Manzardo went 2-for-3 with a walk and a walk-off solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Offense was at a premium Tuesday in Cleveland, but Manzardo had a productive evening and came through in the clutch with a solo homer to break a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the ninth inning. The 24-year-old is batting just .227 through 26 games this season, but he's still showcased his power potential with eight long balls. Manzardo has provided a bit more consistency over the past 10 games, however, having gone 11-for-37 (.297 average) with two doubles and three homers.

Manzardo is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manzardo has a .936 OPS with three homers in his past eight games, but he'll take a seat Sunday even though Boston is sending a righty-hander (Brayan Bello) to the mound. Jose Ramirez is resting his legs as the designated hitter while Will Wilson receives a start at the hot corner.

Manzardo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
With a tough lefty (Carlos Rodon) on the hill for New York, the left-handed-hitting Manzardo will get the afternoon off in the series finale. Jose Ramirez will get a day out of the infield and will serve as the Guardians' designated hitter in place of Manzardo, who has gone 6-for-19 with three home runs, two doubles, two walks, seven RBI and four runs over his last five games.

Manzardo went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Manzardo was in the middle of Cleveland's three-run rally in the sixth inning that erased New York's 2-0 lead. His double plated Nolan Jones to tie the game. It was the fifth consecutive game with an RBI for Manzardo, who's homered three times and knocked in seven over that stretch. The double also extended a hit streak to six games (7-for-22).

Manzardo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Manzardo gave the Guardians a two-run lead in the seventh inning, when he took the first pitch in the at-bat from Paul Skenes deep to right field for a solo homer. It was Manzardo's fifth homer of the season, which already ties his total amount from the 2024 regular season. The 24-year-old is top-10 in the American League in both home runs and RBI (13) and 16th in slugging percentage (.500) to start the year.

Manzardo is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Manzardo is just 1-for-14 at the dish over his last five games, so he'll get a day off to regroup. Jose Ramirez is handling designated-hitter duties for the Guardians on Thursday, while Gabriel Arias plays third base and Daniel Schneemann covers second.

Manzardo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
With the Royals sending southpaw Cole Ragans to the bump, Manzardo will head to the bench for just the second time through the Guardians' first 15 games. Jose Ramirez will get a day out of the infield and will serve as Cleveland's designated hitter in place of Manzardo, who is batting .125 with a 16.7 percent walk rate and 28.6 percent strikeout rate so far in April.

Manzardo started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 6-1 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Manzardo, who was recently moved into the cleanup spot, went yard in the first inning for what proved to be the game-winning hit. It was his fourth home run through 12 games, and Manzardo's 11 RBI leads the club. He made only six starts at first base in 2024 compared to 40 at DH, denying him 1B eligibility in more restrictive fantasy formats, and Thursday's game was his third start at the position in 2025. The Guardians' desire to manage the workload of 39-year-old Carlos Santana, Cleveland's primary first baseman, should result in Manzardo gaining some extra positional flexibility later this season.
