Guyer will be sidelined for a couple days due to inflammation in his left wrist, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Guyer underwent an MRI on Wednesday and it will be forced to shut it down for a few days in order to give the wrist some time to heal. Additionally, Guyer is coming off a procedure on his wrist in October after injuring it in mid-September. At this point his status for Opening Day is uncertain, though there should be another update in the coming days once he's able to resume his workouts.

Guyer's left wrist issue flared up Tuesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Guyer had an MRI and will meet with a doctor Thursday for further examination. He initially had surgery on his wrist back in October and was already considerd questionable to return for the start of the season. If reports confirm that his recovery isn't progressing as expected, that would make a trip to the disabled list to start the season seem like the likely outcome.

Guyer (wrist) will compete for a reserve spot in Cleveland's outfield over spring training, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Guyer's main competition for the reserve spot will come from Melvin Upton. Guyer underwent surgery to repair his wrist over the offseason, and has yet to resume hitting drills. However, he has been cleared to participate in throwing and fielding work. If he ends up earning the roster spot, most of Guyer's usage would likely be in a corner outfield position against left-handed pitching. Guyer disappointed last year, as he hit .236 with a .653 OPS over 70 games.

Guyer (wrist) has been cleared for all throwing and outfield work, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Guyer is progressing well from October wrist surgery, though he still hasn't been cleared to resume hitting and his status for Opening Day remains in doubt. He'll be reevaluated next week, at which point a clearer timetable will hopefully emerge. Even if Guyer were to be sidelined for the start of the season, the Indians are expecting him to be available for the majority of the campaign.

EDGE Analysis
Guyer hurt his right wrist in mid-September and eventually underwent surgery in October. While the issue may keep him sidelined to start the 2018 campaign, it doesn't sound like he'll miss too much action. He hit .236/.326/.327 in 70 games last season.

Guyer re-aggravated a wrist injury that forced him to miss six weeks earlier this season, and will be shut down for the next week, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Following a week of no baseball activities, the club will re-evaluate Guyer's condition and determine what the next step will be for the 31-year-old. There hasn't been any word on the severity of this setback, but there should be more news pertaining to Guyer's status within the next few days, if not by the end of the next week once he's been examined. The outfielder was out from mid-May until June 26 with a left wrist sprain earlier this year.
