Wolf (undisclosed) has given up two runs (one earned) on four hits and four walks while striking out six over seven innings in his two starts for Single-A Lynchburg since being activated from the 7-day injured list June 7.
Wolf was sidelined for the first two months of the season while recovering from an unspecified injury. The 21-year-old right-hander was part of the prospect haul that Cleveland received from the Mets in the January 2021 deal that sent Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco to Queens.

Guardians' Josh Wolf: Sidelined to begin season
Rotowire
Wolf is on the 7-day minor-league injured list with an undisclosed injury.
Wolf, who was part of the package from the Mets in the Francisco Lindor trade, has yet to pitch in 2022. The right-hander posted a 5.35 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 67:34 K:BB at Single-A Lynchburg last season and will likely begin the season at that level once he's healthy.
Wolf was traded from the Mets to the Indians along with Amed Rosario, Andres Gimenez and Isaiah Greene in exchange for Francisco Lindor and Carlos Carrasco on Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Wolf is a prospect, but not a particularly elite one. The 2019 second-round pick combines mid-90s heat with a promising curveball, but he's nowhere close to the majors at this point. He threw just eight professional innings at the rookie-ball level in his debut season and was unable to pitch last year due to the cancellation of the minor leagues.
