DeLauter, 23, reached Triple-A this season but has not played in a regular-season game for the Guardians. He would be the first player in franchise history to make his major league debut in the postseason. Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said there was no reason not to consider DeLauter, the No. The Guardians selected DeLauter in the first round (16th overall) in the 2022 MLB Draft out of James Madison University. The minors-to-MLB playoffs jump has been made before, most recently with Twins outfielder Alex Kirilloff, Rays right-hander Shane McClanahan and Padres right-hander Ryan Weathers in 2020.
