Guyer (shoulder) is in the lineup for Game 3 of the ALDS against the Astros on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Guyer missed the final weekend of the regular season while battling a shoulder issue and has yet to appear in the playoffs. He'll bat seventh and play right field Monday with lefty Dallas Keuchel on the mound.

Guyer is not playing in Tuesday's intrasquad scrimmage due to a right shoulder issue, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The nature and severity of the injury are not clear, but it was enough to keep him out for the entirety of last weekend's series against the Royals. If Guyer is able to make the ALDS roster, he'll likely start against lefty Dallas Keuchel and be an option off the bench in the other games.

Guyer (knee) will start in right field and hit fifth Sunday against the Athletics, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Guyer had been on the bench for the previous three games with a bruised left knee, but was able to enter Saturday's game as a pinch hitter, striking out in his lone at-bat. With the Indians apparently comfortable with his health, Guyer should re-emerge as a fixture in the lineup against left-handed pitching.

Guyer exited Tuesday's win over the Royals with a left knee bruise, Zack Meisel of The Athletic Cleveland reports.
EDGE Analysis
Guyer fouled a balled off the knee and was unable to finish the game, being replaced by Tyler Naquin for the ninth inning. The severity of the injury is currently unclear, and the 32-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now.

Guyer (neck) was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list prior to Thursday's game.
EDGE Analysis
Guyer will be ready to contribute immediately after spending the past few weeks rehabbing at the minor-league level. That being said, the 32-year-old has done little at the plate to warrant any sort of extended playing time with the Indians this season, hitting just .150/.244/.325 with three home runs and 10 RBI over 33 contests. Expect him to serve as a reserve outfielder moving forward, especially since the Indians designated Melky Cabrera for assignment in a corresponding move.

Guyer (neck) will stay on his rehab assignment this weekend since the Indians aren't set to face any southpaws in Detroit, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Guyer was initially expected to return from the 10-day DL on Friday, but the club will extend his minor-league assignment due to potential pitching matchups. Though this isn't optimal for Guyer or his fantasy owners, it's a good sign that he appears to be near full health, as we should see him back in Cleveland next week.

Guyer (neck) is expected to come off the 10-day disabled list Friday, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Terry Francona stated Guyer won't be reinstated until Friday, after initially believing he'd return to action as soon as Tuesday. Bradley Zimmer was demoted to Triple-A on Tuesday, so Guyer will likely compete for playing time with Rajai Davis, Greg Allen and Melky Cabrera. Guyer was hitting a dismal .150 with three homers and 10 RBI through 33 games prior to suffering a neck strain May 23.

Indians manager Terry Francona said he expects Guyer (neck) to return from the 10-day disabled list Tuesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Francona also anticipates that outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall (calf) will be ready to come off the DL the same day, which could create some tough roster decisions for Cleveland. The Tribe already welcomed Bradley Zimmer (chest) back from the DL on Friday, and the impending returns of Chisenhall and Guyer would give Cleveland six outfielders with Michael Brantley, Melky Cabrera and Greg Allen also in the fold. Since Allen and Zimmer are the only players among that group with minor-league options remaining, it would seem that one of the two would be most at risk of losing his spot on the 25-man roster once Guyer and Chisenhall are ready to go.

Guyer (neck) moved his rehab assignment to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday. He started in center field and went 1-for-5 with a run scored in Columbus' 7-5 win over Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Guyer has now appeared in four total rehab games, though the hit he recorded Tuesday was his first in 17 at-bats. The poor results at the plate aren't expected to impact Guyer's timeline for returning from the 10-day disabled list, which could happen at some point this weekend. Guyer will likely settle back into a short-side platoon role in the outfield upon rejoining the Indians.
