The Guardians agreed to a one-year contract with Hedges on Wednesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Hedges will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.
Is an exceptional defensive catcher, with outstanding throwing ability from behind the plate, a quick release and also great agility. His receiving skills are off-the-charts good, overall. Can also be a solid contact hitter. Is woefully inconsistent at the dish, prone to huge hitting slumps. Also, the jury is still out on his long-term power stroke at the big-league level. Gets into trouble when he starts to swing for the fences.
Long Range Potential: Excellent defensive catcher.
