Jun 27 2025 | The Guardians transferred Brennan (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The outfielder has already been ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to repair the UCL in his left elbow, so the move to the 60-day IL was an inevitability. The recovery period from Tommy John surgery is shorter for position players, so Brennan won't necessarily be sidelined for the start of 2026. |
|
Jun 9 2025 | Brennan underwent a full repair of the UCL in his left elbow Monday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan had sought multiple opinion on the injury and in the end was unable to avoid surgery. The recovery from a UCL is much shorter for position players, but the operation still figures to knock Brennan out for the remainder of the 2025 season. |
|
May 31 2025 | Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Saturday that Brennan will get a second opinion on his left forearm next week, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan landed on the 10-day injured list May 22 due to left forearm inflammation. He'll visit Dr. Keith Meister next week, which indicates that Brennan's injury is more severe than initially thought. Brennan was recalled by the Guardians from Triple-A Columbus on May 12 and went 1-for-11 in six major-league outings prior to his injury. |
|
May 22 2025 | The Guardians placed Brennan on the 10-day injured list Thursday with left forearm inflammation. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan will be eligible to return from the IL on May 30, although it's not clear whether he has a chance for activation on that date. He's picked up just on hit in 11 at-bats since being recalled from Triple-A Columbus in mid-May. |
|
May 17 2025 | Brennan started in right field and went 0-for-3 in Friday's 5-4 loss to Cincinnati. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan was called up earlier in the week and has started three of four games. Unfortunately for the lefty-hitting outfielder, he's gone hitless in nine plate appearances. Brennan's playing time has come at the expense of Angel Martinez. |
|
May 13 2025 | Brennan is starting in right field and batting eighth in Tuesday's game versus the Brewers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan has now started two straight contests in right field after being recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Monday. Angel Martinez sat at Brennan's expense Monday, and on Tuesday it will be Nolan Jones on the bench. |
|
May 12 2025 | The Guardians recalled Brennan from Triple-A Columbus on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan spent nearly all of the previous two seasons in the majors, but this is his first promotion in 2025 from Columbus, where he's slashed .304/.340/.419 with three homers in 35 games this season. Cleveland has received very little production from Nolan Jones and Jhonkensy Noel in right field, so it's possible Brennan will get some run at that position. Brennan is starting in right field and batting ninth Monday versus the Brewers. However, with a career .270/.308/.377 batting line at the big-league level, Brennan is hardly a good bet to produce if he does get an opportunity. |
|
Mar 24 2025 | The Guardians optioned Brennan to Triple-A Columbus on Monday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan seemed to be in good position to open the season in the strong side of a platoon in right field, but the Guardians' acquisition of Nolan Jones over the weekend ended Brennan's hopes of breaking camp with the big club. The 27-year-old should be in line for steady at-bats with Columbus while he awaits another opportunity with the big club. |
|
Mar 15 2025 | Brennan went 2-for-4 with two two-run home runs in Friday's spring game against the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan logged his first two homers of the Cactus League during the latter innings of the game. He's ostensibly battling with Jhonkensy Noel for the starting job in right field, but the position may become a platoon between the two. Brennan is batting .286 (8-for-28) with three extra-base hits and five RBI, while Noel is 10-for-35 (.286) with one homer, three RBI and 15 strikeouts. |
|
Mar 13 2025 | Brennan is still in line to make the Guardians' Opening Day roster despite a slow spring training, Mandy Bell and Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan has struggled each of the last two seasons with OPS marks of .655 and .697, respectively. Even after logging only six hits across 24 at-bats in the spring this season -- only one of which has gone for extra bases -- he is still projected to make the roster and split reps with Jhonkensy Noel in right field. Brennan would provide a contact-heavy profile at the plate from the left side, while Noel should provide more pop with more strikeouts. |
|
Feb 1 2025 | Brennan and Jhonkensy Noel enter spring training in a competition for the starting job in right field, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan made the most starts in right field in 2024, but the left-handed hitter platooned the position in the second half after the righty-swinging Noel was called up late June. Brennan burst onto the scene in 2022 but failed to replicate on that promise the last two seasons, hitting just 13 home runs with a .673 OPS over 252 games. The Guardians would like to get more power out of the corner outfield position, particularly after the team traded Josh Naylor during the offseason. Enter Noel, who went deep 13 times in 67 games after his callup. He presents issues, too, so the eventual starter may emerge from outside this duo. |
