Cleveland

Cleveland outfielder Amed Rosario went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in a 4-2 win over the White Sox on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Rosario hit leadoff for the Tribe in the win. It has been slow going for Rosario thus far, as he's hitting just .179 with three runs and one RBI in 28 at-bats.

Cleveland shortstop Andres Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a double, a run, and an RBI in a 4-2 win over the White Sox on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Gimenez also committed an error, his second of the season. Overall, the young infielder is hitting .185 with one homer, four runs, and three RBI in 27 at-bats.

Cleveland outfielder Eddie Rosario went 1-for-3 with two steals and a walk in a 4-2 win over the White Sox on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Rosario stole just six total bases over the past two seasons, while he was a member of the Twins. He already has three steals through 12 games with Cleveland this season. Overall, Rosario is hitting .250 with two homers, six runs, and seven RBI.

Cleveland third baseman Jose Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in a 4-2 win over the White Sox on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact: Ramirez took Chicago starter Lance Lynn deep in the sixth inning. The veteran infielder is hitting .222 with three homers, five runs, six RBI, and two steals.

Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase slammed the door on the White Sox, preserving a 4-2 win on Thursday. Clase allowed one unearned run in his lone inning of work while striking out one.

Fantasy Impact: Clase is settling in nicely as the team's primary closer, going 3-for-3 in save chances with seven strikeouts across 5 1/3 innings of work. He has yet to allow an earned run this year.

Cleveland right-hander Aaron Civale pitched well in a 4-2 win over the White Sox on Thursday. Civale allowed just one run over six innings of work while striking out four.

Fantasy Impact: Civale improved his record to 3-0 on the season while dropping his ERA to 2.18. The young right-hander has been impressive in the early going, settling in as a rock-solid fantasy starting pitcher. He will face the White Sox again next time out.

Cleveland right-hander Zach Plesac struggled in an 8-0 loss to the White Sox on Wednesday. Plesac was charged with six runs and lasted just 2/3 of an inning.

Fantasy Impact: Plesac didn't have it on Wednesday, coughing up seven hits in the first inning, including a three-run homer to Yermin Mercedes. The poor outing drops Plesac's record to 1-2 with a 5.27 ERA. He will look for revenge next time out when he faces these same White Sox.

Cleveland DH Franmil Reyes went 0-for-3 in an 8-0 loss to the White Sox on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: No one in the lineup fared well as Cleveland was no-hit by Chicago starter Carlos Rodon. Reyes is now hitting .256 with four homers, seven runs, and eight RBI in 39 at-bats.

Cleveland outfielder Josh Naylor went 1-for-4 with a run in a 2-0 win over the White Sox on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact: Naylor is hitting .242 with three doubles and two runs in 33 at-bats. He's still looking for his first homer of the season.

Cleveland reliever James Karinchak threw a scoreless 10th inning to nail down his first save of the season. Karinchak struck out one in the outing.

Fantasy Impact: Normal closer Emmanuel Clase had pitched on three of the previous four days, so he was given the day off. Karinchak now has thrown four scoreless innings with six strikeouts on the year.

Cleveland right-hander Shane Bieber threw nine scoreless innings in a 2-0 win over the White Sox on Tuesday. He struck out 11 and walked one in the outing.

Fantasy Impact: Cleveland was able to push two runs across in the top of the 10th, giving Bieber the win. The ace now has a 1-0 record, 2.11 ERA, and 35 strikeouts in 21 1/3 innings of work. He will face the Reds next time out.

Cleveland right-hander Triston McKenzie allowed three runs over four innings of work in a 4-3 loss to the White Sox on Monday. McKenzie struck out six and walked two in the no-decision.

Fantasy Impact: McKenzie was making his first start of the season. His only big mistake was a three-run homer to Adam Eaton in the third inning. Cleveland didn't need a fifth starter over the first couple weeks of the season but McKenzie should be on a regular starting schedule going forward. He will face the Reds next.

Cleveland left-hander Logan Allen tossed five innings of one-run ball in a 5-2 win over the Tigers on Sunday. Allen struck out five and walked three in the outing.

Fantasy Impact: Allen picked up the win, his first of the season. He now has a 1-1 record, 2.70 ERA, and eight strikeouts in 10 innings of work. Allen has worked his way into the streamer conversation, although he will face an explosive Reds offense next time he takes the mound.

Cleveland outfielder Jordan Luplow went 2-for-5 with a double, a homer, and five RBI in an 11-3 win over the Tigers on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact: Luplow took Tarik Skubal deep for a three-run shot. Overall, he's hitting .231 with two homers and seven RBI on the year.

Cleveland catcher Roberto Perez went 1-for-1 with a homer, four runs, three walks, and two RBI in an 11-3 win over the Tigers.

Fantasy Impact: The veteran catcher put together an interesting stat line in the lopsided win. Overall, Perez is hitting .267 with two homers and four RBI on the year.

Cleveland second baseman Cesar Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a double and a solo homer in an 11-3 win over the Tigers on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact: Hernandez took Tarik Skubal deep in the third inning for his first homer of the season. Overall, Hernandez is hitting .185 with two doubles and one RBI.

Cleveland reliever Nick Wittgren threw a scoreless ninth inning to save a 4-2 win over the Royals on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Wittgren got the save chance with Cleveland using James Karinchak in the seventh and Emmanuel Clase in the eighth inning. Cleveland seems willing to use all three arms interchangeably when protecting leads this season.

Cleveland catcher Austin Hedges went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in a 9-3 win over the Tigers on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Hedges was making his first start of the season after Roberto Perez played in the first two games. Hedges isn't usually known for his bat and doesn't need to be considered for fantasy rosters.

Ben Gamel is slated to bat leadoff for Cleveland in their Saturday bout with the Tigers.

Fantasy Impact: The Indians went with Jordan Luplow as their leadoff man on Opening Day, who drew the leadoff duties against a lefty, Matthew Boyd. While Gamel seems to be taking the role against a righty, Julio Tehran. This could very well be a trend for the season.

Fantasy Impact: The veteran reliever has made the Indians Opening Day roster with Cleveland moving RHP Cam Hill to the 60-game IL in order to make room. Perez registered a 2.00 ERA over 18 innings for Cleveland in 2020's shortened season.
