The Guardians placed Means (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.
Scouting Report
Is a pure strike thrower who displays excellent control. Owns an ideal pitchers' frame (6'3", 235 pounds). Understands how to pitch in tight situations. A late-bloomer, he lacks a dominant strikeout pitch for Major League Baseball. Therefore, he can be a little too hittable at times, even in the minor leagues. Injuries are an issue here.
Long Range Potential: Quality left-hander (when healthy).
