John Means Will Throw a Bullpen Wednesday
John Means (elbow) will throw a bullpen session on Wednesday, followed by a rehab start for Triple-A Columbus on Friday, MLB.com reports. Friday's outing will be the fifth rehab start for Means, who threw four innings and 58 pitches in his previous outing on Sunday. His pitch count will bump up to 75 on Friday, after which the left-hander could rejoin Cleveland's rotation. At this time, it's unclear how Means will fit into the rotation for the Guardians, but based on his 73 career starts and 3.68 career ERA, it's fair to think he will get a spot in the rotation. Means is recovering from a left elbow UCL injury and has not been healthy since 2021, throwing only 52 1/3 innings over the past three seasons. With the Guardians currently four games back in the AL Wild Card Race, any help they can get will be accepted. Regarding fantasy value, Means is not a recommended add at this time due to his uncertainty and time missed over the last three seasons.
