On bench against LHP
Bazzana is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.
Analysis
The lefty-hitting Bazzana has slashed .188/.295/.232 in 129 plate appearances against same-side pitching this season and has fallen into a platoon role lately as a result. That trend will continue Saturday with the No. 1 overall pick in 2024 sitting against southpaw Daniel Lynch as Angel Genao starts at the keystone for Cleveland.

Knocks in winning run
Bazzana went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Angels.
Analysis
Bazzana was instrumental in a late-game rally that saw the Guardians score three runs in the final two innings. He singled and scored in the eighth inning and then drove in the go-ahead run in the ninth with a sacrifice fly. The rookie's been on a roll of late, going 10-for-27 (.370) with two doubles, one steal, six RBI and five runs scored over the last seven games.
