Chase DeLauter Scratched from Game with Lower-Body Soreness

Guardians outfielder Chase DeLauter was scratched from Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Rangers due to precautionary lower-body soreness. DeLauter, who is projected to start the season in the Cleveland outfield, is considered a dangerous hitter with significant home run potential from the left side. He demonstrated a low 15.8% strikeout rate in 42 minor-league games last year, and the team is monitoring his recovery from the heavy activity.
