Cleveland Guardians' Pitching Rotation Update and Victory over Arizona Diamondbacks - Sports

The Cleveland Guardians are making some changes to their starting rotation as they prepare to face the Arizona Diamondbacks . Left - hander Logan Allen is set to return to the rotation for the series opener against the Diamondbacks , while right - hander Triston McKenzie continues to show progress at Triple - A Columbus . Pitching coach Carl Willis provided updates on both pitchers , indicating that Allen will be activated to pitch against Arizona after some successful outings at Triple - A.

 McKenzie had an impressive performance at Triple - A Columbus , striking out 11 batters and allowing only four hits over six innings in a recent game . Willis noted that McKenzie displayed good fastball velocity , reaching speeds of up to 96 mph . The Guardians are hopeful that McKenzie can continue to build on this strong performance as he works his way back to the major league rotation.

In addition to Allen and McKenzie , the Guardians have other pitchers lined up to face the Diamondbacks in the upcoming series . Tanner Bibee , who had his start pushed back due to shoulder tightness , is also making progress towards rejoining the rotation . Willis mentioned that Bibee will need to throw a bullpen session before he can be cleared to start again , but the team is encouraged by his physical improvement.

Allen , who was recently optioned to Triple - A , has been performing well in his recent starts , with a 2 - 0 record and a 3.86 ERA . On the other hand , McKenzie has had a mixed performance since being optioned in June , with a 1 - 1 record and a 5.09 ERA . The Guardians will be counting on these pitchers to deliver strong outings as they face off against the Diamondbacks.

The upcoming series against the Diamondbacks will be an important test for the Guardians as they look to improve their standing in the league . With key pitchers like Allen and McKenzie showing promise , there is optimism within the team that they can put together a successful run . As the season progresses , the Guardians will continue to make adjustments to their rotation in order to put their best foot forward on the field.