|
Oct 19 2024 | Brennan isn't in the Guardians' lineup Saturday for Game 5 of the ALCS versus the Yankees, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Brennan will take a seat Saturday as the Yankees prepare to send the lefty-throwing Carlos Rodon to the mound to start Game 5. Jhonkensy Noel will start in right field while batting sixth. |
|
Oct 18 2024 | Brennan is not in the lineup Friday for Game 4 of the ALCS against the Yankees, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Guardians will give a second straight start to Daniel Schneemann in right field while Brennan begins the contest on the bench. Brennan is 2-for-11 with one RBI so far this postseason. |
|
Oct 17 2024 | Brennan isn't in the Guardians' lineup Thursday for Game 3 of the ALCS against the Yankees, Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan will get a chance to regroup Thursday after starting the postseason just 1-for-10 at the plate. While he sits, Daniel Schneemann will take over in right field and bat sixth versus New York righty Clarke Schmidt. |
|
Oct 12 2024 | Brennan isn't in the Guardians' starting lineup Saturday for Game 5 of the ALDS against the Tigers, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Brennan will begin Saturday's contest on the bench while southpaw Tarik Skubal starts on the mound for Detroit. Jhonkensy Noel will get the starting nod in right field instead and bat sixth. |
|
Oct 7 2024 | Brennan is not in the lineup Monday for Game 2 of the ALDS against the Tigers, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With southpaw Tarik Skubal on the bump for the Tigers, the left-handed hitting Brennan will begin the contest on the bench. He didn't start against lefty opener Tyler Holton in Game 1, either, nor did he enter versus any of the three righties the Tigers used after Holton. Jhonkensy Noel is getting the call again in right field for the Guardians. |
|
Oct 5 2024 | Brennan is not in Cleveland's lineup for Game 1 of the American League Division Series versus Detroit. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan started all three games during the Guardians' final series of the regular season against Houston, playing twice in right field and once in left field. However, Jhonkensy Noel will start in right field in the first game of the ALDS while Steven Kwan gets the start in left. Brennan plays mostly against right-handed pitchers, and Detroit is opening Game 1 with southpaw Tyler Holton, which likely explains Brennan's exclusion from the lineup. However, Brennan could enter the game at some point, as righty Reese Olson is expected to work in bulk relief Saturday. |
|
Sep 28 2024 | Brennan went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan has gone 12-for-26 (.462) over his last 10 games, filling a part-time role in the outfield for the Guardians. He got a leadoff look Saturday with Steven Kwan resting now that Cleveland has clinched a spot in the ALDS. Brennan is at a .264/.309/.388 slash line, eight home runs, 30 RBI, 37 runs scored, 13 doubles and four stolen bases over 114 contests. He is likely to be a strong-side platoon option heading in right field for the postseason. |
|
Sep 25 2024 | Brennan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll give way in right field to Jhonkensy Noel in the series finale after going 2-for-5 at the dish while picking up starts in both of the past two contests. With Steven Kwan returning from the injured list Wednesday and settling back in as the Guardians' everyday left fielder, Brennan could face a threat for playing time not only from Noel, but also Angel Martinez. Martinez had been serving as the primary replacement in left for the duration of Kwan's absence. |
|
Sep 21 2024 | Brennan isn't in the Guardians' lineup for Saturday's game versus the Cardinals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan will get a day off Saturday after going 0-for-4 during a win in Friday's series opener. He'll be replaced in right field by Jhonkensy Noel, who will bat seventh. |
|
Sep 19 2024 | Brennan is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Twins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For the second straight day, the Guardians have gone with Jhonkensy Noel in right field over Brennan against a right-handed pitcher. Brennan came off the bench to deliver a game-tying RBI single in the 10th inning of Wednesday's win over the Twins, so it's possible he'll make another mid-game appearance Thursday. |
|
Sep 18 2024 | Brennan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Jhonkensy Noel will step in as the Guardians' starting right fielder Wednesday, but Brennan appears to be the favored option at the moment. Brennan started in each of the Guardians' last three matchups with right-handers and produced four hits in 11 at-bats during that stretch. |
|
Sep 16 2024 | Brennan will start in right field and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Twins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan will make a second straight start in right field against a right-handed pitcher (Pablo Lopez) and might have re-emerged as the Guardians' preferred option at the position over Jhonkensy Noel, who has produced a .426 OPS with a 32.4 percent strikeout rate since the start of September. Noel should still be a priority over Brennan when the Guardians face left-handed pitching. |
|
