  • Sam Hentges RP | SF

    Guardians' Sam Hentges: Moved to 60-day IL

    The Guardians transferred Hentges (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

    Hentges has been on the shelf since July 12 due to left shoulder swelling and was removed from his rehab assignment Aug. 9 with soreness in the shoulder. The move to the 60-day IL means that Hentges won't be eligible to return until Sept. 10. Anthony Gose was called up from Triple-A Columbus to take Hentges' spot on the 40-man roster.

  • Anthony Gose RP | KC

    Guardians' Anthony Gose: Joining big-league roster

    The Guardians selected Gose's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

    Cleveland DFA'd Gose on Aug. 9, but he stuck around in the organization after clearing waivers. Just 10 days later, he'll return to the Guardians' active roster, taking Alex Cobb's (fingernail) spot as Cobb hits the IL. Gose allowed two runs across 1.1 innings in his lone MLB appearance this season but has a 3.46 ERA with a 55:25 K:BB across 39 innings out of the bullpen for Columbus.

  • Alex Cobb SP | DET

    Guardians' Alex Cobb: Goes on IL with fractured nail

    The Guardians placed Cobb on the 15-day injured list Monday with a fractured nail on his right hand.

    Cobb last pitched Wednesday, and it's not clear whether he suffered the injury that day or since then. He had been tentatively slated to start Tuesday against the Yankees, but with Cobb now on the IL, the Guardians could call up Joey Cantillo from Triple-A Columbus to take the hill Tuesday or Wednesday. Cobb has allowed six runs (five earned) over 10.1 innings in his first two starts with the Guardians.
