Guardians shake up bullpen with McKenzie DFA and Kent debut
Cleveland designated Tristan McKenzie for assignment after a brief bullpen run and 11.12 ERA, promoting Zak Kent from Triple-A Columbus to join a reshaped relief corps. Lane Thomas sits with a right wrist contusion while Emmanuel Clase remains the closer as Steven Kwan heats up at the plate. The Guardians prepare for a Yankees series, seeking length from Kent and resilience from a staff seeking steadier innings and bullpen balance.

Cade Smith closed with a four-pitch save over Aaron Judge, preserving the win. Rocchio left with a finger injury after bunting in the eighth.