Sep 8 2024 | Brennan will start in left field and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he'll fill in atop the batting order for a resting Steven Kwan on Sunday, Brennan's time as a strong-side platoon player for the Guardians could be over. He had been on the bench for four of the Guardians' previous six matchups with right-handed pitching, with rookie Kyle Manzardo and Lane Thomas seemingly have overtaken Brennan as the team's preferred options at designated hitter and in right field, respectively. |
|
Sep 2 2024 | Brennan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Kyle Manzardo will replace Brennan in the lineup for a second straight game, with manager Stephen Vogt opting to reward the rookie with another start after he slugged two solo home runs and drew a walk in his return from Triple-A Columbus in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates. Though Brennan has a longer track record at the big-league level, Manzardo is regarded as one of the organization's top prospects and unquestionably brings more upside to the table. If Manzardo can turn in another productive day at the plate Monday, he would build a stronger case for supplanting Brennan as the Guardians' primary designated hitter versus right-handed pitching. |
|
Sep 1 2024 | Brennan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Brennan typically sits against left-handed pitching, but he'll head to the bench Sunday against righty Mitch Keller. He'll cede his spot in the lineup to September call-up Kyle Manzardo from Triple-A Columbus, who will serve as the Guardians' designated hitter. |
|
Aug 30 2024 | Brennan is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan has a .567 OPS over his past 10 games and will sit Friday as lefty Bailey Falter takes the mound for Pittsburgh. David Fry will bat cleanup as the designated hitter in the series opener. |
|
Aug 26 2024 | Brennan is not in the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader versus the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Royals are starting lefty Cole Ragans in the afternoon contest, so the left-handed-hitting Brennan will begin the game on the bench. He is a good bet to be in the lineup for the nightcap against right-hander Alec Marsh. |
|
Aug 25 2024 | Brennan is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan started the previous three games and went 3-for-11 with a walk, two doubles, an RBI and two runs. He'll sit Sunday against Texas lefty Cody Bradford, which opens up the DH spot for David Fry. |
|
Aug 16 2024 | Brennan went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Brewers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan remains hot at the plate, going 11-for-25 (.440) over seven games since he was recalled from Triple-A Columbus. The outfielder has just two extra-base hits in that span, but that plays just fine for slap-happy Cleveland. The outfielder is up to a .254/.305/.397 slash line with eight home runs, 26 RBI, 31 runs scored and three stolen bases over 272 plate appearances this season. |
|
Aug 12 2024 | Brennan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Since returning from Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Brennan seems to have taken back a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching, but the Guardians will continue to shield the lefty-hitting outfielder from southpaws. Jhonkensy Noel will get the nod in right field in place of Brennan on Monday while the Cubs send lefty Shota Imanaga to the bump. |
|
Aug 10 2024 | Brennan isn't in the Guardians' lineup for Saturday's game against the Twins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan went 4-for-7 and scored a run over the course of Friday's doubleheader. He'll get a breather Saturday, opening up right field for Jhonkensy Noel to start while batting seventh. |
|
Aug 9 2024 | Brennan went 4-for-7 with one run scored over both games of Friday's doubleheader versus the Twins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan's last stint in the majors saw him go 0-for-20 over nine contests from July 11-27. This time around has already gone better. Brennan was called up to replace Angel Martinez on the Guardians' roster, and there's a path to at least a strong-side platoon role for Brennan in right field, a position he'll likely share with Jhonkensy Noel while Lane Thomas moves over to center. Brennan is slashing .244/.299/.385 with eight home runs, three stolen bases, 24 RBI and 29 runs scored over 79 big-league games this year. |
|
Jul 30 2024 | The Guardians optioned Brennan to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan was sent to the minors as the corresponding transaction for the addition of trade-deadline pickup Lane Thomas to the roster. He easily leads the Guardians with 50 starts in right field this season, but Brennan's playing time is now slated to go to Thomas. The 26-year-old Brennan is slashing just .233/.291/.379 over 247 plate appearances this season. |
|
Jul 29 2024 | Brennan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With lefty Bryan Sammons projected to work in bulk relief behind the Tigers' opening pitcher, Beau Brieske, the lefty-hitting Brennan will hit the bench in the series opener. Jhonkensy Noel will draw a start in right field at Brennan's expense. |
|
Jul 28 2024 | Brennan is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan will retreat to the bench Sunday with the Phillies sending left-hander Kolby Allard to the mound. Jhonkensy Noel will start in right field and bat fifth. |
|
