How Will the Guardians Navigate the Sudden Rash of Long and Short Term Pitching Injuries?

Locked On Guardians - Daily Podcast On The Cleveland Guardians

The Cleveland Guardians got some rough pitching injury news on Thursday, losing Trevor Stephan for the 2024 season with elbow surgery, as well as another lost year for Daniel Espino, as he underwent a second shoulder surgery.

Gavin Williams and Sam Hentges appear to have short-term injuries, and James Karinchak is stuck between short and long-term injury status.

How will the Guardians replace Stephan in the bullpen and how much impact does it have on the Guardians playoff chances?

Are we more concerned about Williams' elbow?

Who will fill in for him in the short term?

What should we expect out of Espino when he returns?

We also discuss the Justin Campbell situation briefly.

And what to watch for in baseball this weekend - NOT the Guardians prospect breakout game, but college baseball.
