The Guardians could need some fresh arms out of the bullpen, no matter how the game pans out. Cleveland used six pitchers out of the bullpen in their extra innings win on Tuesday and used two in their loss on Wednesday. There's a very real possibility that Gillispie sees some action in the finale. The 26-year-old has appeared in just one game, which was against the Baltimore Orioles on August 4. He pitched 3.0 innings, giving up one run, walking two batters, and striking out three.
