Brayan Rocchio singled in Andrés Giménez with the winning run as the AL Central-leading Cleveland Guardians scored three times in the 10th inning to beat the Minnesota Twins 5-4 on Wednesday night, reducing their magic number for clinching a playoff berth to one.

9/07/24 Cleveland Guardians Rookie Reversing His Season Narrative. Who would play shortstop for Cleveland Guardians was a hot topic coming out of spring training. There seemed to be an open competition between Brayan Rocchio and Gabriel Arias for the position, with Rocchio eventually being named the team's everyday left-side middle infielder. Arias was eventually optioned to Triple-A, but Stephen Vogt continued to use Rocchio as his everyday shortstop, sprinkling in Daniel Schneemann and Tyler Freeman at times there, too.

7/12/24 Angel Martinez's Emergence Could Alter Guardians' Trade Deadline Plans. The Cleveland Guardians have been waiting for one of their young middle infielders to break out since the second half of 2023. Brayan Rocchio has shown promise on defense, Gabriel Arias had opportunities but was just optioned to Triple-A, and Tyler Freeman has successfully made the transition to the outfield. With no one running away with the shortstop job, Cleveland has reportedly been seeking an upgrade at the position ahead of the trade deadline.

6/12/24 Brayan Rocchio's Plate Discipline Continues To Improve, Guardians Breakdown. Brayan Rocchio won the everyday shortstop role coming out of spring training. Rocchio's full-season stats have been underwhelming for a player who was one of Cleveland Guardians's top prospects for so many years. Over Rocchio's last seven games, he has a slash line of .313/.353/.500 and his strong OBP goes back to the last 30 games where it's been at .314. Rocchio's first plate appearance against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday was a perfect example of his improved plate discipline as he worked a 10-pitch at-bat that ended in a walk.

5/30/24 This Prospect Might Be Guardians Best Option At Shortstop Right Now. One of the main storylines of spring training was determining who would be the Cleveland Guardians starting shortstop. Brayan Rocchio and Gabriel Arias were the two contenders for the position with Rocchio ultimately getting the majority of the time there throughout the first two months of the season. Luckily for the Guardians, they have a plethora of middle infielders in their farm system and one is starting to make the case to get a big-league opportunity soon.

5/20/24 Booed by Mets fans, loyal Guardians give Francisco Lindor warm welcome. Guardians shortstop Brayan Rocchio, at .213, has a batting average 16 points higher than that of the New York Mets shortstop.

Lindor went on to play four more seasons with the Tribe.

5/10/24 Even in defeat, there is still power in the long ball: Guardians breakfast. The Guardians had done nothing offensively for seven innings Thursday night in a 3-2 loss to the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field. It looked like they'd do nothing again when Brayan Rocchio and Andres Gimenez went down quietly to start the eighth. Then Jose Ramirez, who has hit the ball hard through the first 38 games of the season with little to show for it, golfed a 1-2 from John Brebbia over the fence in right center field. Josh Naylor, the next batter, hit another 1-2 pitch over wall in center field. The White Sox's 3-0 lead was down to 3-2.

3/10/24 Prospect News: Spring Wins Vol 2: Angel’s Got Your Six. It’s tricky business reacting to spring training outcomes. Veterans are working on their game, treating reps like practice, while youngsters and journeymen are striving to make a good impression. That doesn’t negate all the outcomes, of course, but I feel a little silly reading sentences about how a player looks based on a week of half-games, and I feel even sillier writing them. Nonetheless, playing time is up for grabs, and small samples or not, guys are proving themselves worthy (or unworthy) of season-opening opportunities, so we can’t just play ostrich and ignore the new realities revealing themselves.  If you’ve been around a while, you know I’m not crazy about Brayan Rocchio. SS Angel Martinez is my preferred pick among Cleveland’s options at shortstop, and he’s in a heavenly rhythm right now, batting .529 with two homers and a triple. Rocchio is hitting .118. Both players have 19 plate appearances. Would be a pretty big upset in the echo chamber if Martinez claims the gig, but I doubt the Guardians see it that way. Here’s a link to a story by Jesus Cano on mlb.com that details the changes Martinez made heading into 2024.
