Cantillo was returned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday after serving as the 27th man in Friday's doubleheader versus the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Cantillo allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 5.2 innings, but he took his second loss in three major-league starts. With Matthew Boyd (elbow) nearing a return from the injured list, Cantillo has no obvious path to a rotation spot for the Guardians unless another injury arises.

Cantillo (0-2) took the loss in the opening game of Friday's doubleheader with the Twins, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Cantillo allowed a run in the first inning before Minnesota added a pair of solo homers in the second and fourth. The 24-year-old Cantillo has allowed three runs in each of his three starts in the majors this year, posting a 6.23 ERA with a 1.62 WHIP and nine strikeouts over 13 innings. The left-hander figures to return to Triple-A following Friday's outing, where he has a 2.79 ERA in seven starts.

The Guardians recalled Cantillo from Triple-A Columbus to start the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander will serve as the 27th man for the twin bill, so he's likely to return to Columbus after the spot start. Cantillo recently made the first two major-league starts of his career and allowed six runs with a 7:3 K:BB across 7.1 innings.

The Guardians optioned Cantillo to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander surrendered three runs over four innings during his start Saturday against the Orioles, and he'll head to Triple-A in favor of bullpen depth. Cantillo should be a candidate to rejoin the Guardians for Thursday's doubleheader in Minnesota.

Cantillo took the loss against Baltimore on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks while striking out four batters over four-plus innings.
EDGE Analysis
Cantillo got through three scoreless frames before the Orioles touched him up for two runs in the fourth. The southpaw returned for the fifth inning but was pulled after giving up a leadoff double to Jackson Holliday, and he moved into position for the loss when Holliday scored following the hurler's departure. Cantillo did show some positives in notching 10 whiffs and issuing zero walks while recording four punchouts, but he's now given up six earned runs through his first 7.1 big-league innings.

Cantillo will start Saturday versus the Orioles in place of the injured Tanner Bibee (shoulder), Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bibee is having his start pushed back a few days as he battles some shoulder tightness. Cantillo yielded three earned over 3.1 innings this past Sunday against the Phillies in his major-league debut. The Guardians have a doubleheader next Friday in Minnesota, and Cantillo will be a candidate to get another start that day.

Cantillo escaped with a no-decision in Sunday's win against the Phillies, allowing three earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three in 3.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Called up Sunday to make his MLB debut, Cantillo struggled against a potent Phillies offense. Kyle Schwarber took Cantillo deep two times -- a leadoff home run in the opening frame and a two-run shot in the third. The 24-year-old southpaw struggled with his command, walking three batters while using 75 pitches to get through 3.1 innings. If Cantillo remains in the Guardians rotation, he lines up to face the Orioles next weekend, which will be another tough test for the rookie.

The Guardians called up Cantillo from Triple-A Columbus to start Sunday's game against the Phillies, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old missed the start of the Triple-A season due to a hamstring strain, but he's been effective since coming off the injured list in early June with a 2.79 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 39:19 K:BB over 29 innings. If he delivers a strong debut, Cantillo could receive multiple turns through the rotation for Cleveland.

Cantillo is expected to be called up from Triple-A Columbus to start Sunday's game against the Phillies, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cantillo has joined the Guardians in Philadelphia, but his move to the active roster has yet to be confirmed. The 24-year-old owns a 2.79 ERA in 29.0 innings for Columbus but will face a stout Phillies lineup for his MLB debut. The left-hander boasted 12.1 K/9 at Triple-A this season.

Triple-A Columbus reinstated Cantillo (hamstring) from its 7-day injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Cantillo is ready to make his season debut for Columbus after he had been sidelined for more than two months to begin the campaign due to a left hamstring strain. He made just one rehab start in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League prior to being activated, so Cantillo could face some limitations with his workload in his initial outings with Columbus.
