The Guardians optioned Rocchio to Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jose Ramirez returning from the bereavement list Friday, Rocchio will return to Triple-A to continue his development. The switch-hitting prospect went 2-for-10 at the plate in his first three major-league games and collected his first career RBI on Thursday. If he continues his .338/.396/.486 pace in Columbus, it's very possible Rocchio finds himself back in Cleveland before the end of the year.
