The Guardians announced that right-hander has been reinstated from the injured list, a move that was earlier today. In a corresponding move, left-hander has been designated for a signment. Gose, 33, was selected to the clubs roster just three days ago. He has made one appearance since then, which was in the first game of Clevelands doubleheader against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. He pitched an inning and a third, striking out one but also allowing two earned runs thanks to a walk and a home run. Not much can be gleaned from such a small sample size, but Gose was likely not a big part of the clubs long-term plans. Though he has just 29 innings pitched, thats mostly Kirk Maltby Jersey due to his circuitous route to being a big league pitcher. Gose was an outfielder at the big league level from 2012 to 2016 but never hit much and eventually tried a move to the mound. Incredibly, he succeeded in this late-career conversion, to sing 27 2/3 innings for the Guards over the 2021 and 2022 seasons with a 3.90 ERA, 31.9% strikeout rate and 13.8% walk rate. Unfortunately, Tommy John surgery in September of 2022 put the feel-good story on ice. He was non-tendered by Cleveland at the end of that season and re-signed on a two-year minor league deal to cover his recovery period. On his rehab a signment this year, he showed that he still has some strikeout stuff, punching out 34.2% of Triple-A hitters. However, the lack of control was still an i sue, as he walked 14.3% of batters faced. In his small sample of major league work, his velocity was down a bit. His fastball averaged 99.3 miles per hour in 2021 and was at 97 in 2022, but that was down to 94.5 mph this week. Though Gose has a nice story and the Guards have stuck by him for a while, hell turn 34 years old tomorrow and still has some wildne s. Cleveland has the best bullpen in the majors this year, with their collective 2.68 ERA being far ahead of second-place Atlantas 3.20. Theyre also in a tight playoff race right now, just 2.5 games ahead of the Twins in the Central and only 3.5 clear of the Royals, so taking on a bit of a project like Gose maybe isnt in the cards. With the trade deadline now pa sed, the club will have to put him on waivers in the coming days. Perhaps some other club will be enticed by his strikeouts and put in a claim, hoping that more reps as he distances himself from the surgery will help him harne s his command. If someone does put in a claim, he has over three years of service time and would pa s the four-year mark if he stays in the majors for the rest of the year. Hes out of options but could be controlled via arbitration for two seasons beyond this one. With over three years of service, he will have the right to reject an outright a signment in favor of free agency. Since he has le s than five, doing so would mean forfeiting whatever money hes still owed on his deal, but its likely a minimal amount since it was a minor league pact. Alex Lyon Jersey
