Guardians Reportedly Promote Cooper Ingle Ahead of Mariners Series

The move gives a top prospect a major-league chance that could help shore up Cleveland’s offense after recent injuries.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported Friday that the Guardians plan to promote Cooper Ingle from Triple-A Columbus for the weekend series against the Seattle Mariners.
  • The club had not publicly confirmed the roster move at the time of reporting, leaving the exact 26-man and 40-man roster churn unannounced.
  • Ingle earned the opportunity with a Triple-A breakout this season, hitting .284/.416/.551 with 12 home runs, 41 RBIs and 41 walks in 51 games for Columbus.
  • Cleveland’s decision follows injuries to José Ramírez, Angel Martínez and Chase DeLauter that have reduced run production and created short-term lineup openings.
  • Originally drafted as a catcher out of Clemson, Ingle has been given starts in left field to expand his path to the majors and is rated among the Guardians’ top prospects by several outlets.
