• Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Set to play in Fall League

  09/25/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Guardians list DeLauter (hamstring) as one the organization's eight prospects on the Surprise Saguaros' Arizona Fall League roster. DeLauter finished the 2024 season on Triple-A Columbus' 7-day injured list with a right hamstring strain, but the expectation is that he'll be ready to play when Fall League play opens Oct. 7. In addition to the hamstring strain, injuries to both of DeLauter's feet limited him to just 159 plate appearances between Columbus and Double-A Akron in 2024. The assignment to the Fall League will afford DeLauter the opportunity to get some more competitive at-bats in before spring training.

• Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Goes on Triple-A IL

  08/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  DeLauter was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Columbus on Friday with a right hamstring strain. The 22-year-old had posted an 1.147 OPS in six games after being promoted to Columbus, putting himself on the radar for a potential September call-up. While the severity of the strain is unclear, DeLauter would appear to now be a long shot to get a late-season look in the majors. He has loads of talent but just can't stay on the field, having missed ample time the last two seasons with foot and other lower-body problems.

  DeLauter will be promoted from Double-A Akron to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday. DeLauter returned to action for Akron in late July after missing nearly two months of action with a foot injury. He had homered in each of his last three games and in four of his past seven contests with Akron. DeLauter has slashed .318/.385/.502 in two minor-league seasons but has been plagued by nagging foot problems.

• Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Activated from IL

  DeLauter (toe) was activated from Double-A Akron's 7-day injured list Saturday. The top prospect went 2-for-8 with a home run, a walk and three runs scored over three rehab games with the Guardians' Arizona Complex League affiliate. DeLauter did not play on consecutive days during his rehab assignment, so it's likely he'll be eased back in at Akron, potentially serving occasionally as the designated hitter.

• Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Rehabbing in Arizona

  07/21/2024 • By RotoWire

  DeLauter (toe) began a rehab assignment with the Guardians' Arizona Complex League affiliate on Saturday. DeLauter has played just one game since April due to a broken left foot and then a sprained toe on his right foot. He's dealt with multiple foot injuries, primarily to the left one, during his minor-league career. Given his lengthy absence, he'll likely need at least a handful of rehab games before he can return to Double-A Akron's lineup.
