Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Back from IL on Sunday
Rotowire
The Guardians reinstated DeLauter (rib) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.
Cleveland optioned outfielder Petey Halpin to Triple-A Columbus to open up a spot on the active roster for DeLauter, who experiencing no setbacks in his recovery from a right rib cage fracture while taking on-field batting practice Saturday. Since he missed only two weeks with the injury, DeLauter should be ready to handle an everyday role right away while bouncing between right field and designated hitter.

Rotowire
Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Monday that the team hopes DeLauter (rib) will be ready to return during its June 26-July 5 homestand, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Working his way back from a small fracture in his right rib cage, DeLauter has resumed hitting, running and throwing. Vogt does not have a specific target date for DeLauter's activation from the 10-day injured list, but it seems it could happen as soon as this weekend.
Guardians' Chase DeLauter: Shelved with rib fracture
Rotowire
The Guardians placed DeLauter (rib) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Since his IL stint is retroactive to Sunday, DeLauter will be eligible for activation June 24, but a return in the minimum amount of time could prove to be ambitious for the outfielder after an MRI on Tuesday revealed a small right side rib fracture in addition to bone bruising. Cleveland recalled Kahlil Watson from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move, but he'll be on the bench Wednesday against the Brewers while the Guardians go with Steven Kwan, Petey Halpin and David Fry as their starting outfielders. A clearer target date for DeLauter's return should emerge once he's able to resume full baseball activities.
