Cleveland Guardians demote pitcher Zach Plesac to Triple-A.

The Cleveland Guardians have optioned struggling starter Zach Plesac to Triple-A Columbus and will activate Sam Hentges from the injured list. Plesac has a 7.59 ERA with a 1.97 WHIP, 14 strikeouts, and five walks in 21 1/3 innings this season. The move was expedited by Hentges' return and the need for a roster spot. Plesac will need to show significant improvement in Columbus to work his way back into the Guardians' rotation, which now features several young arms.

Guardians demote struggling pitcher Zach Plesac to minors.

The Cleveland Guardians have optioned struggling right-hander Zach Plesac to Triple-A Columbus. Plesac's 2023 campaign has been a disaster thus far, with opponents posting a staggering .374/.404/.576 batting line against him. With Plesac optioned out, the Guardians will seemingly go with a mostly young and inexperienced group in the rotation for the foreseeable future. It's at least possible that Plesac's stint in the minors alters his trajectory to free agency, though it'd need to be a lengthy stay in Triple-A for that to happen.
