Andres Gimenez looking dangerous at the plate: Guardians takeaways

Andres Gimenez is hitting well at the plate. Terry Francona called him dangerous. Tuesday's game against San Diego was postponed and rescheduled as a traditional doubleheader Wednesday at 1:10 p.m. at Progressive Field.

The Guardians won three of the four games against the A's during their 10-game trip. Gimenez started all three games at shortstop as Amed Rosario was rested. He hit .429 (6-for-14) with one homer and six RBI in those three.

Bobby Bradley and Logan Allen are being designated for assignment. Francona wants to get the roster to 26 players. Bradley has been with the organization since 2014 and Allen since being acquired in a trade with San Diego in 2019.

The Guardians are operating with 13 pitchers. MLB gave teams until May 29 to carry 14 pitchers before they had to return to 13.

The Guardians will need a starter on Sunday.
