Now, Cleveland’s No. 12 prospect ( according to MLB Pipeline) is set to make his MLB debut today in the series finale vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Messick joins the starting rotation in place of Joey Cantillo, who was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

The Guardians designated veteran right-handed reliever Carlos Hernández for assignment prior to Wednesday’s series finale against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field. In a corresponding move, Cleveland selected the contract of left-hander Parker Messick from Triple-A Columbus.

PHOENIZ, Arizona (WKBN) – The Cleveland Guardians are promoting pitcher Parker Messick to the Major League roster. The left-hander will make his Major League debut in Wednesday’s series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks at 3:40 p.m. ET.

The two-run shot in the eighth inning against Texas on Tuesday night merely padded the lead for Kansas City, which went on to a 5-2 victory. It was the fifth straight win for the Royals, who closed to within 2 1/2 games of an AL wild-card berth and are within nine games of the first-place Tigers in the AL Central.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. drove in three runs, Jake McCarthy hit a solo homer and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Cleveland Guardians 6-5.

Enright and Erik Sabrowski, a couple of resilient rookies, have rescued the group. The Guardians’ bullpen ranks fourth in the league in ERA and is a driving force behind the club’s midsummer resurgence.

The Cleveland Guardians have a handful of decisions to make following this season, and it may mean getting rid of key pieces.
