What's Happening?
Patrick Bailey, a player for the Cleveland Guardians, will not be in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bailey, who went 0-for-3 in the first game, will be replaced by Austin Hedges, who will take
over catching duties and bat eighth in the lineup. This decision comes as part of the team's strategy to rotate players and manage their workload during the doubleheader.
