Travis Bazzana Holding his Own, Worth a Look on the Waiver Wire

Cleveland Guardians rookie second baseman Travis Bazzana debuted to plenty of fanfare on April 28 after the Guards took the Australian infielder first overall in 2024 out of Oregon State, and the highly-regarded prospect has quickly made his mark in the majors.

Athletics right-hander Luis Severino had a get-right matchup on tap on Thursday night against the floundering last-place Los Angeles Angels, and he took advantage of it.
