The Guardians played three games in Atlanta over the weekend and open a three-game set in St. Louis on Monday, so it appears Gaddis could be activated within the next three days. The right-hander allowed five earned runs in four rehab outings, but four of those came in a single outing. He has combined for 68 holds and three saves over the last two seasons in 151 appearances and should slide into a main setup role behind closer Cade Smith upon his return.

Gaddis' forearm issue has kept him out of spring action, but he pitched in his second minor league game of the spring on Tuesday. The right-hander regressed from a dominant 2024 in 2025, but still posted a quality 3.11 ERA across 73 appearances, locking down three saves to go along with 35 holds.

Gaddis will make his second minor-league spring training appearance Tuesday as he works back from right forearm tightness. He will open the 2026 season on the injured list.

If his recovery continues on its current path, Gaddis could be looking at a minimum IL stay before rejoining Cleveland's bullpen.
