DeLauter underwent surgery for a broken hamate bone in his right hand/wrist and is expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks, according to an update from the club. DeLauter sought a second opinion from Dr. Thomas Graham in Philadelphia and, after an MRI, a hook of the hamate bone was confirmed, which led to a surgical recommendation.

The Guardians organization expects DeLauter's return-to-play timeframe to be around six to eight weeks, which is the typical recovery time for the injury.

A top Guardians prospect will be sidelined nearly two months after undergoing another surgical procedure this season.
