Manzardo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins. Manzardo had served as the Guardians' designated hitter in both of the team's last two matchups with righties, but he'll head to the bench Wednesday even though Minnesota is sending right-hander Bailey Ober to the hill. David Fry will fill in for Manzardo at DH and will bat fifth.

Manzardo went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Monday's 4-3 win over the Twins. The rookie slugger tattooed a Griffin Jax fastball deep to right field in the eighth inning, giving the Guardians their first and only lead of the game. Manzardo still isn't seeing consistent playing time, but he's been a more reliable contributor of late when he is on the lineup card, slashing .278/.333/.583 through 39 plate appearances in September with two doubles and all three of his big-league homers so far.

Manzardo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox. The lefty-hitting Manzardo will head to the bench for the third game in a row while southpaw Jared Shuster opens the game for the White Sox. David Fry will step in for Manzardo as the Guardians' designated hitter.

Manzardo isn't in Cleveland's lineup Saturday against the Dodgers. Manzardo will get a chance to rest Saturday after going 5-for-16 with two home runs through the Guardians' first five games of September. While he sits, David Fry will work as the designated hitter and bat fifth.

Manzardo went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Royals. Manzardo has multiple hits in two of three games since he rejoined the big-league roster. He's gone 5-for-10 with two home runs in that span. The 24-year-old is slashing .239/.276/.424 with two homers, nine RBI, six runs scored, 11 doubles and no stolen bases over 98 plate appearances. He's started three straight games at designated hitter since his recall and looks to be cutting into Will Brennan's playing time, though the right-handed-hitting Jhonkensy Noel could be the one to lose out more often versus right-handed pitchers in the long run.
