Travis Bazzana has arrived.

The Cleveland Guardians finally called up their No. 1 prospect and future face of the franchise last week.

Bazzana's joining the big-league team is exciting for the team’s future, but his arrival will impact a group of players already on the roster.

Daniel Schneemann

Stephen Vogt continues to find a spot for Daniel Schneemann in the lineup as he’s been one of the Guardians’ best hitters a month into the regular season. It’s been easy to find playing time for Schneemann because, too, of his versatility, but Bazzana changes that.

With Bazzana being Cleveland’s primary second baseman and Brayan Rocchio at shortstop, Schneemann will likely see most of his playing time in the outfield moving forward.

Sure, an occasional off-day for Bazzana, Rocchio, or Jose Ramirez could push the Gold Glove finalist back into the infield, but Schneemann will likely see the majority of his time in the field in center field.

Bonus Player: Steven Kwan. If Schneemann is playing more outfield, that could also push Kwan back to left field after a spring training full of center-field reps.
