Jun 29 2025Manzardo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With southpaw Matthew Liberatore on the bump for the Cardinals, Manzardo will join fellow left-handed hitters Bo Naylor, Daniel Schneemann and Nolan Jones on the bench. David Fry will replace Manzardo as the Guardians' designated hitter.
Jun 25 2025Manzardo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to Toronto. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manzardo entered as a pinch hitter for David Fry in the seventh and finished the game at designated hitter. He eventually launched his 12th home run of the season -- and first in 13 games -- in the ninth inning. Manzardo had a nice start to the season as the team's primary DH -- he homered eight times and had a .557 slugging percentage through the first 26 contests -- but he has since lost playing time to Fry as his power stroke has waned. Since April 30, Manzardo has just four home runs and is slugging .378 over 41 games.
Jun 11 2025Manzardo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-handed-hitting Manzardo has produced a .947 OPS in 40 plate appearances versus lefties this season, but he'll likely find himself on the bench more frequently against southpaws while the Guardians have plenty of right-handed bats available off the bench. David Fry will replace Manzardo at designated hitter in Wednesday's series finale while the Reds send southpaw Nick Lodolo to the bump.
Jun 8 2025Manzardo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With southpaw Brandon Walter on the hill for the Astros, Manzardo will hit the bench for the series finale. Though he's produced a .206/.300/.647 slash line (155 wRC+) over 40 plate appearances versus lefties this season, Manzardo could have to settle for a strong-side platoon role at designated hitter with David Fry now off the IL.
Jun 5 2025Manzardo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manzardo's eighth-inning homer finished the scoring and snapped his 15-game long-ball drought. He'd entered the contest mired in a slump, batting .180 (9-for-50) with three RBI during that span. Manzardo is up to 11 home runs and 29 RBI while batting .211 over 54 games.
Jun 3 2025Manzardo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With lefty Carlos Rodon on the bump for the Yankees, the left-handed-hitting Manzardo will begin the tilt on the bench. David Fry is at designated hitter and batting cleanup for the Guardians.
May 28 2025Manzardo isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manzardo's streak of eight consecutive starts comes to an end Wednesday as the Guardians face off against southpaw Clayton Kershaw. Jose Ramirez will DH while Carlos Santana plays first base.
May 25 2025Manzardo will start at first base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-handed-hitting Manzardo was initially scheduled to receive the day off, but he'll end up having to face Tarik Skubal after the Guardians made Carlos Santana (leg) a late scratch. Manzando has a surprising 1.139 OPS, albeit in only 34 plate appearances, against southpaws this season.
May 15 2025Manzardo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 9-5 loss to Milwaukee. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manzardo put the Guardians on the board with a second-inning home run. After leaving the yard five times over 53 games in 2024, Manzardo has gone deep 10 times in 38 games this season.
May 10 2025Manzardo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-0 win over the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old slugger opened the scoring in the fourth inning by driving an Aaron Nola fastball 411 feet to straightaway center field. Manzardo is emerging as a desperately needed power source for Cleveland, and through 33 games he's slashing .221/.326/.504 with nine homers, 16 runs and 22 RBI.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manzardo will sit out the final game of Tuesday's activities after going 0-for-4 with an RBI and scoring a run during the early game.
