The Cleveland Guardians place outfielder Chase DeLauter on the injured list with a broken rib, according to multiple reports. The moves also involve the team calling up Kahlil Watson from Triple-A Columbus to replace DeLauter on the active roster. The recall gives Watson an opportunity to make a major league debut. Coverage notes that DeLauter’s injury is part of a broader run of setbacks for the Guardians’ position players. Sources state that other Guardians players, including José Ramírez and Angel Martinez, are also on the injured list, underscoring the impact on the team’s lineup depth. With DeLauter sidelined, Cleveland uses the Watson promotion to fill an outfield role while he recovers. The reports describe the sequence as an IL placement followed by a corresponding roster move, with Cleveland adjusting its roster to maintain outfield coverage during DeLauter’s recovery period.
