the win Tuesday over the White Sox, allowing two hits over two scoreless innings. He did not record a strikeout or issue a walk. Avila entered the game in the third inning after Ben Lively exited with a bruised thigh. This was Avila's third win over his last 13 appearances, but he's allowed eight runs across 13.2 innings in that span. The right-hander has pitched to a 3.99 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 79:32 K:BB over 76.2 innings between the Guardians and the Padres this year. He remains a multi-inning option out of the bullpen for Cleveland.

Avila (5-1) retired both batters he faced, including one via strikeout, to earn the win Friday over the Pirates. Avila got the last two outs of the fifth inning after starter Ben Lively was chased following a barrage of hits from the Pirates in that frame. The Guardians replied with a four-run rally of their own and led the rest of the way, giving Avila his second win in 14 appearances this month. He's allowed six runs on 12 hits and five walks while striking out 16 over 14.2 innings in that span. For the year, Avila has done fairly well in a middle-relief role with a 3.95 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 74:31 K:BB over 70.2 innings between the Guardians and the Padres.

Avila (4-1) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two over two-thirds of an inning, earning the win Tuesday over the Cubs. Avila got the last two outs in the top of the sixth inning before the Guardians took the lead in their half of the frame. The right-hander's tenure in Cleveland started off rough, but he's been steady with just two runs allowed and a 17:6 K:BB over 14.2 innings since the All-Star break. Overall, he has a 3.68 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 67:29 K:BB through 63.2 innings between the Guardians and the Padres this season.

Avila (3-1) allowed a run on one hit and struck out two over 1.1 innings to earn the win Saturday over the Giants. Avila worked in the sixth and seventh innings, and he was credited with the win by the official scorer in a game in which the Guardians never trailed despite Logan Allen's 4.1-inning start. Avila has worked more than an inning in seven straight appearances, allowing four runs over 12.2 frames with a 10:8 K:BB in that span. Overall, he's pitched to a 3.86 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 48:21 K:BB through 46.2 innings between the Guardians and the Padres this season. Avila continues to fill a low-leverage role for Cleveland.
