Guardians News and Notes: Movement in Guardians’ Land
News and Notes for Monday, May 4th, 2026
TEMPE, ARIZONA - MARCH 19, 2026: Angel Genao #16 of the Cleveland Guardians in the field during the second inning of a spring training Spring Breakout game against the Los Angeles Angels at Tempe Diablo Stadium on March 19, 2026 in Tempe, Arizona.

Deborah had the recap .
She has really drawn the short straw with Sunday recaps but she always does a good job, anyway. Chase DeLauter homered. The Guardians just couldn’t knock Aaron Civale out, which is annoying.
Parker Messick had a rough game, but that’ll happen. The Guardians promoted Angel Genao to Triple-A Columbus. Genao had a 125 wRC+ at Akron with a 17/21 K/BB%.
Making it to Triple-A as a 21 year-old is super impressive. I’d like to see if he can find a little more power (. 113 ISO so far) and reduce that 54% groundball rate.
