6/08/25	Former IronPigs and Phillies: Where are they now?. Ben Lively revived his career again the last two seasons with Cleveland, combining for a 15-12 record, 3.68 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 38 starts.

5/30/25	Guardians acquire new 6-foot-4 pitcher after Ben Lively injury. The Cleveland Guardians were recently dealt a big blow with the season-ending injury of starting pitcher Ben Lively. They made a move Thursday to address their pitching depth. The Guardians claimed 6-foot-4 lefty Matt Krook off waivers from the Athletics. Krook was designated for assignment earlier in the week by the A's. The 30-year old signed with the Athletics this offseason on a minor league deal. In Triple-A Las Vegas this season, Krook had a 3.21 ERA with 21 strikeouts in 14 innings. Krook's biggest bugaboo is a career 15% walk rate in professional baseball.

5/27/25	Guardians Have Clear Plan For Recently Optioned Pitcher. The Cleveland Guardians once again find themselves in need of more starting pitching, especially with Ben Lively undergoing season-ending surgery and Slade Cecconi dealing with mild tightness in his groin. To give themselves another option in the future, the Guardians optioned Joey Cantillo to Triple-A on Tuesday, with the sole purpose of stretching him to be a starter. "When we broke spring training, we needed Joey in the bullpen for where our roster was, and now we feel like we're at a point where we want to get Joey back in the mix as a starting pitching option," Stephen Vogt said ahead of Tuesday.

The Cleveland Guardians have been in a pitching bind since the season began, and the situation only got more dire when RHP Ben Lively was placed on the injured list with a forearm injury. With Lively on the sidelines, the Guardians needed another pitcher to step into the rotation. It appears RHP Slade Cecconi will get the first chance to claim that spot. Cleveland acquired Cecconi over the offseason from the Arizona Diamondbacks when they traded Josh Naylor there last December. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/guardians/news/cleveland-gu...
