Franco Aleman being evaluated for possible inguinal hernia

Franco Aleman had an appointment Tuesday to determine if he has an inguinal hernia.

Fantasy Impact:

An official diagnosis hasn't been made, but if Aleman requires surgery, it would likely sideline him for an extended period and take him out of the Guardians' Opening Day roster mix. The right-hander showed promise in limited action last season, posting a 1.99 ERA and 1.08 WHIP at Triple-A Columbus, though a lat injury kept him out for three months. If healthy, he could be a bullpen option later in the season, but for now, his status remains uncertain.
