The Cleveland Guardians announced the recall of outfielder Will Brennan from Triple-A Columbus, with infielder Brayan Rocchio being sent down as a corresponding move. Rocchio, who had played 143 games in the 2024 season as Cleveland's primary shortstop, struggled significantly in 2025, hitting just .165 with low offensive metrics. His decline in performance led to the rise of Gabriel Arias as the starting shortstop, prompting the decision to option Rocchio back to the minors, signaling a shift in the teamâs strategy.
Rocchio's struggles this season and gradual loss of playing time led to his recall from Triple-A Columbus as the Guardians look to improve performance.
Despite a solid defensive reputation, Rocchio's hitting has plummeted this year, necessitating the Guardians' decision to option him back to the minors.
