Emmanuel Clase News: Enters in non-save situation

Clase allowed two runs on three hits over one inning in Friday's 8-6 win over the Angels.

Clase entered in a non-save situation and was tagged for a pair of runs, including a solo home run. It's unclear why manager Stephen Vogt used his closer, other than the manager perhaps wanting to make sure the Guardians ended a three-game losing streak. Clase, who allowed just five runs over 74.1 regular-season innings in 2024, has already ceded three through four innings in 2025.
