The Cleveland Guardians have placed outfielder/first baseman Josh Naylor on the COVID IL. This follows seven members of the coaching staff entered health and safety protocols Thursday.

Josh Naylor was finding his stride prior to this development, making MLB late-game history not long ago. Richie Palacios has been recalled to fill an outfield spot (if needed) while the Guardians are without Naylor.

Yu Chang is also back with the club following his time on the COVID list. Kirk McCarty has also been optioned to Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move.

The Cleveland Guardians are bringing an outfielder back into the mix as they have recalled Richie Palacios from the Columbus Clippers.

Richie Palacios has appeared in nine games for the Guardians this season with seven hits (one double) and two RBI with a very small sample size slash line of .259/.310/.296. In Triple-A Palacios is slashing .257/.366/.414 with six doubles, one triple, and one home run in 17 games.

Browns sign 12 undrafted free agents

It is that time of year, the time when teams sign undrafted free agents. The Cleveland Browns have signed 12 undrafted free agents

Depth at the wide receiver position was an issue for the Browns last season and they are doing everything they can to prevent that from repeating itself in 2022. Cleveland selected David Bell and Mike Woods in the draft and have signed three undrafted free agents in Mike Harley Jr., Travell Harris, and Isaiah Weston. Cleveland should be able to figure their receiver room out prior to this season with all of these additions joining the likes of Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones, and Anthony Schwartz.

Cleveland also addressed their interior defensive line by signing Glen Logan and Roderick Perry II. Defensive tackle play for the Browns last season was a complete disaster. Adding more bodies to the group of unknown quantities should at some point result in something resembling an adequate defensive tackle group.
