Cleveland Guardians vs Atlanta Braves team news

Cleveland Guardians team news

Cleveland’s lineup revolves around Ramirez, who has been a steady force all season. He leads the club in batting average (.298), home runs (25), and RBIs (64), ranking 15th in MLB in homers and 49th in RBIs. Ramirez comes in riding a three-game hit streak, batting .350 over his last five contests with a double, two long balls, and three runs driven in. Steven Kwan, batting .275 with 21 doubles and 42 walks, is aiming for his third straight game with a hit, though he’s cooled slightly at .143 over his last five. Veterans Carlos Santana (.227, 11 homers) and Kyle Manzardo (.242, 21 homers) round out a dangerous middle order.

On the hill, left-hander Joey Cantillo continues his transition from the bullpen to a starting role. He’s 3-2 with a 4.11 ERA across 28 outings, seven of them starts, and will look to build on his recent consistency.

Atlanta Braves team news

For Atlanta, Matt Olson leads the way with a .262 average and a team-best 71 RBIs, placing him 23rd in MLB in that category. Marcell Ozuna, the Braves’ top home run hitter with 20, sits 41st in the league in long balls. Ozzie Albies (.227, 10 homers) and Michael Harris II (.250, 13 homers) provide additional pop, while Profar continues to be a steady presence.

Right-hander Erick Fedde gets the start for Atlanta, searching for a way to stop the bleeding. He’s 4-12 with a 5.40 ERA and has been hit even harder on the road (1-8, 5.12 ERA). Over his last five outings, he’s averaged just 3.2 innings while giving up nearly four runs per start, a trend the Braves hope he can reverse.
