The Cleveland Guardians are continuing to stay in the playoff picture as a new month of the MLB season started this weekend.
With a record of 55-54, the Guardians have won three in a row, getting back on a winning track and are above the .500 mark once again.
While they continue to pursue a chance at the postseason, the Guardians are still eight games behind the Detroit Tigers for the lead in the AL Central division, but they are just three games behind the Seattle Mariners for the last playoff spot in a tight-knit AL Wild Card race.
Before the Guardians look to continue their winning streak on Saturday, they were able to announce that their No. 4 prospect in their farm system, CJ Kayfus, has been selected from Triple-A Columbus and is set to make his major league debut against the Minnesota Twins.

Kayfus, a 23-year-old left-handed bat, was drafted by the Guardians with a third-round pick in 2023 out of the University of Miami. He can play at both first base and the outfield.
CJ Kayfus was promoted from Double-A Akron to Triple-A Columbus during the 2025 season, and his success has carried over. Through 68 games with the Clippers, he's batting .283 with a .367 on-base percentage, a .893 OPS, 13 home runs, and 43 RBI.
The Guardians will have Kayfus playing in right field and batting eighth in their game against the Twins, giving Daniel Schneemann and Nolan Jones a game to rest over the weekend.
