It's the Guardians, so I imagine they'll just inexplicably pluck another quality starting pitcher off the starting pitcher tree they have hidden underground at Progressive Field.

More realistically, they'll probably end up going to a non-roster guy like Jaime Barria or Adam Oller, and they did acquire Zak Kent to get some 40-man pitching depth as well. Tyler Beede's only been going an inning at a time but they could stretch him out. Ben Lively's working back as well and they gave him a big league deal this winter so they clearly see something they like there.

Nats placed Josiah Gray on the IL with an elbow/flexor strain. It continues.