Jul 26 2024 | Brennan is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan will dodge a matchup with southpaw Cristopher Sanchez on Friday. Steven Kwan, Tyler Freeman and Angel Martinez will fill the outfield from left to right. |
|
Jul 25 2024 | Brennan is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Tigers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan will be a candidate to come into the game once Tigers opening pitcher Tyler Holton exits the contest. Jhonkensy Noel will start in right field for the Guardians. |
|
Jul 23 2024 | Brennan is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan will take a seat for Tuesday's series opener, giving way to Jhonkensy Noel in right field. Brennan is hitless in his last 13 at-bats with three strikeouts and no walks during that stretch. |
|
Jul 22 2024 | Brennan is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Tigers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-handed Brennan rarely starts against southpaws, so it comes as little surprise that he'll take a seat against All-Star Tarik Skubal. Jhonkensy Noel is handling right field for Cleveland. |
|
Jul 20 2024 | Brennan is not in the starting lineup Saturday against San Diego. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan will take a seat after he went 0-for-2 in Friday's 7-0 victory. Angel Martinez will slide over to right field while Tyler Freeman enters the lineup in center and bats eighth versus the Padres. |
|
Jul 12 2024 | Brennan is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan made his return from the injured list Thursday but went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in the Guardians' series finale against Detroit. He'll yield to Jhonkensy Noel in right field Friday. |
|
Jul 11 2024 | The Guardians reinstated Brennan (rib cage) from the 10-day injured list Thursday. He'll start in right field and bat seventh in the Guardians' series finale in Detroit. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Utility man Gabriel Arias was optioned to Triple-A Columbus to create room on the 26-man active roster for Brennan, who missed about two and a half weeks with rib cage inflammation. Brennan should step back into a strong-side platoon role in the corner outfield for the Guardians now that he's healthy again. |
|
Jun 27 2024 | The Guardians placed Brennan on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a strained oblique. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan last played on Monday and evidently must have tweaked his oblique during that game in Baltimore. He will be eligible to return late next week, but with the severity of the strain not known, it's uncertain how long he'll actually be sidelined. Daniel Schneemann, Gabriel Arias and Jhonkensy Noel could all pick up more at-bats while Brennan is out. |
|
Jun 26 2024 | Brennan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Brennan will sit for the third time in four games, though Wednesday's contest marks the first occasion during that stretch that he's been on the bench against a right-hander (Grayson Rodriguez). Daniel Schneemann will occupy Brennan's usual spot in right field. |
|
Jun 25 2024 | Brennan is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan had started in nine of the Guardians' previous 10 games, but he'll be on the bench for Tuesday's contest with the Orioles trotting out a lefty (Cole Irvin). Instead, Johnathan Rodriguez will play right field and bat sixth. |
|
Jun 20 2024 | Brennan went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and a double Thursday against the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan cranked his first long ball off Luis Castillo in the second to tie the game, then blasted a second off Trent Thornton that provided the winning margin for the Guardians. It was the first career two-homer game for Brennan, who also sandwiched in a ground rule double in the fourth to give him three extra-base hits on the day. Brennan has caught fire of late as this was the fourth time he's had multiple hits in his last six games, giving him 10 hits in 24 at-bats (.417) with two homers, two doubles, four RBI and six runs scored during that timeframe. |
|
Jun 18 2024 | Brennan went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan has three multi-hit efforts over his last four games. The outfielder has been limited to a strong-side platoon role this season, though he's been little more than average for much of the year. He's at a .249/.306/.386 slash line with six home runs, 22 RBI, 24 runs scored and three stolen bases through 62 contests. Brennan is likely to share right field with Johnathan Rodriguez for now, as David Fry should settle into being the Guardians' main designated hitter following Kyle Manzardo's demotion to Triple-A Columbus earlier Tuesday. |
|
Jun 15 2024 | Brennan went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old took Kevin Gausman deep in the fourth inning for what proved to be the game-winning run. Brennan snapped a 16-game extra-base hit drought with the performance, and Friday's long ball gave him a new career high with six on the season after he slugged five in 138 games last year. On the season, Brennan is slashing .237/.299/.384 as a strong-side platoon player in the Guardians' outfield. |
|
Jun 12 2024 | Brennan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Guardians will face a left-handed starting pitcher (Nick Lodolo) for the third game in a row, so the lefty-hitting Brennan will begin the contest on the bench once again. David Fry will replace Brennan in right field for the second straight day. |
|
