Craig Albernez, last year's bench coach, has been promoted to associate manager after interviewing with the Marlins and White Sox for their managerial jobs.

Early Wednesday afternoon, it was reported that the Guardians had finally filled their hitting coach vacancy, promoting Grant Fink to fill the spot previously held by Chris Valaika. Fink played college ball at Missouri Western State and was a 23rd round pick of Cleveland in 2013 and spent the majority of his professional playing days in Lake County before being released in the Spring of 2016.
