No. 2 prospect DeLauter joins taxi squad ahead of Game 1
CLEVELAND — Chase DeLauter sat in the home dugout at Progressive Field on Monday afternoon, wearing a red T-shirt adorned with the Guardians’ script. Printed underneath were the words “BUILT FOR FALL.”
It’s perhaps a fitting analogy for DeLauter (the Guardians’ No. 2 prospect and No. 54 overall, according to MLB Pipeline), who suddenly appears to be a candidate to join Cleveland’s roster for the American League Wild Card Series — which would position him to make his big league debut in the postseason.
At the very least, DeLauter appears very much under consideration, certainly given that the Guardians announced he is part of their taxi squad for the series. It was a surprising development on Monday, when Cleveland went through a team workout ahead of Tuesday’s series opener.
Guardians’ unexpected journey to postseason may open door for Chase DeLauter
CLEVELAND, Ohio — In the middle of last week, Chris Antonetti, president of baseball operations, hinted that the Guardians might have plans for outfielder Chase DeLauter if they were able to make the postseason.
When asked if that meant the talented, but oft-injured DeLauter could be added to the postseason roster, Antonetti tapped the brakes as if to say, “Let’s wait to see if we get to the postseason first.”

Could Guardians prospect Chase DeLauter debut in October? Here’s what to expect
CLEVELAND — In the corner of the home clubhouse sat a fresh-faced, long-haired wannabe rookie with zero days of major-league service time in front of a locker stall that housed a red jersey with his name and the No. 34.
For three years, Chase DeLauter has rated as one of the Cleveland Guardians’ top prospects, but injuries have stalled his ascent to the big leagues. The story of his hitting prowess has become more legend than nonfiction.
With one bold choice at a momentous time, that could change. The Guardians are strongly considering adding DeLauter to their AL Wild Card Series roster.
