Manzardo’s left shoulder inflammation sidelines him Friday, but the 24-year-old has a few exhibition games left before the Guardians’ Opening Day in Kansas City on Thursday to prove readiness. Severity pends. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, banking on his bat for early value in Cleveland’s 2025 lineup if this proves minor and he’s cleared by next week.

Kyle Manzardo went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Guardians' 6-1 victory over the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included a walk and he scored twice, contributing significantly to the team's win. This season, Manzardo has been somewhat inconsistent with a .248 batting average over 50 games, but his power numbers are showing promise, especially with his fifth homer of the season. His .320 wOBA indicates potential for productive outings, though his high strikeout rate remains a concern for fantasy managers. Moving forward, Manzardo's ability to tap into his power while reducing strikeouts could make him a more reliable fantasy option, especially in deeper leagues or as a streaming choice against favorable pitching matchups.
