## Resource

Ben Lively’s comeback is heating up—throwing 95 mph again after Tommy John surgery, he’s on track for a major return with the Guardians. Manager Stephen Vogt sees him as a cornerstone for the next seven years, with his improved velocity and solid pre-surgery stats (15-12, 3.68 ERA) hinting at a dominant future. With the postseason looming, Lively’s health and potential as a starter or reliever could be a game-changer for Cleveland.
