For the second time in 2026, the Guardians have released right-hander Pedro Avila, who previously signed a minor league deal with Cleveland after failing to make the Opening Day roster. Avila, 29, has had a mixed career, posting a 3.59 ERA over 133 innings in 2023-24, but struggled in 2026 with a 7.50 ERA in Triple-A Columbus. His performance in Japan was better, with a 4.04 ERA, indicating potential for future teams. He is now a free agent, possibly returning to the Guardians on a new minor league contract.
