CLEVELAND, Ohio (WKBN) - Zack Meisel of The Athletic is reporting that the Cleveland Guardians are expected to promote highly-touted prospect Kyle Manzardo to the Major League roster on Monday.

He is set to make his Major League debut with the Guardians.

Outfielder Steven Kwan will reportedly be placed on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring injury.

This season at Triple-A Columbus, Manzardo is batting .303 with 9 home runs and 20 RBI's.

Manzardo is rated as Cleveland's No. 2 overall prospect. He was acquired by the Guardians from Tampa Bay in the trade that sent pitcher Aaron Civale to the Rays in July of 2023.
