Cleveland Guardians vs Minnesota Twins Starting Lineup — Wednesday, Jul 8, 2026
Final Lineups
Cleveland Guardians @ Minnesota Twins · Wednesday, Jul 8, 2026
Cleveland’s lineup has no MLB history against Connor Prielipp. David Fry, Chase DeLauter, Brayan Rocchio, Rhys Hoskins, Travis Bazzana, Gabriel Arias, Kyle Manzardo, Austin Hedges, and Kahlil Watson have not faced him in a major league plate appearance. That leaves this matchup with no established batter-versus-pitcher track record for the Guardians to lean on.
Minnesota’s lineup is in the same spot against Slade Cecconi, with no MLB history across the board. Trevor Larnach, Brooks Lee, Kody Clemens, Josh Bell, Royce Lewis, Victor Caratini, Luke Keaschall, Alan Roden, and Ryan Kreidler have not faced Cecconi in the majors. There are no prior head-to-head results here to point to for the Twins either.
Neither side brings any familiarity into this matchup, as both lineups are entirely without MLB history against the opposing starter. This is a clean slate for both offenses.
