Cleveland Guardians call up Daniel Schneemann and Carlos Hernandez to active roster

The Cleveland Guardians added utility player Daniel Schneemann and right-handed reliever Carlos Hernandez to the major league roster on September 1, 2026. Schneemann returns to the big league club after recording a 130 wRC+ with runners in scoring position this season. Hernandez, who sat out the previous offseason following a vehicle accident that resulted in arm and femur fractures, joins the bullpen after spending time in Columbus. During his minor league work, Hernandez maintained a 96 mph fastball and averaged 13.5 strikeouts per nine innings despite struggles with barrel contact. The team move is expected to provide depth while the organization awaits the return of pitcher Slade Cecconi. The move follows recent appearances by Hernandez in the minors and precedes the team's continued pursuit of playoff positioning in the American League.
