Dollander was shut down in early September with a patellar tendon strain in his left knee. The 24-year-old former top prospect is expected to have a mostly normal offseason and be ready for the start of spring training after finishing his rookie campaign with a disappointing 6.52 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 82/49 K/BB ratio across 98 innings over 21 starts. The ninth overall pick from the 2023 MLB Draft has the high-octane arsenal required to overcome pitching in Coors Field, but it certainly amplifies the risk as he continues to acclimate to life in the big leagues.

This will be the top prospects, MLB debut, and it couldn’t come in a bigger spot with the Guardians facing elimination. The guardians have easily the lowest team batting average of any team in the postseason, so manager Stephen Vogt has been pretty clear that DeLauter is playing for his offensive upside: “He can hit -- everywhere he’s ever been, he’s hit. We’re looking for offense. We have been all year. And this gives us a really good opportunity to have an impact bat.”

We discussed this as a possibility yesterday, and now it’s official. The Guardians have the lowest team batting average for a postseason team in MLB history with a .226 mark, so it makes sense that they’re trying to bring some offensive upside onto the roster. If DeLauter gets into a game in the series, it will be his MLB debut, so this is certainly a unique move for Cleveland.

DeLauter underwent surgery to repair a right hamate fracture back on July 23rd, but he resumed baseball activities in August. The 23-year-old is in Cleveland as a member of the taxi squad and could be an option for this upcoming series against the Tigers. DeLauter hit .278/.383/.476 with five home runs and 21 RBI in 34 games at Triple-A before getting hurt this season. This would be a major jump for him, but he has the talent to be an impactful bat for the Guardians, like Evan Carter was for the Rangers a few years back.

As anticipated, the 23-year-old right-hander lands on the injured list with the knee injury that he suffered during Tuesday’s outing against the Dodgers. He’s expected to miss the remainder of the season. Bradley Blalock was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move on Saturday.

The 23-year-old hurler injured his left knee during Tuesday’s start against the Dodgers. He underwent an MRI exam earlier in the week, the results of which are not yet known. Regardless of the severity, it seems like this injury will end Dollander’s rookie season. He finishes the year with a 2-12 record, 6.52 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and an 82/49 K/BB ratio over 98 innings in his first 21 big league starts.

Dollander was solid for the second time in three outings, with a clunker against the Giants on Monday between these two outings. The 23-year-old rookie struck out five while allowing just one hit and two free passes. Dollander still is the owner of a 6.52 ERA, but there have been just enough outings like this to believe in him in the long-term. He’ll try and repeat this effort over the weekend when he faces the Padres in San Diego on Saturday.

Dollander took a loss despite pitching well against the Astros last time out. This was just a deserved loss. The 2023 first-rounder has not held his own for the most of 2025 and now has a record of 2-12 with an abhorrent 6.77 ERA over his 93 innings. It’s probably obvious to state that it’d be a mistake to start him against the Padres, but it’ll be stated anyway.

Dollander threw 61-of-98 pitches for strikes while walking four. The only run he allowed came on a run-scoring single from Jesus Sánchez in the first, and from that point on the 23-year-old pitched exceptionally. That’s now back-to-back strong outings for Dollander, but his ERA is still a less-than-desirable 6.55 with a ghastly 2-11 record. Dollander has significant upside even pitching in Coors Field, and but it’d still be hard to justify using him as a fantasy option against the Giants on Monday.

DeLauter is trending towards returning to action at Triple-A Columbus in late August or early September after undergoing surgery back in late July to repair a hamate fracture. The 23-year-old top prospect has the talent to make a serious impact in the big leagues, but injuries have prevented him from reaching Cleveland.

Dollander, who was recalled before the game, struck out five in one of his best starts to date as a major leaguer. He averaged 98.5 mph with his fastball, which is a little better than his 97.7-mph average for the season, and he allowed only four hard-hit balls. It’s nothing that should get him picked up in fantasy leagues, but it is encouraging. He’ll face Arizona at home this weekend.

Dollander gave up 11 earned runs and walked eight over 11 1/3 innings in his three starts for Albuquerque, but the Rockies must think they have no one else worth a look. And they’re probably right. Dollander will start against the Cardinals tonight.

The 23-year-old right-hander has gone just 2-9 with a 6.68 ERA over 15 starts for the Rockies this season, but they really don’t have any better alternatives to turn to right now. If you don’t care about your ratios, he could potentially be worth a look for fantasy purposes in deeper mixed leagues.

DeLauter has dealt with numerous injury setbacks since being selected 16th overall in the 2022 MLB Draft, with this latest procedure extinguishing any chance he’ll make it to Cleveland until next season. The 23-year-old top prospect’s offensive talent is undeniable, but he’s been snake-bitten by injuries, mostly foot issues, the last few years.

