- Guardians prospect C.J. Kayfus makes debut for Cleveland, comes through in first at-bat
CLEVELAND — It's one at-bat, one RBI for C.J. Kayfus.
Kayfus, ranked as the No. 4 prospect in the Guardians system and No. 66 in baseball, made his major-league debut in the Aug. 2 game against the Minnesota Twins .
Kayfus stepped to the plate in the bottom of the second inning with runners on the corners following back-to-back singles to open the inning.
Kayfus didn't come away with a hit, as he ground out, but he did enough to get home the run to give the Guardians a 1-0 lead.
The left-handed hitting Kayfus posted a blistering 1.066 OPS with the Akron RubberDucks to quickly earn the promotion to Columbus, where he slashed .283/.367/.526 in 68 games in Triple-A.
