Sitting against lefty again
Bazzana is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
Análisis
The left-handed-hitting Bazzana will be left out of the lineup for the second time in the Guardians' last three matchups versus a left-handed starting pitcher. Angel Genao will fill in at second base for Bazzana, who is slashing just .192/.306/.240 (65 wRC+) over 121 plate appearances versus same-handed pitching this season.

Sitting against lefty Friday
Bazzana is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.
Análisis
With left-hander Noah Schultz on the mound for Chicago, Bazzana will get the night off. Angel Genao is making the start at second base and batting ninth for Cleveland. Bazzana is batting .188 with a .537 OPS against left-handed pitching as a rookie, and with the Guardians' additions in the past week, it appears he could be getting fewer at-bats against southpaws down the stretch.

Yanked for PH in sixth inning
Bazzana went 0-for-2 with a walk before being replaced by a pinch hitter during the sixth inning of Thursday's 13-6 loss to the Mets.
Análisis
Bazzana, who returned to the leadoff spot Thursday with Steven Kwan getting a day off, was removed for pinch hitter Jo Adell in the sixth inning. The game was still in doubt -- New York held a 6-5 lead at the time -- so it wasn't case of emptying the bench in a blowout. Guardians manager Stephen Vogt may have made the move because a lefty reliever entered the game, but the manager hasn't made a habit of pinch hitting for Bazzana against lefties. The rookie has a .188/.299/.238 slash line over 117 plate appearances against southpaws.
