John Means Gets Hit Around in Latest Rehab Start
John Means (elbow) didn't fare too well in his fifth minor-league rehab start on Sunday with Triple-A Columbus, giving up five earned runs on six hits while waking two and striking out three in 4 1/3 innings of work. He threw 46 of his 72 pitches for strikes in the outing. Means had his fifth rehab start pushed back from Friday to Sunday because of an illness, and perhaps he still wasn't feeling all that great. The good news is that the 32-year-old southpaw was extended out to 72 pitches. However, it's expected that he'll need at least one more rehab start before the Guardians consider activating him for what will be his 2025 debut in the big leagues. Given the time of year, fantasy managers will not be able to consider Means a realistic option when he makes his debut with Cleveland, and he won't even be guaranteed a starting role.
