The Cleveland Guardians are making a change in the outfield.
However, fans will have to wait at least one more day to learn who will be taking over the open roster spot.
Cleveland optioned outfielder George Valera to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday. However, the AL Central club is off today and does not need to announce the corresponding move until Friday.
Cade Cracas of Sports Illustrated wrote Thursday that the Guardians should consider promoting one of Team Chinese Taipei's stars from the World Baseball Classic.
"Of every player in Cleveland's minor league system, right-handed outfielder Stuart Fairchild makes the most sense," Cracas wrote. "While he isn't on the 40-man roster yet, meaning the Guardians are going to have to free up space for him to be added, he was signed this past offseason to give the team outfield depth."
