morning news and notes for may 14

There wasn’t a ton of bad news for the Guardians yesterday, but that’s where we must begin (there’s already an article on the game we won). Ben Lively was placed on the IL with what is being called a right flexor tendon strain.

When looking for more information about this, I came across this, showing Lively with the same injury on 6/23/2022. He returned on August 30th.

So that sucks.

The Cleveland Guardians and Milwaukee Brewers faced off in Game 2 of the 3 game series. Logan T. Allen got the start for the Guardians, looking to bring back-to-back wins to Progressive Field.

Both pitchers worked very fast. A lead off single given up by Allen to Jackson Chourio to start the game quickly became a dangerous...

Game Recap Monday, May 12, 2025

The Guardians bounced back from a two-game slide with an opening series win against the Brewers. But, in the process, they may have lost pitcher Ben Lively for at least a while.

The Guardians were still figuring out Freddy Perlata when Lively left after the third inning with what was later announced as right forearm inflammation. That's... not good. But, the bullpen stepped up and provided six shutout innings...
