The Cleveland Guardians made a notable roster move with their pitching staff on Friday.
According to Francys Romero of BeisbolFR, the AL Central club has made a new addition to its bullpen.
"Sources: The Cleveland Guardians are promoting Cuban right-hander Franco Aleman to MLB," Romero wrote on X.
"Aleman, 26, has not allowed a run this season in Triple-A Columbus, with 12 innings pitched and 18 strikeouts. His fastball velocity ranges between 95-99 mph."
Aleman was a 10th-round draft pick out of the University of Florida. What makes his 0.00 ERA so impressive is that he posted an ugly 7.85 ERA in 36.2 innings at Triple-A in 2025.
However, this is not the longest scoreless streak of his minor league career. In 24 innings in 2023 at Double-A Akron, the 25-year-old allowed no runs and struck out 38.
