The Kansas City Royals announced Friday night's game against the Cleveland Guardians has been postponed due to weather conditions.

Former Cleveland Guardians' Josh Naylor has reportedly been traded, with the deadline rapidly approaching.

Friday: The Guardians open a three-game series against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. It will be RHP Gavin Williams (6-4, 3.54) vs. RHP Michael Wacha (4-9. 3.62) at 8:10 p.m. Apple TV+, WTAM 1100, WMMS 100.7 FM and the Guardians radio network will carry the game.

Here are the three best fits for Emmanuel Clase, should the Cleveland Guardians entertain trade offers for the star closer.

The Cleveland Guardians do not sound eager to change their nickname back to the "Indians" after President Donald Trump called for the franchise to go back to its previous moniker in a social media post over the weekend. Trump also called for the NFL's Washington Commanders to go back to the "Redskins" team name.

Baltimore’s Ryan O’Hearn, with two out in the third, sent a grounder to third baseman Jose Ramirez. Santana tried to scoop Ramirez’s throw, but it hit his glove and fell out. Former Guardian Ramon Laureano, the next batter, added an extra sting to the error by homering off Tanner Bibee for a 5-3 lead.

The Guardians and Royals will play a doubleheader today at 2:40PM and 7:15PM EDT, after yesterday's rainout.
