The Cleveland Guardians are calling up former No. 1 overall pick Travis Bazzana to the major league roster, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. The 23-year-old infielder is expected to take over at second base immediately as the team continues its push for the postseason.
Travis Bazzana earns the promotion following a productive stint at the Triple-A level. In 24 games this season, Bazzana hit .287/.422/.511, demonstrating the plate discipline and power that led to his selection as the top pick in the draft. His arrival comes at a critical juncture for the Guardians, who currently sit just a half-game out of first place in the American League Central standings.
By bringing up Travis Bazzana, Cleveland is looking to bolster its middle infield production for the stretch run. The move signals the organization's confidence in the young prospect's ability to contribute to a high-stakes divisional race. Further details regarding the corresponding roster move have not yet been announced.
