Kyle Manzardo Fantasy Stats

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Kyle Manzardo (personal) has been reinstated from the family medical emergency list on Thursday. Manzardo missed the last three games while tending to a personal matter. He'll slide right back into the lineup as he bats cleanup and plays first base against right-hander Jonathan Cannon on Thursday. He hasn't been great this season with a .217/.289/.429 slash line with 13 home runs and 33 RBI this season with the Guardians. Manzardo is really only worth a look in deep leagues at the moment. In a corresponding move, Jhonkensy Noel has been optioned to Triple-A with Manzardo returning.

The Cleveland Guardians placed first baseman Kyle Manzardo (family emergency) on the family medical emergency list Monday and recalled outfielder Jhonkensy Noel from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for further updates as to when Manzardo may be able to rejoin the team. Noel has struggled in his time with the Guardians this season, but he has slashed an impressive .280/.343/.538 in his time at Triple-A. There is not much action to take from this news from a fantasy perspective, although managers may want to see if Noel can make a better impression this time around in the big leagues.

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Kyle Manzardo homered again on Monday, continuing his hot stretch in a 6-4 win over the New York Yankees. Manzardo finished the day 1-for-3 with a walk, a run, and an RBI. After a strong start to the season, the 24-year-old had been slumping hard heading into this past weekend. Things have turned around, though, as he now has three homers and five RBI in his past three games. He's up to seven homers and 17 RBI on the season to go along with a solid .909 OPS. Manzardo has been dropped in many leagues and could be worth a pickup if power is a need.

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Kyle Manzardo went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI in Sunday's 5-4 extra-inning win against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 24-year-old started at first base for the fourth time this season, hit his sixth long ball, and drove in his 16th run. On the season, he is now slashing .212/.321/.545. The power and slugging numbers are certainly there for Manzardo, but the average is falling close to the Mendoza Line, so fantasy managers hope to see more consistency from him down the stretch. The four starts at first base will undoubtedly help his eligibility in fantasy baseball and provide managers who roster him more flexibility with their lineup once he reaches the threshold of 10 starts at first base. Next for the Guardians is a three-game series against the New York Yankees.

Cleveland Guardians first baseman/designated hitter Kyle Manzardo will take a seat for Sunday's series finale against the division-rival Kansas City Royals at Progressive Field with a left-hander on the mound. Jose Ramirez will serve as the DH on Sunday and will hit second, while Daniel Schneemann gets the start at third base and hits seventh against Royals southpaw Cole Ragans. It's a good day to give Manzardo a break after his cold start to the season. The 24-year-old has gone 9-for-45 (.200) with four home runs, a double, triple, 11 RBI, 10 walks and 14 strikeouts in his first 14 games played. The power has been nice, but Manzardo has struck out at a 28.6% clip in the early going. J-Ram is always a must-start in fantasy when he's in the lineup, but Schneemann will be a low-upside DFS option on Sunday. He has never faced Ragans in his career.

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Kyle Manzardo went 1-for-4 in Thursday's victory over the White Sox, and his one hit was a two-run blast to right field in the first inning. The home run turned an early 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead for Cleveland, who cruised to a 6-1 victory over Chicago, who has lost eight straight. Manzardo's home run gave him a total of 11 RBI in his first 12 games this season, and the 24-year-old lefty is hitting .225 (9-for-40) with six extra-base hits, a .375 ISO, and a .385 wOBA. The Guardians got back to .500 with the win, as they welcome in the Royals on Friday night to continue their current homestand.

Cleveland Guardians designated hitter Kyle Manzardo ripped a two-run blast off of Sam Long in the fifth inning, which proved to be the game-winning hit for the Guardians on Sunday. Manzardo enjoyed an impressive series against the Kansas City Rotays, going 5-for-11 with a pair of long balls, three walks, four extra base hits, three runs scored, and six RBI. With Jose Ramirez (wrist) sitting out on Sunday, Manzardo occupied the three-spot in the lineup, batting behind Steven Kwan and Lane Thomas, who each got on base five times in the contest. Manzardo is making a case to stick around at the top of the order and has become one of the hottest waiver-wire pickups after Opening Weekend. Fantasy managers looking for production at their utility spot or some power in their lineup will want to pick him up before someone else does.

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Kyle Manzardo carried the offense on Thursday, going 3-for-4 with a homer, a triple, and a double. This was an extremely encouraging start for the former top prospect, who possesses massive raw power but looked overpowered by his first taste of major league pitching in 2024. He did hit all five of his home runs last season in September, and it certainly looks like he's carrying that momentum straight into 2025. He is in line for everyday playing time at DH in the heart of the Guardians' lineup and has the potential to be a must-start fantasy player if everything breaks right.

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Kyle Manzardo (shoulder) was scratched from Friday's Cactus League game against the San Francisco Giants due to left-shoulder inflammation. For now, we'll consider Manzardo to be day-to-day, but with Opening Day less than a week away, fantasy managers in deeper leagues should prepare for the possibility that the 24-year-old left-handed hitter may be forced to open the 2025 season on the injured list. We should have a better idea about his availability for the start of the regular season by the end of the weekend. The former second-round pick by the Tampa Bay Rays in 2021 out of Washington State made his big-league debut in Cleveland last year and hit .234 with five home runs, 15 RBI and 41 K's in 53 games, but he looked better to close out the year and in the playoffs, and he should be a lineup regular as the DH in 2025. Manzardo has 20-25-homer upside.

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Kyle Manzardo has been performing very well in spring training. Through 14 contests, Manzardo has posted an impressive .368/.415/.658 slash line with two doubles and three home runs. He has held a 2:10 BB:K and added seven RBI. The 24-year-old made his MLB debut last summer but posted a modest .234/.282/.421 line across 53 contests. He only went deep five times during this stretch and added 12 doubles. The Guardians typically deployed Manzardo on the strong side of a platoon. Earlier in the campaign, Manzardo held a .267/.393/.548 line with 20 doubles and 20 home runs through 83 contests at the Triple-A level. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but given his play in camp, he will likely open the season as the primary designated hitter against right-handed bats. Fantasy managers looking for a late-round power target should take a flier on Manzardo as he could eventually earn a full-time if he continues to develop.
