Cleveland Guardians Make Intriguing Roster Move on Sunday

While Noel is a fan-favorite in Cleveland, it should come as no surprise that the team decided to move him back down to Triple-A with the Columbus Clippers. This season, the 23-year-old is batting .146 with two home runs and 34 strikeouts. It's obvious that Noel offers power to a lineup that lacks juice, however, his consistent struggles at the plate this season have been an issue for the Guardians. He will now get a chance to recalibrate his swing with the Clippers.

In addition to the move, the Guardians will also be recalling Rodriguez to take over Noel's role with the club. The 25-year-old prospect has been on a tear so far this season in Columbus, batting .324 with an OPS of .902 and seven home runs through 46 games. Rodriguez record five at bats with the Guardians in the month of April, but now, he gets another chance to prove himself at the Major League-level.
