The Guardians said DeLauter, who was likely to start the season at Triple-A Columbus, will return to Arizona this week to begin his rehab. The return-to-play timeframe for similar cases is eight to 12 weeks.
DeLauter hit .261 with eight homers and 24 RBIs across three minor league levels last season. That included Columbus, where the former James Madison standout batted .304 with two homers and seven RBIs in 23 at-bats.
In other news, outfielder Will Brennan was taken out of Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Los Angeles Angels during the fifth inning for precautionary reasons. The Guardians said Brennan was experiencing mild low back tightness.
