Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Supplies offense in loss
Manzardo went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Texas.
Manzardo put the Guardians up early with his two-run shot in the first inning off Jacob deGrom. It was the 10th homer of the season for the 25-year-old first baseman, whose bat has come around after a slow start to the season. Manzardo, who posted a .186/.268/.244 slash line through the end of April, has slashed .257/.351/.486 with nine homers and 22 RBI over 48 games since May 1.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Heading to bench Monday
Manzardo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.
Rhys Hoskins will draw the start at first base while southpaw Tyler Alexander opens the game for Texas, but the left-handed-hitting Manzardo could replace Hoskins at some point later in the contest once the Rangers send a right-hander to the bump. Manzardo had started each of the Guardians' last 12 games but went just 8-for-42 (.190 average) with 15 strikeouts during that stretch.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Drives in three runs Saturday
Manzardo went 2-for-4 with a home run and three total RBI in an 8-1 victory versus the Astros on Saturday.
Manzardo broke a 1-1 tie with a two-run homer to the opposite field in the third inning. He capped the scoring in the contest with a run-scoring single in the seventh. Manzardo has gone deep twice in his past three games to push his total to nine home runs on the season. Though he's often sat against lefty starters this season, Manzardo has been in the lineup the past two times Cleveland has faced a southpaw, and his bat has become more important due to Jose Ramirez (hand) being in the midst of an extended absence.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Taking seat against southpaw
Manzardo isn't in the Guardians' starting lineup Saturday versus the Tigers.
Manzardo will begin on the bench for the second time in Cleveland's past three games -- both against southpaw starters. He regularly sits against lefty hurlers, though his .885 OPS versus southpaws is significantly higher than his .674 OPS against righties. Regardless, Rhys Hoskins is starting at first base and Jose Ramirez is getting a turn at DH on Saturday against Detroit ace Tarik Skubal.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Idle against southpaw
Manzardo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
The Guardians will roll out a right-handed-heavy lineup to counter Yankees southpaw Carlos Rodon in the series finale, so Manzardo will take a seat Wednesday along with fellow lefty hitters Chase DeLauter and Steven Kwan. Cleveland will go with Rhys Hoskins at first base in Manzardo's stead.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Exiting starting lineup
Manzardo is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Yankees.
The left-handed-hitting Manzardo was in the lineup the last time the Guardians faced a lefty, but he'll take a seat in this one as the Yankees send southpaw Carlos Rodon to the bump. Rhys Hoskins is handling first base for Cleveland.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Goes deep again
Manzardo went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Yankees.
Manzardo clubbed his seventh home run of the season to give Cleveland an early lead in the second inning. It was the second straight game with a home run for Manzardo, who is 5-for-8 with four extra-base hits and three RBI in the first two games of the series. He's feasted on New York pitching during his brief time in the majors, going 8-for-21 (.381) with seven extra-base hits (four HR) and six RBI over seven contests.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Goes deep in Tuesday's win
Manzardo went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during the Guardians' 9-4 win over the Yankees on Tuesday.
Manzardo gave the Guardians a 3-2 lead in the fourth after taking Cam Schlittler deep to right-center field for a two-run home run. It was the sixth home run of the season for Manzardo and fourth in his last 12 games, though he's behind pace to match the 27 long balls that he struck in the 2025 regular season. He has a .688 OPS with 11 extra-base hits, 19 RBI and 21 runs scored across 185 plate appearances this season.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: On bench against righty again
Manzardo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
The 25-year-old will sit for the fourth time in five games, with three of his absences coming against right-handed pitchers. Manager Stephen Vogt's decision to keep Manzardo out of the lineup of late is somewhat surprising, as he's overcome a slow start to post a .924 OPS since the beginning of May. Rhys Hoskins will draw a fifth consecutive start.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Comes off bench to play hero
Manzardo went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Friday's 1-0 win over the Phillies.
The 25-year-old ceded first base to Rhys Hoskins with southpaw Cristopher Sanchez on the mound for Philly, but after tossing eight scoreless innings Sanchez was lifted from the game. Manzardo came off the bench as a pinch hitter to face Jhoan Duran and drove a first-pitch splitter over the wall in left field for the game's only run. It was Manzardo's fifth long ball of the season, and four of them have come in May -- over 17 games on the month, he's batting .300 (15-for-50) with 10 RBI and 15 runs.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Out of lineup again Thursday
Manzardo is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Tigers.
Detroit's starting pitcher, Casey Mize, throws right-handed but has extreme reverse splits this season, so the left-handed-hitting Manzardo will take a seat for the second straight day. Rhys Hoskins will cover first base and bat cleanup as the Guardians try to complete the four-game sweep.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Heading to bench Wednesday
Manzardo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
The Guardians typically hold the left-handed-hitting Manzardo out against left-handed starters, but he'll miss out on a start Wednesday against right-hander Drew Anderson. Cleveland will go with Rhys Hoskins at first base as the replacement for Manzardo.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Idle in series opener
Manzardo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.
With a .958 OPS on the month, Manzardo has been one of the team's hottest hitters throughout May, but the Guardians will still look to shield him from left-handed pitching. He'll cede first base to Rhys Hoskins in the series opener in Detroit while southpaw Framber Valdez takes the hill for the Tigers.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Homers twice vs. Cincinnati
Manzardo went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Reds.
After striking out in his first at-bat, Manzardo showed out in a big way by taking Brady Singer deep for a two-run homer in the third inning before adding another long ball in the fifth on a day when Cleveland's offense erupted for six total homers. The first baseman now has four home runs on the season and continues to swing a hot bat in May, batting .295 across 13 games this month. Manzardo is now slashing .223/.301/.362 with four doubles, 16 RBI and 15 runs scored across 146 plate appearances.

Manzardo is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.
With left-hander Andrew Abbott on the mound for Cincinnati, Manzardo will take a seat in favor of Rhys Hoskins at first base. Manzardo has had a tough season at the plate, slashing an abysmal .203/.286/.288 with two home runs, 13 RBI, 10 runs scored and a 12:41 BB:K across 133 trips to the plate.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Receiving breather Wednesday
Manzardo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
With lefty Reid Detmers on the hill for the Angels, the left-handed-hitting Manzardo will get a break after he had started in each of the Guardians' last four games. Rhys Hoskins will step in for Manzardo at first base and will bat cleanup.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Heading to bench Monday
Manzardo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.
Manzardo typically starts against right-handed pitchers, but he'll hit the bench for the series opener in Kansas City while Michael Wacha toes the rubber for the Royals. The Guardians will go with Rhys Hoskins at first base in place of Manzardo, who has followed up his 27-homer 2025 regular season with just two long balls through his first 31 games of 2026.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Goes deep in win
Manzardo entered Saturday's game as a pinch hitter and belted a three-run home run in his lone plate appearance in a 14-6 win over the Athletics.
Manzardo finished up the game at first base after stepping in for Rhys Hoskins against right-hander Luis Morales. It was the second home run of the season and first in 17 games for Manzardo, who hasn't developed as hoped during his third season in the majors. He's serving on the strong side of a platoon at first base, but the Manzardo/Hoskins tandem is slugging a league-low .283 at the position with just two home runs and 11 RBI between them.
