Guardians call up top prospect Cooper Ingle

The 24-year-old Ingle will finally get a look after hitting .284/.416/.551 with 12 homers in 221 plate appearances for Columbus. The move comes eight days after he homered three times and double in a game against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Ingle had only caught as a pro until recently, but he did play a fair amount of outfield at Clemson, and he’d started seven games in left for Columbus this month. The Guardians figure to use him mostly at left field and DH. He’s not a stolen base threat and he probably won’t play against lefties, limiting his fantasy upside. Still, he’s definitely worth grabbing in two-catcher leagues, and maybe worth a try in leagues that play just one.
