Schneemann got his first start of the playoffs in Game 3 and went 0-for-4.

The lineup: LF Steven Kwan, DH Kyle Manzardo, 3B Jose Ramirez, 1B Josh Naylor, CF Lane Thomas, RF Daniel Schneemann, 2B Andres Gimenez, C Austin Hedges, SS Brayan Rocchio.

The Guardians are also going with Austin Hedges over Bo Naylor behind the plate. The lineup: LF Steven Kwan, DH Kyle Manzardo, 3B ose Ramirez, 1B Josh Naylor, CF Lane Thomas, RF Schneemann, 2B Andres Gimenez, C Austin Hedges and SS Brayan Rocchio.
