The Guardians reinstated Manzardo from the family medical emergency list prior to the opener of a four-game series against the Chicago White Sox. Outfielder Jhonkensy Noel was optioned to Triple-A Columbus.

Manzardo was in the cleanup spot against Chicago. He came in batting .217 with 13 homers and 33 RBIs.

Cleveland was fourth in the AL Central at 43-48. The Guardians swept three games at Houston after losing 10 in a row. ___
