CLEVELAND, Ohio — In June of 2015, a young Cleveland shortstop named Jose Ramirez was hitting .180 (27 for 150) when he was optioned to Triple-A Columbus. Everyone knew shortstop Francisco Lindor was a rising star in the organization, and some wondered if Ramirez would ever resurface in Cleveland.

The Cleveland Guardians have given infielder Brayan Rocchio a long leash. However, it's time for that leash to tighten as more prospects begin performing better than him.

Brayan Rocchio hit a two-run homer and rookie C.J. Kayfus had a solo shot as the Cleveland Guardians beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-1. Gavin Williams threw 5 1/3 scoreless innings,