Not great. DeLauter was shut down last weekend with right wrist soreness just as he appeared to be on the verge of making it to Cleveland for their second-half playoff push. There should be a definitive update on the 23-year-old top prospect’s status this week, but typically a visit to a specialist involves determining whether a surgical procedure is required.

DeLauter can’t seem to catch a break. The 23-year-old top prospect, who has battled foot injuries the past few years, is set to undergo further evaluation after experiencing symptoms earlier this week while playing for Triple-A Columbus. He’s one of the most talented hitting prospects left in the minors and has a chance to make a serious impact for Cleveland, if he’s able to stay healthy enough to make it to the majors. There should be an update on his status at some point during next week’s All-Star break.

DeLauter’s home run was a 412-foot shot that left the bat at 109 mph. He’s slashing .279/.386/.475 with five home runs and 20 RBI in 33 games at Triple-A. The 23-year-old and fellow left-handed-hitter C.J. Kayfus both homered on Wednesday and are pushing for MLB at-bats in a season where it seems like the Guardians could trade away big league hitters like Carlos Santana and Lane Thomas at the trade deadline.

This comes one day after Dollander gave up three runs in 3 2/3 innings to the White Sox, and since the Rockies have Thursday off, they have some flexibility in how they work their rotation prior to the break. Now we’ll just have to wait and see if Dollander, who is 2-9 with a 6.68 ERA in 15 starts as a rookie, returns right afterwards; he was on track to secure a full year of service time this season, but that would change if he’s kept down for at least 20 days now.

Dollander gave up five hits, walked four and struck out two. The 23-year-old right-hander failed to complete at least four innings for the fourth time in his last seven starts. Dollander’s ERA is up to 6.68 on the season. Spending FAAB on a rookie Rockies pitcher, if you did it, was a mistake. The ninth pick in the 2023 MLB Draft is lined up to face the Reds on the road next weekend. You certainly don’t need to start him in fantasy formats.

Dollander tossed a clean first inning, then gave up a run on three hits in the second. He was roughed up in the third, giving up a run on a walk, hit, and groundout before loading the bases for Victor Caratini, who took him deep for a grand slam. Dollander allowed one more baserunner with one out in the third and was relieved at 69 pitches. The 23-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 6.65 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, and a 50/29 K/BB ratio across 65 innings. He’ll take on the White Sox in Colorado on Sunday.

This should have been six scoreless innings, but with two outs in the sixth, Michael Toglia and Thairo Estrada lost a popup in the rain, allowing two runs to score. The game was halted immediately afterwards, and though Dollander exited, he was charged with a third run after the delay. The loss leaves him 2-8 with a 6.06 ERA. He’s slated to face the Astros next week.

The oft-injured 23-year-old is now slashing .312/.438/.519 in 22 games at Triple-A with three home runs, 13 RBI, and an impressive 11/18 K/BB ratio. The biggest concern for DeLauter has always been staying on the field, but if he continues to perform like this, the Guardians will have to give him a shot at the big league level over the summer.

If only the Guardians could count on DeLauter staying healthy, maybe they’d get aggressive and cut Lane Thomas to make room for him. At .290//410/.493 in 19 games for Columbus, he might be ready for his first opportunity in spite of his lack of experience; because of injuries, he’s played in a total of 123 minor league games since being drafted in 2022.

Dollander managed only two strikeouts today. His 19% strikeout rate as a major leaguer is a little disappointing, though he figures to do better with more experience. He wasn’t involved in the decision today, so he’s still 2-7 with a 6.19 ERA. He’ll next pitch at home against the Dodgers.

Dollander pitched exactly three innings in each of his first two starts back from the IL, but he efficiently got through six in 97 pitches today. It’s his second quality start in 11 major league outings, though he did drop to 2-7 anyway. He’ll face the Nationals next.

DeLauter has hit .250/.362/.400 in 11 games at Triple-A with one home run, five RBI, and six runs scored. The oft-injured 23-year-old has plenty of talent but needs to prove that he can stay on the field. He has not played more than 57 games in any of his professional seasons. If he can stay healthy and put together some solid production, there’s a good chance that he could get at-bats for the Guardians by the end of the summer. He would be a must-add prospect if he does get the call.

Only six of the 15 balls in play against Dollander were hard hit, but those six produced two homers, a double and three singles, and the rookie also gave up two soft hits. Dollander, who was moved up in the rotation to make this start instead of facing the Giants on Tuesday, is now 2-6 with a 6.85 ERA. He’ll pitch in Atlanta next weekend.

Dollander was limited to 59 pitches tonight after returning from the IL without making a rehab start. He walked three, and just 28 of the 59 pitches went for strikes. Dollander will face the Giants next time out.
