McKenzie has now taken the next step in his recovery, making his timeline to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/guardians-news-cleveland-loses-sp-il-following-triston-mckenzie-injury" rel="noopener">return to the Guardians</a> much clearer.</p><p>McKenzie <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/guardians-injuries-and-roster-moves" rel="noopener">threw a bullpen session</a> prior to Cleveland’s April 29 game against the Boston Red Sox, via MLB.com. Furthermore, McKenzie took part in another bullpen session on May 2. The Guardians plan to send McKenzie to their Arizona training facility before he begins his rehab assignment.</p><p>The right-hander is currently dealing with a right teres major muscle strain. It was expected that he would miss around two months to start the season. McKenzie isn’t exactly in the clear just yet, but he has taken major strides in his return. If he is able to keep progressing in his throwing program, a rehab assignment would be the final step to return to the Guardians.</p><p>Triston McKenzie had his best season in the major leagues last year. Over a career-high 31 games, McKenzie put up a 11-11 record with a 2.96 ERA and a 190/44 K/BB ratio. Both his ERA and strikeout numbers were career-bests.</p><p>Cleveland is currently three games behind the Minnesota Twins in the AL Central with their 14-17 record. Their pitching staff has been one of their strengths with the Guardians’ collective 3.95 ERA ranked 12th in the major leagues.</p><p>Getting McKenzie back will only help the Guardians AL Central chances while boosting an already strong rotation. There still isn’t a set timetable on McKenzie’s return. However, he is slowly working his way back to Cleveland.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He was not viewed as someone who has the top end stuff like Shane Bieber or Triston McKenzie, but this is a blow to the depth of Cleveland’s starting rotation.</p><p>The Guardians were already dealing with the loss of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/guardians-news-triston-mckenzie-pivotal-injury-update-rehab-going-well" rel="noopener">Triston McKenzie</a> due to a right trees major muscle strain he suffered in Spring Training. His absence is likely to be lengthy. An oblique strain can take a while to recover from as well, so it will be worth monitoring Civale’s recovery timeline.</p><p>Shane Bieber is pitching tonight against the New York Yankees, and he will have to carry the load from a starting pitching standpoint. Zach Plesac will need to contribute as well. The expected rotation coming into the season was Bieber, Triston McKenzie, Zach Plesac, Cal Quantril and Civale. Now the rotation will be Bieber, Please, Cal Quantril, Hunter Gaddis and Peyton Battenfield.</p><p>The Guardians came into the season as the favorite to win the American League Central. They have gotten off to a 6-4 start to the season. It will be interesting to track how the starting pitching performs in the absence of McKenzie and Civale for the foreseeable future. They will need to stay afloat for the time being until their starting pitching depth comes back.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Cleveland, however, is known for their ability to develop stars and build a strong foundation. The Guardians established that goal last year, as they made the playoffs despite featuring MLB’s youngest roster. With 2023 Opening Day right around the corner, the Guardians <a href="https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/1640763585671430154" rel="noopener">have reportedly agreed</a> to a contract extension with All-Star second baseman Andres Gimenez as they aim to keep their core intact for years to come, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan.</p><p>The <a href="https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/1640776405792305154" rel="noopener">deal is worth</a> a total of $106.5 million over seven years with a club option for 2031, per Passan.</p><p>Gimenez emerged as a superstar in 2022, making the American League All-Star team and winning a Gold Glove Award. He played a pivotal role in Cleveland’s lineup alongside Jose Ramirez as well.</p><p>The Guardians are clearly trying to lock up their core. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/guardians-news-cleveland-jose-ramirez-agree-to-huge-5-year-124-million-extension" rel="noopener">They signed Jose Ramirez</a> and Myles Straw to contract extensions last year. Cleveland is <a href="https://twitter.com/ZackMeisel/status/1640761329408679938" rel="noopener">now looking to sign</a> some of their other young stars to extensions, per The Athletic’s Zack Meisel.</p><p>“The Guardians are in advanced negotiations with multiple players on contract extensions, sources say. Among the players they’ve discussed a deal with this spring: Andrés Giménez, Amed Rosario, Triston McKenzie, Steven Kwan, Trevor Stephan,” Meisel previously wrote on Twitter.</p><p>With Gimenez and the Guardians reportedly agreeing on a contract, it will be interesting to see if the ball club can sign any of the other players Meisel mentioned. Rosario and McKenzie are more proven than the others, but Kwan and Stephan were also crucial to Cleveland’s success in 2022.</p><p>It should be noted that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/guardians-news-triston-mckenzie-injury-scare-opening-day" rel="noopener">McKenzie is expected</a> to open the season on the injured list. Nevertheless, he’s still a pitcher the Guardians likely envision being with the team for the long-term.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
