Guardians Activate Outfielder George Valera from Injured List

The Cleveland Guardians activated outfielder George Valera from the injured list on Monday. Valera's return provides a boost to the Guardians' outfield depth as they navigate the early portion of the 2026 schedule. He was reinstated alongside right-handed reliever Hunter Gaddis in a pair of roster moves aimed at bringing the team back to full strength. Valera will look to make an immediate impact in the lineup now that he has been cleared for full baseball activities by the staff.
