Brennan (elbow) was non-tendered by the Guardians on Friday, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brennan had an injury-plagued 2025 season, managing only a total of 159 plate appearances between both Triple-A and the majors. He's rehabbing from Tommy John surgery but has a chance to be ready for the start of spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Brennan is still rehabbing from Tommy John surgery but felt some nagging discomfort in his groin while doing sprinting and agility drills. He remains on track to be ready for the start of spring training next year.

The Guardians transferred Brennan (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder has already been ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to repair the UCL in his left elbow, so the move to the 60-day IL was an inevitability. The recovery period from Tommy John surgery is shorter for position players, so Brennan won't necessarily be sidelined for the start of 2026.

Brennan underwent a full repair of the UCL in his left elbow Monday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brennan had sought multiple opinion on the injury and in the end was unable to avoid surgery. The recovery from a UCL is much shorter for position players, but the operation still figures to knock Brennan out for the remainder of the 2025 season.

Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Saturday that Brennan will get a second opinion on his left forearm next week, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brennan landed on the 10-day injured list May 22 due to left forearm inflammation. He'll visit Dr. Keith Meister next week, which indicates that Brennan's injury is more severe than initially thought. Brennan was recalled by the Guardians from Triple-A Columbus on May 12 and went 1-for-11 in six major-league outings prior to his injury.

The Guardians placed Brennan on the 10-day injured list Thursday with left forearm inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Brennan will be eligible to return from the IL on May 30, although it's not clear whether he has a chance for activation on that date. He's picked up just on hit in 11 at-bats since being recalled from Triple-A Columbus in mid-May.

Brennan started in right field and went 0-for-3 in Friday's 5-4 loss to Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

Brennan was called up earlier in the week and has started three of four games. Unfortunately for the lefty-hitting outfielder, he's gone hitless in nine plate appearances. Brennan's playing time has come at the expense of Angel Martinez.

Brennan is starting in right field and batting eighth in Tuesday's game versus the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Brennan has now started two straight contests in right field after being recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Monday. Angel Martinez sat at Brennan's expense Monday, and on Tuesday it will be Nolan Jones on the bench.

The Guardians recalled Brennan from Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Brennan spent nearly all of the previous two seasons in the majors, but this is his first promotion in 2025 from Columbus, where he's slashed .304/.340/.419 with three homers in 35 games this season. Cleveland has received very little production from Nolan Jones and Jhonkensy Noel in right field, so it's possible Brennan will get some run at that position. Brennan is starting in right field and batting ninth Monday versus the Brewers. However, with a career .270/.308/.377 batting line at the big-league level, Brennan is hardly a good bet to produce if he does get an opportunity.
