Fry started at first base and went 1-for-1 with a walk and a double in Saturday's 8-3 loss to Kansas City.

Fry was in starting lineup for the first time since being recalled Aug. 19, slotting in at first base against a left-hander. He was eventually pinch hit for by Nathaniel Lowe against a right-handed reliever. Lowe remains the primary starter at first base, getting starts whenever the Guardians face a right-hander. Fry will remain the primary backup until Rhys Hoskins (back) comes off the injured list.

The Guardians recalled Fry from Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.

Aug 19Rotowire

With Rhys Hoskins sent to the 10-day injured list due to back inflammation, Fry will return to the big leagues after he was sent to Columbus earlier this month. Fry has slashed .182/.304/.336 with six home runs, 13 RBI, 16 runs scored and a 25:51 BB:K across 168 plate appearances in the big leagues this season.

Cleveland optioned Fry to Triple-A Columbus on Monday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Aug 3Rotowire

With the new additions of Nathaniel Lowe and Jo Adell during Monday's trade deadline, Fry will move to Columbus. On the campaign, the 30-year-old has slashed just .182/.304/.336 with six homers and 13 RBI in 168 plate appearances. Fry will join the Triple-A squad for the first time this season.

Fry entered Thursday's game as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and belted a solo home run in a 6-5 win over the White Sox.

Jul 3Rotowire

Fry homered for the second time in as many games after delivering a three-run shot in a win over the Rangers a day earlier. Thursday's homer closed the Guardians' deficit to one run, setting up Brayan Rocchio's walk-off homer in the ninth. Fry finished the game in left field after pinch hitting for rookie Cooper Ingle, who committed his second outfield error in as many games. The rookie is just 1-for-14 with seven strikeouts since his call-up, which could lead to Fry getting more opportunities in the outfield.
