Chase DeLauter Returns to Guardians Lineup With Fifth Home Run

Breakout rookie Chase DeLauter has returned to the Guardians' lineup following a foot injury, batting second as the designated hitter in Friday's win over the Cubs. DeLauter, who earned the first AL Player of the Week award of the season, hit his fifth home run in just his seventh career regular-season game. Observers note that his historic start suggests he is only scratching the surface of his potential as he continues to lift the Cleveland offense.
