The Guardians optioned Ingle to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Ingle appeared in seven games for Cleveland after he was promoted from Columbus on June 26. In 24 trips to the plate, Ingle went 2-for-21 with a pair of singles, two RBI, one run scored and a 3:12 BB:K. He'll head back to the minors for more seasoning.

Guardians' Cooper Ingle: Bound for bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Ingle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Ingle will join fellow left-handed hitters Travis Bazzana and Steven Kwan on the bench while southpaw MacKenzie Gore takes the hill for the Rangers. David Fry will draw the start in left field in place of Ingle, who has gone 1-for-11 with three walks, two RBI and one run in his first four MLB games since being called up from Triple-A Columbus last week. The rookie also committed a mental error Tuesday that allowed the winning run to score in a 4-2 victory for Texas.

Guardians' Cooper Ingle: Makes MLB debut
Rotowire
Ingle started at designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Friday's 3-1 loss to Seattle.
Ingle had his contract selected from Triple-A Columbus on Friday and made his MLB debut. The Guardians need an offensive infusion and hope Ingle can help turn the tide. Over 51 games at Columbus, he slashed .284/.416/.551 with nine doubles, 12 home runs, 41 RBI and 41 walks with 50 strikeouts. Ingle came up through the system as a catcher, but the Guardians are expected to work him in at other positions, including DH and outfield.

Guardians' Cooper Ingle: Promotion to majors made official
Rotowire
The Guardians selected Ingle's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
To make room for Ingle on the 26-man and 40-man rosters, the Guardians DFA'd Stuart Fairchild. In his major-league debut Friday against the Mariners, Ingle will bat fifth as the designated hitter. The 24-year-old top prospect has slashed .284/.416/.551 with 12 homers, 41 RBI, 33 runs scored, one stolen base and a 41:50 BB:K across 221 trips to the plate at Triple-A this season. A catcher by trade, Ingle is also expected to get reps in left field with Cleveland.

Guardians' Cooper Ingle: Back in action at Triple-A
Rotowire
Ingle (hip) went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts Sunday in his return to the Triple-A Columbus lineup after being activated from the 7-day injured list.
Ingle operated as the designated hitter for Columbus in his first game action since April 22, but he should resume catching on a regular basis before long once his right hip injury is further in the rear-view mirror. The 24-year-old had gotten off to an excellent start to the season before landing on the shelf, going 13-for-33 (.394 average) with four home runs, 16 RBI and 14 runs in his first 15 games.

Guardians' Cooper Ingle: Bops two homers Sunday
Rotowire
Ingle went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs, four RBI and an additional run scored for Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.
Ingle is off to an impressive start for the Clippers, slashing .357/.617/.786 with 18 walks, four home runs and 12 RBI over 47 plate appearances. A .400 BABIP has helped, but Ingle is patient hitter that makes contact, knows how to get on base and rarely strikes out. With just 41 career games at Triple-A, he may not be ready for a promotion, but if Bo Naylor's bat continues to underwhelm (.156/.224/.244), Ingle could make his MLB debut at some point in the near future.

Guardians' Cooper Ingle: Heading to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Guardians promoted Ingle from Double-A Akron to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.
Ingle, a 23-year-old catching prospect, batted .273 with nine home runs and a 65:70 BB:K over 403 plate appearances with Akron. He'll likely finish out the 2025 season and open the 2026 campaign as Columbus' No. 1 catcher, but Ingle should have a good chance at reaching the majors at some point next summer.
