Tonight, the Cleveland Guardians are scheduled to play a 2024 MLB Spring Breakout game against the Cincinnati Reds.

Many of Cleveland’s top prospects will be playing in the team’s only game during the inaugural prospect showcase.

Here is the Guardians’ starting lineup for tonight, which is subject to change.

1. Petey Halpin, CF

2. Chase DeLauter, RF

3. Kyle Manzardo, 1B

4. Jhonkensy Noel, DH

5. Juan Brito, 3B

6. Jaison Chourio, LF

7. Cooper Ingle, C

8. José Devers, SS

9. Jake Fox, 2B

The team's starting pitcher is still yet to be determined.

Cleveland’s starting lineup features eight of the team’s top-30 prospects according to MLB Pipeline in: DeLauter (No. 1/31 overall), Manzardo (No. 2/59 overall), Chourio (No. 6), Brito (No. 7), Halpin (No. 17), Fox (No. 20), Devers (No. 21), and Noel (No. 29).

Ingle is the lineup’s lone 2023 draft pick, as the fourth-rounder hit .288 with 10 RBI and a .464 on-base percentage in his first 17 professional games with High-A Lake County last season.

While the Guardians’ initial roster for the showcase was revealed nine days ago, some changes were announced this past Wednesday.

Baseball America’s 28th-ranked Cleveland prospect Justin Campbell will reportedly undergo Tommy John Surgery on his pitching elbow, and will not be available for the game. 

The 37th overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft also missed all of last season, and has yet to make his professional debut.

The Guardians’ 2024 MLB Spring Breakout Game against the Reds is scheduled to begin tonight at 7:05 p.m. EST. Fans can watch the contest on MLB.TV, MLB.com, and the MLB App, or listen on cleguardians.com.
