• Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Idle against southpaw

  09/28/2025 • By RotoWire

  Manzardo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers. Southpaw Patrick Corbin is on the hill for Texas, so Manzardo and fellow left-handed hitters George Valera and C.J. Kayfus will head to the bench. With Manzardo sitting, Jose Ramirez will get a day off from playing the field and will serve as Cleveland's designated hitter.

• Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Goes yard in defeat

  09/27/2025 • By RotoWire

  Manzardo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-2 loss to Texas. Manazardo blasted his 27th homer of the year and his first since Sept. 10 against the Royals. The 25-year-old slugger has been a quality power hitter in 2025, though his fantasy appeal has been limited by his weak batting average and lack of run-scoring production. Through 465 at-bats, Manzardo is hitting .232 with just 47 runs scored and two stolen bases, albeit with 70 RBI.

  Manzardo went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Kansas City. Manzardo responded to the Royals jumping out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning with a two-run blast in the bottom of the frame. It was the fifth home run in the last 11 games for Manzardo, who is 12-for-37 (.324) with six extra-base hits, 10 RBI and seven runs scored during that stretch. He's second on the team with 28 homers and is having a strong second half, slashing .282/.381/.542 with 11 home runs and 30 RBI over 43 games since the All-Star break.

• Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Powers up in loss

  Manzardo went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Tampa Bay. He was also hit by a pitch. Jose Ramirez and Manzardo belted back-to-back home runs to lead off the ninth inning, but that's where the Guardians' comeback stalled. The homer was Manzardo's 25th of the season and fourth in the last seven games. Earlier in the year, the lefty-hitting Manzardo started against right-handers only, but now manager Stephen Vogt is using him against lefties, too. Manzardo started the last three times the Guardians faced a southpaw starter as the club still has postseason hopes.
