Nathaniel Lowe is playing for his sixth MLB team and the fourth since August 2025. Here's why landing with the Cleveland Guardians has given him joy.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — One win. That’s all the Guardians needed heading into Thursday’s series finale at Fenway Park to punch their ticket to the postseason. With a magic number of one to clinch a playoff berth and four games remaining,

Just when the Guardians needed him most, Brayan Rocchio has delivered. Down to his last strike in a crucial game, Rocchio drove in two runs with a single to left field and walked off the game. That wasn't Rocchio's only bright spot in September.

A delicate balance required

The Guardians plan to use Daniel Espino as an opener ahead of Joey Cantillo for a must-win game in Boston, despite Cantillo's 10 scoreless innings in his last two outings.

The Cleveland Guardians haven't quite walked through the door to the playoffs yet, but they're just about there.

Sonny Gray pitched six innings to tie Philadelphia’s Cristopher Sánchez for the major league lead with his 18th victory, Andruw Monasterio drove in the only run with a sixth-inning single, and the Boston Red Sox edged Cleveland 1-0 on Wednesday night to snap the Guardians’ six-game winning streak.
