Guardians' Will Brennan: Out of lineup again in Game 2
Brennan is not in the lineup Monday for Game 2 of the ALDS against the Tigers, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
With southpaw Tarik Skubal on the bump for the Tigers, the left-handed hitting Brennan will begin the contest on the bench. He didn't start against lefty opener Tyler Holton in Game 1, either, nor did he enter versus any of the three righties the Tigers used after Holton. Jhonkensy Noel is getting the call again in right field for the Guardians.

Guardians' Will Brennan: Not starting Game 1 of ALDS
Brennan is not in Cleveland's lineup for Game 1 of the American League Division Series versus Detroit.
Brennan started all three games during the Guardians' final series of the regular season against Houston, playing twice in right field and once in left field. However, Jhonkensy Noel will start in right field in the first game of the ALDS while Steven Kwan gets the start in left. Brennan plays mostly against right-handed pitchers, and Detroit is opening Game 1 with southpaw Tyler Holton, which likely explains Brennan's exclusion from the lineup. However, Brennan could enter the game at some point, as righty Reese Olson is expected to work in bulk relief Saturday.

Guardians' Will Brennan: Delivers three hits in loss
Brennan went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Astros.
Brennan has gone 12-for-26 (.462) over his last 10 games, filling a part-time role in the outfield for the Guardians. He got a leadoff look Saturday with Steven Kwan resting now that Cleveland has clinched a spot in the ALDS. Brennan is at a .264/.309/.388 slash line, eight home runs, 30 RBI, 37 runs scored, 13 doubles and four stolen bases over 114 contests. He's likely to be a strong-side platoon option for the postseason.

Guardians' Will Brennan: Heading to bench Wednesday
Brennan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.
He'll give way in right field to Jhonkensy Noel in the series finale after going 2-for-5 at the dish while picking up starts in both of the past two contests. With Steven Kwan returning from the injured list Wednesday and settling back in as the Guardians' everyday left fielder, Brennan could face a threat for playing time not only from Noel, but also Angel Martinez. Martinez had been serving as the primary replacement in left for the duration of Kwan's absence.

Guardians' Will Brennan: Resting up Saturday
Brennan isn't in the Guardians' lineup for Saturday's game versus the Cardinals.
Brennan will get a day off Saturday after going 0-for-4 during a win in Friday's series opener. He'll be replaced in right field by Jhonkensy Noel, who will bat seventh.

Guardians' Will Brennan: Out of lineup again Thursday
Brennan is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Twins.
For the second straight day, the Guardians have gone with Jhonkensy Noel in right field over Brennan against a right-handed pitcher. Brennan came off the bench to deliver a game-tying RBI single in the 10th inning of Wednesday's win over the Twins, so it's possible he'll make another mid-game appearance Thursday.

Guardians' Will Brennan: Taking seat Wednesday
Brennan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Jhonkensy Noel will step in as the Guardians' starting right fielder Wednesday, but Brennan appears to be the favored option at the moment. Brennan started in each of the Guardians' last three matchups with right-handers and produced four hits in 11 at-bats during that stretch.

Guardians' Will Brennan: Regaining playing time against RHPs
Brennan will start in right field and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Twins.
Brennan will make a second straight start in right field against a right-handed pitcher (Pablo Lopez) and might have re-emerged as the Guardians' preferred option at the position over Jhonkensy Noel, who has produced a .426 OPS with a 32.4 percent strikeout rate since the start of September. Noel should still be a priority over Brennan when the Guardians face left-handed pitching.

Guardians' Will Brennan: Batting leadoff Sunday
Brennan will start in left field and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Though he'll fill in atop the batting order for a resting Steven Kwan on Sunday, Brennan's time as a strong-side platoon player for the Guardians could be over. He had been on the bench for four of the Guardians' previous six matchups with right-handed pitching, with rookie Kyle Manzardo and Lane Thomas seemingly have overtaken Brennan as the team's preferred options at designated hitter and in right field, respectively.

Guardians' Will Brennan: Sitting in favor of Manzardo
Brennan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.
Kyle Manzardo will replace Brennan in the lineup for a second straight game, with manager Stephen Vogt opting to reward the rookie with another start after he slugged two solo home runs and drew a walk in his return from Triple-A Columbus in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates. Though Brennan has a longer track record at the big-league level, Manzardo is regarded as one of the organization's top prospects and unquestionably brings more upside to the table. If Manzardo can turn in another productive day at the plate Monday, he would build a stronger case for supplanting Brennan as the Guardians' primary designated hitter versus right-handed pitching.

Guardians' Will Brennan: Taking seat Sunday
Brennan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
The lefty-hitting Brennan typically sits against left-handed pitching, but he'll head to the bench Sunday against righty Mitch Keller. He'll cede his spot in the lineup to September call-up Kyle Manzardo from Triple-A Columbus, who will serve as the Guardians' designated hitter.

Guardians' Will Brennan: On bench versus southpaw
Brennan is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.
Brennan has a .567 OPS over his past 10 games and will sit Friday as lefty Bailey Falter takes the mound for Pittsburgh. David Fry will bat cleanup as the designated hitter in the series opener.

Guardians' Will Brennan: Sitting out versus left-hander
Brennan is not in the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader versus the Royals.
The Royals are starting lefty Cole Ragans in the afternoon contest, so the left-handed-hitting Brennan will begin the game on the bench. He is a good bet to be in the lineup for the nightcap against right-hander Alec Marsh.

Guardians' Will Brennan: Out against southpaw
Brennan is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Rangers.
Brennan started the previous three games and went 3-for-11 with a walk, two doubles, an RBI and two runs. He'll sit Sunday against Texas lefty Cody Bradford, which opens up the DH spot for David Fry.

Guardians' Will Brennan: Knocks three hits in loss
Brennan went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Brewers.
Brennan remains hot at the plate, going 11-for-25 (.440) over seven games since he was recalled from Triple-A Columbus. The outfielder has just two extra-base hits in that span, but that plays just fine for slap-happy Cleveland. The outfielder is up to a .254/.305/.397 slash line with eight home runs, 26 RBI, 31 runs scored and three stolen bases over 272 plate appearances this season.

Guardians' Will Brennan: Out of lineup vs. lefty
Brennan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.
Since returning from Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Brennan seems to have taken back a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching, but the Guardians will continue to shield the lefty-hitting outfielder from southpaws. Jhonkensy Noel will get the nod in right field in place of Brennan on Monday while the Cubs send lefty Shota Imanaga to the bump.
