The 23-year-old second baseman hit .287 with 2 home runs and 10 RBIs in Triple-A before Cleveland promoted him.

  • The Cleveland Guardians are calling up top prospect Travis Bazzana, who could make his major-league debut tonight against the Tampa Bay Rays at Progressive Field.
  • Selected with the first pick in the 2024 MLB June Amateur Draft out of Oregon State, the 23-year-old infielder has steadily ascended through the minor league ranks, including stints in Triple-A Columbus.
  • Bazzana has displayed strong performance metrics in Columbus, slashing.287/.422/.511 with two home runs and 10 RBIs in 24 games, while recording 21 walks and 25 strikeouts.
  • Juan Brito, batting.176 with 17 strikeouts in 51 at-bats, is expected to be sent down to make room for Bazzana to take over as full-time second baseman.
  • Positioned as a long-term addition, Bazzana aims to spark an offense tied for 19th in MLB with 118 runs as the team seeks their third consecutive American League Central title.
