In the aftermath of José Ramírez, Chase DeLauter and Angel Martínez going on the injured list over the past week, the Guardians have continued to preach that the last thing they want is anyone trying to do too much. One guy alone can’t make up for the loss of three. “We’ve just got to play hard, trust in one another, play for the next guy,” second baseman Travis Bazzana said. “It's not trying to do too much, but step up and know that we've got to find ways to win ballgames when you’ve got guys out.” Of course, Bazzana is one of the guys whom Cleveland is counting on to step up. For the Guardians to keep pushing in the right direction in the coming weeks, he’s going to have to play a vital role offensively. If Saturday was any indication, Bazzana appears to be more than up to the task. Bazzana went 4-for-4 with two home runs and five RBIs on Saturday, all of which are new career highs, to lead the Guardians to an 8-1 win over the Astros at Daikin Park. The 23-year-old became the first Cleveland player to tally four hits and five RBIs in a game since Josh Naylor on May 31, 2023, against the Orioles. “That was a really fun day for Bazz,” Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said. It also continued a nice stretch for Bazzana after he opened June in a bit of a rut offensively. He has made a good impression this season. But like any rookie, the league started to adjust back to him, and his production went down along the way. Bazzana’s average (.308) and OPS (.876) reached a season high on May 30, when he went 2-for-4 in a [9-1 loss
