Chase DeLauter to Visit Hand Specialist this Week
Chase DeLauter is expected to visit a hand specialist early in the coming week. The former first-round draft pick has been out of action since July 11 with a wrist injury, and the fact he's meeting with a specialist doesn't bode well for a quick return, although details have been scarce as to what is ailing the left-handed slugger other than he was dealing with soreness. The Guardians' second-ranked prospect missed time over the last couple of seasons due to foot injuries and missed the start of 2025 after he underwent sports hernia surgery, so this has become a problematic trend for the 23-year-old. He was having a good season at Triple-A in his limited sample, slashing .278/.383/.476 with five home runs in 34 games, and looked like he was on the precipice of a major league debut, but those hopes could fade drastically depending on what comes of the upcoming visit with the specialist. We should have more clarity later in the week.
