The Guardians pitching staff has gone through the ringer during this young season.
Injuries have been piling up to the point where the team is run-dry of replacements in Columbus. Even rehabbing starting pitchers are facing setbacks in their recoveries. Key arms in Shane Bieber and Trevor Stephan are now out for the season after receiving Tommy John surgery, and people are now speculating whether or not Triston McKenzie is pitching through a lingering elbow injury of his own. Gavin Williams is facing elbow discomfort of his own during rehab and, though it is likely not to be related to the UCL, he still sets his clock back at for at least another week.
