Making third straight start
Brito will start at second base and bat sixth in Friday's game versus Atlanta.
Analyse
The switch-hitting Brito started each of the first two games against lefties upon his promotion, and he will remain in the lineup as Atlanta sends righty Bryce Elder to the bump. Brito is 4-for-8 with a pair of doubles in the early going and could continue to see regular playing time at second base while Brayan Rocchio shifts over to shortstop to cover for the injured Gabriel Arias (hamstring).

Two more hits
Brito started at second base and went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Royals.
Analyse
Brito made a second straight start at second base and logged two hits in each contest. He's getting a chance with Gabriel Arias (hamstring) sidelined for 4-to-8 weeks. Brayan Rocchio, who moved from second to cover shortstop for Arias, is hitting just .216 over 13 games. If Brito maintains the hot bat, he could replace Rocchio as starter when Arias returns.

Logs two hits in MLB debut
Brito started at second base and went 2-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Royals.
Analyse
The 24-year-old infield prospect had a whirlwind 24 hours. He was in Worcester (Mass.) with Triple-A Columbus on Monday when the Guardians called him up to replace shortstop Gabriel Arias (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Brito hopped an early flight Tuesday morning to Cleveland and made his MLB debut in the afternoon. With Arias out of action, Brayan Rocchio moved from second base to short, which opened a position for the switch-hitting Brito, who could step into a platoon at the keystone.

Recalled from Triple-A
The Guardians recalled Brito from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Analyse
Brito is starting at second base and batting sixth in Tuesday's game against the Royals in what will be his major-league debut. The 24-year-old missed much of the 2025 season due to thumb and hamstring surgeries, but he was off to a hot start at Columbus, slashing .314/.405/.457 with a 6:3 BB:K. Brito should get a good number of reps at second base while Brayan Rocchio shifts over to shortstop to cover for the injured Gabriel Arias (hamstring).
