The Guardians have outrighted pitcher Vince Velasquez back to Triple-A Columbus after a brief stint where he didn't make an appearance. Despite struggling in the minors with a 10 earned runs allowed in 15 innings, he was called up during a busy schedule. Velasquez's contract allows him to reject the assignment for free agency, though options are limited. Meanwhile, Cleveland's rotation is underperforming significantly, ranked 27th in the league, with hopes that injured players like Shane Bieber can return later this season.
The Guardians announced they have outrighted Vince Velasquez back to Triple-A Columbus, after short stint on the big league roster where he did not play.
Velasquez secured a prorated $1.5MM salary by reaching the majors, which may motivate him to improve in the minors.
Cleveland's rotation has struggled, ranked 27th in MLB with a 4.59 ERA, as they hope players like Shane Bieber can return from injuries.
While Velasquez has the right to decline the outright assignment, it's unclear if he will test free agency with limited options.
