Ben Lively News
Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Ben Lively put together a strong outing against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. It was his second outing of the season and both have come against the Red Sox. On Tuesday, Lively tossed 6 1/3 innings and allowed five hits, one run, zero walks and struck out seven on the evening. The 32-year-old has now allowed just three runs with 14 strikeouts and one walk over 11 1/3 innings. The Guardians always seem to have a pitcher factory churning and Lively could be the latest diamond in the rough for the franchise. It is still very early and both his starts have come against a injury plagued Red Sox lineup, but if Lively can toss another gem against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, he will be worth rostering in most formats.
Cleveland Guardians right-hander Ben Lively (illness) has been reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's contest in Boston against the Red Sox. The Guardians signed the 32-year-old to a one-year contract this winter after he made his big-league return with the Reds in 2023. Lively spent three seasons in the KBO before returning to North America for the 2022 season but stayed at Triple-A with the Reds that year. He worked to a 5.38 ERA across 19 outings (12 starts) for the Reds last season and has made a pair of starts with Triple-A Columbus this season, posting a 3.24 ERA across 8 1/3 innings of work.
The Cleveland Guardians signed free-agent right-hander Ben Lively to a one-year, $750,000 on Tuesday. Lively probably isn't going to be a starting rotation option to open the 2024 season in Cleveland, but he could be if the Guardians trade right-hander Shane Bieber this winter. The 31-year-old Lively returned to the big leagues in 2023 with the Cincinnati Reds for the first time since 2019, when he pitched for the Kansas City Royals. In 19 outings (12 starts) this past season for Cincinnati, he went 4-7 with a 5.38 ERA (5.35 FIP) and 1.36 WHIP with 25 walks and 79 strikeouts in 88 2/3 innings pitched. Lively will most likely end up being a swing man for the cost-cutting Guardians next season and off the fantasy radar in the majority of leagues.
