The Guardians are promoting Nikhazy from Triple-A Columbus on Friday before they start their three games series versus the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Nikhazy didn't make the cut for the major league club after he got off to a bad spring training in which he surrendered seven earned runs across 8.2 innings of work. Through four games with Triple-A Columbus to begin the season, he's posted a 3.44 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and a 22:7 K:BB in 18.1 innings. While he has been largely used as a starter through his MiLB career, he will be used out of the pen in Cleveland. A corresponding move is yet to be announced.
