Ramirez went 1-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Seattle.

Ramirez added his name to the franchise record book again. His sixth-inning double plated the Guardians' first run and was the 400th of his career, making him the third player in franchise history to amass that many doubles. In 2025, he set the franchise record for career extra-base hits and multi-home run games. Thus far in 2026, Ramirez is 2-for-14 with two doubles and three RBI over the first three games.

Manzardo started a first base and went 1-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

Manzardo served as the designated hitter for the first two games of the season before finally getting a chance to play some defense. The Guardians initially planned to give him more starts at first base this season, but for now he's sharing the position with Rhys Hoskins. Manzardo is 2-for-13 with eight strikeouts through three contests.

Martinez started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Seattle.

Martinez parlayed a productive spring (1.196 OPS) into an Opening Day roster spot but not a role as a lineup regular. The Guardians have a few outfield prospects on the roster, including the red-hot Chase DeLauter (four HR), so Martinez may be limited to one or two starts per week. When George Valera (calf) is ready to rejoin the team, that could further cap opportunities for Martinez, or even lead to a demotion to the minors.

Fry started at catcher and went 2-for-5 with a double in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

Fry made his season debut and caught a game for the first time since July of 2024, as he was limited to DH and pinch hitting duties last season while completing his recovery from elbow surgery. Now fully healthy, Fry can get behind the dish again along with his other utility duties. He's the third-string catcher behind Bo Naylor and Austin Hedges, who is day-to-day with a hand injury.

Carroll went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Carroll, who was in right field for all three games in the series, was largely limited to DH duties in spring training after his return from February surgery to repair a broken hamate bone in his right hand. He had just 21 plate appearances (19 at-bats) during a shortened Cactus League, so there may be early struggles while Carroll gets his timing down. He's 2-for-11 with two singles and two strikeouts through three contests.

Sewald retired the lone batter he faced in the eighth inning of Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Arizona led 2-1 in the eighth inning with Sewald warming up in the bullpen, presumably to save the game in the ninth, but he never got the chance after Juan Morillo allowed a two-run home run, setting up Sewald to get the final out of the inning in a non-save situation. It was the veteran right-hander's first appearance of the season.

Morillo (0-1) was tagged with the loss Saturday, allowing two runs on one hit and one walk over two-thirds of an inning in a 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Morillo got the first two outs in the eighth inning before walking Mookie Betts, which set the stage for Will Smith's two-run home run. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo has tabbed Morillo as an option against lefty batters in Arizona's all-righty bullpen, and he successfully navigated Shohei Ohtani and Kyle Tucker before giving up the runs.

Raley went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run Saturday in the Mariners' 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Guardians.

Raley didn't start the contest, but he was summoned off the bench in the 10th inning. The veteran hitter came through with a two-run blast to center field to bring the Guardians within a run of tying the score. Raley has exactly one hit in each of his first three games this season, and each of his knocks has left the park. He already has three long balls and five RBI across nine plate appearances in 2026 after managing just four home runs and 19 runs batted over 219 regular-season plate appearances last season.

DeLauter went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 6-5 extra-inning win over the Mariners on Saturday.

DeLauter looked like he could be stymied for the first time this season when he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts over his first four plate appearances. However, the rookie saved his best for last, belting a two-run homer off All-Star reliever Andres Munoz in the 10th inning for what ended up being the decisive hit. DeLauter has now homered in the first three regular-season games of his career, and he's the early league leader with four home runs to go along with a gaudy .357/.357/1.214 slash line.

Woo allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out nine batters over six innings in a no-decision against Cleveland on Saturday.

Woo held the Guardians scoreless through five innings, but Cleveland got to him for a pair of runs in the sixth. That proved to be the right-hander's final frame, and while that sixth inning ended up costing him a chance for the win, he did notch a quality start. Woo tossed 59 of 83 pitches for strikes and racked up a robust 15 whiffs, buoying his case to be considered among fantasy's elite starting pitchers. He's lined up to make his next start against the Angels on the road.
