Guardians claime pitchers Lucas Giolito, Matt Matt and Reynaldo Lopez on waivers from Angels.
They also will be able to ease the workload of a rotation that currently includes four rookies -- Tanner Bibee, Xzavion Curry, Gavin Williams and Logan Allen. The bullpen has been taxed as well.
The addition of Gilloto, along with Cal Quantrill coming off the injured list to start against the Rays on Friday, will add some veteran presence to the rotation. The waiver claims may also mean that the return of Shane Bieber and Triston McKenzie from the injured list might be farther away than expected. Although on last report, they were both throwing off the mound while recovering from right elbow injuries.This year Giolito is 7-4 with a 4.45 ERA in 27 starts. He was 6-6 with a 3.79 ERA with the White Sox before being deal to the Angels. He went 1-5 with the Angel.Lopez has made 56 appearances, including 16 starts, with a 3.
Catcher Eric Haase and right-hander Peyton Battenfield were desingated for assingment to make room for the newcomers. This is a gutsy move by a front office that drew heat for trading Aaron Civale, Amed Rosario and Josh Naylor at the Aug. 1 deadline. Now on the final day players can be added to be eligible for the posteason they’re trying to get back in it.