Jun 11 2024 | Brennan is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Cincinnati. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Reds are opening with left-hander Brent Suter in this one. It's possible Brennan enters mid-game when a right-hander comes in, but he will begin the contest on the bench. David Fry is covering right field. |
|
Jun 1 2024 | Brennan will sit Saturday against Washington. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan will remain on the bench as the Guardians face left-hander Mitchell Parker. Johnathan Rodriguez will draw the start in right field, batting fifth versus the Nationals. |
|
May 31 2024 | Brennan is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Washington, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Brennan will get a break as southpaw Patrick Corbin takes the mound for the Nationals. Gabriel Arias will move into right field and bat eighth in place of Brennan while Steven Kwan and Tyler Freeman round out Cleveland's outfield. |
|
May 29 2024 | Brennan isn't in the Guardians' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With left-hander Ty Blach set to toe the slab for Colorado, Brennan and his .550 OPS versus LHP will begin the game in the dugout. His absence will allow Johnathan Rodriguez to start in right field while batting sixth. |
|
May 26 2024 | Brennan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll join fellow left-handed hitters Bo Naylor, Kyle Manzardo and Estevan Florial on the bench while the Angels bring southpaw Reid Detmers to the bump. Johnathan Rodriguez will start in right field in Brennan's stead. |
|
May 24 2024 | Brennan isn't in the Guardians' lineup for Friday's game against the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan will retreat to the bench Friday as southpaw Patrick Sandoval prepares to toe the slab for Los Angeles. Gabriel Arias, Tyler Freeman and Johnathan Rodriguez will start across the outfield while Brennan sits. |
|
May 22 2024 | Brennan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Brennan will head to the bench with southpaw Jose Quintana on the hill for the Mets. While Brennan sits, Johnathan Rodriguez will draw a second straight start in the Guardians outfield to wrap up the series versus the Mets after the rookie went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Tuesday's 7-6 win. |
|
May 20 2024 | Brennan went 1-for-4 with a three-run walk-off home run in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Twins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan played the hero Sunday, taking Jhoan Duran deep in the bottom of the ninth inning after the Twins tied the game a half-inning earlier. The homer was Brennan's first since May 1. The outfielder is hitting .254 (15-for-59) in May with four extra-base hits over 18 contests, though that's an improvement from earlier in the campaign. Brennan is slashing .231/.283/.396 with five homers, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored and two stolen bases over 145 plate appearances while seeing a majority of the playing time in right field. |
|
May 14 2024 | Brennan is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan will get a maintenance day Tuesday after starting eight consecutive games for the Guardians. Estevan Florial will handle right field while Tyler Freeman and David Fry man center and left, respectively. |
|
May 4 2024 | Brennan isn't in the Guardians' lineup Saturday versus the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Left-hander Reid Detmers will toe the slab for Los Angeles on Saturday, meaning the lefty-hitting Brennan will begin the game in the dugout. Ramon Laureano will fill the void in right field and bat fifth. |
|
May 2 2024 | Brennan went 3-for-4 in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan's playing time has steadied lately with the Guardians facing five straight right-handed pitchers. The outfielder's results are still all over the place -- Brennan has five multi-hit efforts and three home runs over his last nine games, but he's gone 0-fer in the other four contests in that span. His trio of singles Thursday lifted his batting average from .228 to .253, and he's added four homers, 11 RBI, 13 runs scored and two stolen bases through 90 plate appearances on the year. Brennan remains in a strong-side platoon role with the majority of his playing time coming in right field. |
|
Apr 25 2024 | Brennan went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Red Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan opened the scoring with a solo shot off Chase Anderson in the second inning, his third homer of the year. Brennan's started to swing the bat well recently -- he's now 6-for-13 with five extra-base hits (including two homers) in his last four games. The left-handed Brennan has gotten the majority of starts in right field this season with Ramon Laureano occupying the short side of the platoon. He's now slashing .250/.310/.453 through 71 plate appearances with 11 runs scored, 10 RBI and two stolen bases. |
|
Apr 21 2024 | Brennan went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 6-2 win over the Athletics. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brennan teed off on A's starter Ross Stripling, tagging him for a long ball in the second inning and then hitting a double -- and eventually scoring -- in the fourth. The contest marked Brennan's first multi-hit game since Apr. 3 and broke him out of a 2-for-24 (.083) slump that spanned nine games. He's up to a .222 batting average on the season while striking out at a 14.8 percent clip. |
