Tanner Bibee remains unused for Guardians in ALCS against Rays

Summary

Tanner Bibee, who is on the Cleveland Guardians' playoff roster, has not pitched in the ALCS against the Tampa Bay Rays. Despite Game 6 being ideal for his use, the Guardians opted for alternatives amid a bullpen game. Bibee's only ALDS appearance was disappointing, as he allowed two runs and recorded just one out. The decision to keep him on the roster while not utilizing him raises questions about the team's confidence in his abilities. If the series concludes without him seeing action, it could reflect poorly on the roster decision-making.
