There's a reference to DeLauter in Hoynes today. I'll get the quote. They say they don't want on the field until he's totally fit, Which implies he, as usual, isnt'.

Waiting is the hardest part
Last spring Chase DeLauter was hotter than the Arizona sun. So far this spring he can’t get on the field.
The Guardians didn’t invite DeLauter to big-league camp in 2024. He came over from their depth camp and proceeded to hit .520 (13 for 25) with four homers and 10 RBI in 13 games.
This year DeLauter was invited to big-league camp, but hasn’t appeared in the first four Cactus League games.
“We want to make sure he’s 100 percent healthy,” said Vogt.
DeLauter has been hounded by foot and hamstring injuries since being the Guardians' No. 1 pick in 2022.
“Hopefully sometime in the next week Chase will be in games, but we’re going to be deliberate with that,” said Chris Antonetti, president of baseball operations. “We’ll take our cues from Chase and the medical team on that.” The Guardians are playing the long game with DeLauter.
“With Chase we’re not solving for any artificial timeline of opening day,” said Antonetti. “We are trying to build a foundation so he can have a healthy and productive season.
