"Heuer, 29, was a sixth-round pick by the White Sox back in 2018. He made it to the majors with Chicago during the shortened 2020 campaign and impressed with a 1.52 ERA in 21 appearances, but struggled early in the 2021 season."
"Heuer underwent Tommy John surgery in 2022 and followed that up by suffering a broken elbow midway through the 2023 season, while he was still rehabbing from surgery. He made just 15 appearances total from 2022-24 before finally returning to health as a member of the Rangers in 2025."
"He struggled this spring, with a 9.00 ERA in eight innings of work, but did strike out 11 against five walks. It was an intriguing enough performance to Cleveland that they decided to add him to their 40-man."
The Guardians have selected the contract of right-hander Heuer and optioned him to Triple-A, with no corresponding move needed due to available roster space. Heuer, a former sixth-round pick, had a promising start in the majors but faced injuries, including Tommy John surgery and a broken elbow. He posted a 3.14 ERA in Triple-A but struggled in the majors last year. Despite a rough spring with a 9.00 ERA, his strikeout performance led to his addition to the 40-man roster. The Guardians also re-signed Pedro Avila to a minor league deal.
