Cleveland Guardians starting pitchers Tanner Bibee, Joey Cantillo, and Foster Griffin have recorded inconsistent performances as the season nears its end. Bibee has yielded 27 home runs across 30 starts and struggled through two recent appearances against Toronto and Baltimore. Cantillo has experienced command issues over his last four starts, including a recent outing against Baltimore where he pitched 2.1 innings. Foster Griffin, acquired by Cleveland after starting the season with the Washington Nationals, allowed eight earned runs in 2.1 innings during his most recent start on September 9. These fatigue-related challenges have placed additional pressure on the Guardians bullpen. Bibee is scheduled to face the White Sox on September 14, while Cantillo is slated for a September 13 appearance against the Twins.
