The Cleveland Guardians are aiming for a postseason appearance while holding the third American League Wild Card spot and sitting two games behind the Chicago White Sox in the American League Central. The team is currently navigating the final stretch of the season without designated hitter Rhys Hoskins. Hoskins remains on the injured list with lower back inflammation but has resumed baseball activities. Team officials anticipate he could return to the lineup sometime in September.

The organization views his potential return as a tactical boost for a roster that leans heavily on younger players. The Guardians prepare for their next matchup on Friday at 8:10 PM ET against the Minnesota Twins.
