Heyman adds that Hedges will receive $500,000 in performance-based incentives. The 33-year-old backstop will return for his sixth season in Cleveland. He’s been a complete non-factor at the plate, but he’s remains a sublime defender from a pitch-framing perspective. He’ll serve as Bo Naylor’s primary caddy next season.

In his 39th start of the season, Hedges finally got himself a multihit game. His last came nearly a year ago on Aug. 26, 2024 against the Royals. He deserved it, too, hitting balls 100.6, 106.3 and 108.6 mph tonight. He actually nearly had a third hit on the sac fly, though only because the center field tripped going after it before recovering. Hedges, hitting .143 this season, hasn’t had a three-game since he miraculously collected four hits on Aug. 18, 2019, his 27th birthday.

Hedges will be shelved for at least a couple of days as he works his way through the concussion protocol. Dom Nuñez was promoted from Triple-A Columbus on Friday to add depth behind the plate while Hedges is shelved.
