Angel Genao promoted by Guardians as top prospect following injury
Summary

The Cleveland Guardians are set to promote Angel Genao, following a setback for Jose Ramirez and his injured left hand. This comes after George Lombard made an immediate impact with the Yankees, hitting a homer in his MLB debut. Genao's performance this season includes a.299 batting average with 11 home runs and 11 steals across Double-A and Triple-A. Despite Lombard receiving more attention, Genao's ability to hit well could secure his position with the Guardians if Ramirez's absence extends. Genao may also gain eligibility at third base, offering further value for Fantasy leagues.
