Losing out on playing time
Halpin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
Analyse
The Guardians will leave the Halpin on the bench for the fifth game in a row, with the left-handed-hitting outfielder sitting twice against right-handed starters during that stretch. Halpin looks like he'll have to settle for a part-time role versus righties after the Guardians added Jo Adell and Nathaniel Lowe at the trade deadline and called up one of their top position prospects in Angel Genao from Triple-A Columbus last week.

Sitting in series finale
Halpin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Analyse
Halpin is on the bench for a third straight game, but Sunday will mark the first time that the left-handed hitter has sat against a righty starter (Davis Martin) during that stretch. Though he's produced a serviceable .264/.298/.415 slash line since the All-Star break, Halpin could see his workload decline while the Guardians clear room in the lineup for rookie Angel Genao and the hot-hitting Angel Martinez.
