Kyle Manzardo News: Makes first start in field

Manzardo started at first base and went 0-for-3 with an RBI in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Padres.

Like most Cleveland hitters, Manzardo had a quiet series (0-for-9) against the Padres, who swept the Guardians. Manzardo, who was the DH in his first five starts, made his debut in the field Wednesday, with the 38-year-old Carlos Santana moving from first base to DH. Manzardo, whose primary position in the minors was first base, has served mostly in the DH role since coming up to the majors in 2024.
