The Cleveland Guardians are promoting the star minor league slugger to the majors for the first time, according to The Athletic's Zack Meisel. Pretty much all Kayfus has done in his professional career is rake. The Guardians took the first baseman/corner outfielder out of Miami in the third round in 2023.

The left-handed hitter has garnered plenty of attention in the minors for how hard he hits the ball, and that was apparent in his first MLB game. In Kayfus’ first at-bat, he ripped a ball with an exit velocity of 97.7 mph to shortstop, which brought in a run.

C.J. Kayfus had to make a few quick phone calls and get to Cleveland. It didn't quite all go to plan, but it worked out in the end before his debut.
