CLEVELAND, Ohio — Guardians No. 2 prospect Chase DeLauter will skip the Arizona Fall League and focus on his offseason conditioning, according to team executives.

DeLauter, 23, made his big league debut during Cleveland’s postseason run, starting in center field during Games 2 and 3 of the American League wild card series against the Tigers.

It was originally announced that DeLauter would make his third appearance in the prospect league, but instead it was determined that the 6-foot-3, 235-pound outfielder will work out at the club’s Goodyear training facility for a “big chunk” of the offseason.

DeLauter’s spot in the AFL will be taken buy outfielder Joe Lampe, who hit .231 with 10 home runs and 63 RBI in 117 games between Double-A Akron and Triple-A Columbus this season.
