## Resource

When injuries hit the Cleveland Guardians hard, they made a surprising move: designating 25-year-old outfielder George Valera for assignment. Once seen as a promising prospect who debuted last season and hit well in the minors, Valera’s momentum stalled after a calf injury sidelined him during spring training. Despite a brief MLB stint, his return didn’t pan out, and he was sent back to Triple-A. Labeled a “failed prospect” by some, Valera cleared waivers and is no longer on the 40-man roster — but he’s still with the organization, giving him a chance to rebuild while the Guardians keep a valuable asset without using a roster spot.
