March 27, 2025 2:48 PM : The Guardians placed Means (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.
Analysis: Cleveland will hold off on sending Means to the 60-day IL for now, though he isn't expected to be ready for MLB action until the final month of the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in June. If the left-hander runs into any snags during his rehab program, Cleveland may opt to hold Means out for the entire season.
