## Resource

Shawn Armstrong is inching back toward game shape after a calf strain, throwing innings in Triple-A rehab and aiming to return by September 23rd—just in time for the playoffs. His injury, sustained on a non-contact play, wasn’t as severe as feared, sparing his Achilles. Signed to a solid five-and-a-half-million-dollar deal, Armstrong’s return could be crucial as the Guardians push for postseason glory. Meanwhile, fellow reliever Colin Holderman is also rehabbing, adding depth to a bullpen that needs every veteran arm when the stakes rise.
