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: Idle in series opener
Manzardo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against 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.

Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: Heading to bench Monday

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.
