Idle Friday
Manzardo is out of the lineup for Friday's matchup against Arizona.
Analisi
Despite smacking a two-run homer and drawing two walks in the series finale against Cincinnati on Thursday, Manzardo will ride the bench for Friday's series opener against the Diamondbacks. Rhys Hoskins will take over at first base and bat cleanup for Cleveland.

Insurance homer in win
Manzardo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a 6-1 win over the Reds on Wednesday.
Analisi
Manzardo reached base safely three times in Wednesday's game as he continues his mini power surge over his last seven games. In those games, Manzardo has three homers and eight RBI to go along with a .714 slugging percentage, but he is struggling overall on the season with a .154 average (4-for-26) and 12 strikeouts since the break and is batting just .210 for the season.

Belts first career grand slam
Manzardo started at first base and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a grand slam in a 6-5 win in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Reds. He went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter in the nightcap.
Analisi
Manzardo belted his 12th homer of the season and first career grand slam in the first inning, and it nearly didn't happen. A call that he'd been hit by a pitch was overturned on review prior to Manzardo going deep. It turned out to be the key contribution in Cleveland snapping a five-game losing streak. The slumping first baseman entered the day with a .154 average (4-for-26) and 12 strikeouts since the break and is batting just .210 for the season. With the team in the hunt for a division title or wild-card playoff spot, it may scour the market for a first baseman; Guardians first basemen are hitting a league-low .194 with 13 homers (t-23rd) and 45 RBI (27th).
