Ingle is the lineup’s lone 2023 draft pick, as the fourth-rounder hit .288 with 10 RBI and a .464 on-base percentage in his first 17 professional games with High-A Lake County last season.
While the Guardians’ initial roster for the showcase was revealed nine days ago, some changes were announced this past Wednesday.
Baseball America’s 28th-ranked Cleveland prospect Justin Campbell will reportedly undergo Tommy John Surgery on his pitching elbow, and will not be available for the game.
The 37th overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft also missed all of last season, and has yet to make his professional debut.
The Guardians’ 2024 MLB Spring Breakout Game against the Reds is scheduled to begin tonight at 7:05 p.m. EST. Fans can watch the contest on MLB.TV, MLB.com, and the MLB App, or listen on cleguardians.com.
