#GuardsBall ā Guardians Prospective (@CleGuardPro) April 7, 2026 MORE: Yankees outfielder once battled ostrich in 11-plate spaghetti-eating contest The point of concern is likely Gabriel Arias, who was pinch-run for partway through Monday's game against the Royals. During the game, Daniel Schneeman pinch-ran and took over at second base, while Brayan Rocchio moved over to shortstop. Brito can play both those spots.
The 24-year old Brito, from the Dominican Republic, will make his MLB debut when he gets into a game. He's been a really good minor league ballplayer and at times a well-regarded prospect. Soon enough, he'll get a chance to finally play for the Guardians.
