The Guardians have designated right-hander Scott Barlow for assignment, with Anthony Gose taking his spot on the roster. Barlow, previously a strong pitcher, had a disappointing 2023 season, finishing with a 5.35 ERA.
Barlow, acquired by the Guardians from the Padres, formerly had an impressive track record, including a noteworthy 2.30 ERA and 40 saves across 2021 and 2022.
Despite initial optimism from his performance metrics last year, Barlow's struggles in run prevention this season led to his current assignment status.
Following his time with San Diego where he improved significantly, the Guardians hoped Barlow would fill a key relief role, but budget cuts necessitated the change.
