Gavin Williams experienced a recurrence of elbow soreness after his most recent outing. He’ll get an injection and be shut down for seven days before resuming his throwing program.

Cleveland's baseball team, a charter member of the American League in 1901, has never had a better 23-game start to a season than this one.

ICYMI: The latest episode of the Ultimate Cleveland Guardians Show premiered this morning.

We talked about the Guardians sweep over the weekend, the future of Josh Naylor and more!

So much to discuss:

-What makes this year different, according to the players?

-Josh Naylor goes Josh Naylor mode

-Are reinforcements necessary right now?

-Zack tries out a new team nickname (you can guess how that went)

In the 124-year history of Cleveland's baseball franchise, only once has the team had a better 22-game start than this year's 16-6 record.

If we earthlings ever have to fend off an extraterrestrial invasion, I'm grateful to have Josh Naylor on our side.

The Guardians traded cash for Padres pitcher Pedro Avila. He'll join the roster in the coming days.

They transferred Angel Martinez to the 60-day injured list. He has a fractured hamate bone in his hand.

The best record in baseball (12-5) belongs to….. the Cleveland Guardians.

Elbow injuries are plaguing baseball. And no one has a surefire means of prevention.

Some pitchers can’t shake the thought that they will be the next one to suffer a season-wrecking injury.

But it's up to them to keep pushing forward.

Touki Toussaint pitched for Cleveland on June 16, 2023, his only day on the club's active roster.

One spot start. 3 2/3 innings. That's it. Designated for assignment the next day. Great dude, though. #RandomJerseySightings
