David Fry

It was his eighth homer of 2025 and first slam since 2022. David Fry's return has taken a big toll on Kyle Manzardo's playing time, but it doesn't seem like it'll have much effect on Santana, who has started 61 of the Guardians 67 games. He's batting .251/.350/.388 in 257 plate appearances.

With David Fry back in the fold, he's the one starting as the designated hitter against left-hander Max Fried on Thursday evening, which leaves only one spot for Manzardo and Carlos Santana. It's Santana starting at first base and batting fifth for the Guardians with Manzardo getting a night off. On the season, he's slashing a meager .211/.300/.443 with 11 homers and 29 RBI.
