Cleveland Guardians might pivot from offense to bullpen upgrades after Shawn Armstrong’s calf injury, bringing up Will Dion as a stopgap while president Chris Antonetti eyes a trade deadline move for another reliever. With Jose Ramirez returning, the bats could finally spark, but if not, the bullpen will bear the load — and the team’s strategy could shift dramatically before August 3rd.

The Guardians’ offense went silent again, tallying just five hits and eight strikeouts in a tough loss, forcing Kwan, Ramirez, and Bazzana to carry the load. Tanner Bibee held things together with three runs over six innings, while rookie Will Dion delivered a dominant two-inning bullpen performance, striking out four and shutting down the opposition. With the lineup struggling, consistent production is desperately needed — but Dion’s arm offers a glimmer of hope.

The Guardians took another crushing 3-0 loss to the Rays, their fourth straight defeat, as their offense went silent with just five hits and one runner past second base. Despite the struggles, pitcher Tanner Bibee kept them in it with six innings, though he admitted he could’ve pitched better. Rays starter Nick Martinez dominated, shutting down the Guardians for six innings with four hits allowed. The Guardians’ offense finally broke down in the fifth, when the Rays scored two runs on key hits and added another in the sixth via a well-placed bunt. With their slump deepening and facing tough pitching, the Guardians look to snap their offensive drought in Sunday’s series finale.
