The Cleveland Guardians encountered significant difficulties on June 14, 2026, after Jose Ramirez broke a bone in his left hand during a game. Ramirez's injury is considered severe, impacting his ability to play defense. To mitigate the loss, Daniel Schneeman is expected to take over at third base, with potential call-ups from the minor leagues.
