Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Slotted in Friday's lineup
Rotowire
DeLauter (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Friday's matchup with the Royals.
DeLauter, absent from the starting lineup for the previous three games, is seemingly past the worst of his hamstring issue.

DeLauter will act as the designated hitter and bat second for Cleveland's series opener against Kansas City.
DeLauter (hamstring) entered Wednesday's game as a pinch hitter and singled in a 4-3 come-from-behind victory over the Angels.

He was immediately replaced by a pinch runner, indicating the Guardians didn't want to push him on the basepaths. It's unclear if the pinch-hitting appearance means DeLauter will be ready to return to the starting lineup Friday after the team's off day Thursday.
