Gaddis (forearm) threw off a mound Thursday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The session was a low-intensity mound workout that emphasized mechanics over velocity. It's typically an intermediary step between flat-ground throwing and a full bullpen, helping a pitcher transition back toward facing live hitters. As yet, Gaddis' availability for Opening Day remains uncertain.

Gaddis underwent an MRI due to mild forearm tightness, which came back negative, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gaddis made his spring training debut this past Friday but came out of the appearance with an arm issue. He's been cleared of structural damage and will be reevaluated Thursday to determine his readiness to resume a throwing program. If healthy, Gaddis will be used in a setup role for the Guardians this season ahead of closer Cade Smith.

Gaddis earned the save in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Tigers, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

After Cade Smith had pitched back-to-back days, Gaddis got the call in the ninth inning Thursday. The right-hander worked around a leadoff single to close out a two-run victory, picking up his third save this season. Gaddis has turned in seven straight scoreless innings, allowing just four hits in that span. His ERA sits at 3.11 through 63.2 innings this season with a 1.18 WHIP and 65:21 K:BB.

Gaddis recorded the final out of Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Mets to record his second save of the season.

EDGE Analysis

Gavin Williams took a no-hitter into the ninth inning, only for Juan Soto to spoil it with a solo shot. After Williams then walked a batter with two outs, Gaddis got the call to close things out. Cade Smith was unavailable after having pitched the prior two days and remains the favorite for saves in the Guardians' bullpen, but Gaddis appears to be the next man up for ninth-inning duty. Since the beginning of July, Gaddis has delivered a 2.94 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB in 15.1 innings while collecting a win, two saves and five holds over 16 appearances.

Gaddis allowed a hit and struck out three in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Cade Smith had a 23-pitch outing Friday, so Gaddis got the save opportunity in this contest. He did well, throwing 10 of 15 pitches for strikes to convert his first save of 2025. Primarily a setup man in the first half, Gaddis now has a chance to be part of a closing committee after Emmanuel Clase was placed on non-disciplinary paid leave as part of MLB's sports-betting investigation. Gaddis has taken a step back this season, posting a 3.30 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 54:16 K:BB with 22 holds and three blown saves over 46.1 innings, but he's still been good enough to maintain high-leverage usage throughout 2025.

Gaddis experienced a cramp during Friday's outing but stayed in the game, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gaddis was checked out by the staff and remained in the game, picking up a hold along the way. He said there was some soreness Saturday but indicated he was feeling better. With the All-Star break coming up, Gaddis looks like he'll be ready to go when the schedule resumes.

The Guardians reinstated Gaddis (personal) from the bereavement list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander stepped away from the team for a few days for personal reasons but is back on the active roster ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Dodgers. Gaddis has been a key bullpen piece for Cleveland this season with 13 holds and a 0.86 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 29:8 K:BB across 21 innings.

The Guardians placed Gaddis (personal) on the bereavement list Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gaddis will be away from the team while attending to a personal matter, and he'll be required to miss at least three games while on the bereavement list. The 27-year-old is off to a terrific start this season with a 0.86 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 29:8 K:BB across 21 innings. Nic Enright was recalled from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move to bolster the Guardians' bullpen depth in Gaddis' absence.

Gaddis struck out one over a scoreless two-thirds of an inning to earn a hold in Saturday's 3-0 win over Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Gaddis has been a rock in the Guardians' bullpen, allowing four hits and three walks while striking out 11 over 7.2 scoreless innings. Saturday's hold was his sixth in nine appearances. The right-hander has picked up where he left off in 2024, when he logged a 1.57 ERA and 34 holds.

Gaddis (6-3) allowed a run on three hits over one inning to earn the win over the Reds on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gaddis allowed the tying run in the top of the eighth inning, but the Guardians responded with a three-run home run by Jose Ramirez. Gaddis was charged with a blown save, his first since April 30 and his fifth of the year, but he was also able to pick up his second win in a week. The right-hander has been an excellent setup man in his first full major-league campaign, posting a 1.59 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 65:14 K:BB across 73.2 innings while adding 34 holds.
