The Cleveland Guardians were ranked as one of MLB's top farm systems, according to MLB.com. They come in at No. 5.

The four Guardians prospects who rank in MLB.com’s top-100 list include Travis Bazzana (No. 15), Chase DeLauter (No. 56), Angel Genao (No. 57), and CJ Kayfus (No. 59).

All-Star third baseman Jose Ramirez is the best player on the Cleveland Guardians, but Austin Hedges might be the most important person in the clubhouse.

The left-hander most recently pitched on Friday night against the Braves, allowing one earned run and five hits over 5.0 innings of work. Cantillo now has a 3.93 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP on the season in his time split as a reliever and as a starter throughout the season.
