Soto (1-1) allowed an unearned run on a hit and a walk to take the loss Sunday against the Athletics. He struck out two.

Tasked with keeping Oakland off the board in the bottom of the ninth in a 2-2 game, Soto started the frame with a strikeout. However, he gave up a one-out double to Matt Olson, who then scored the walkoff run on a fielding error by Jeimer Candelario at third base. The lefty reliever has been good for the Tigers with a 2.45 ERA through seven appearances, and he should see better results moving forward if he keeps pitching like this.

Hendriks worked around one hit and struck out one to pick up the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over Boston in the first game of a doubleheader.

Hendriks allowed a two-out single to Christian Arroyo but had little stress beyond that for this second save of the season and first since April 2. He needed only 16 pitches and should be available to throw in the nightcap if needed.

Lakins (1-1) allowed a run on a hit and two walks with one strikeout in two-thirds of an inning to take the loss Sunday versus the Rangers.

Lakins didn't help his cause much by throwing two wild pitches and loading the bases in his appearance. This was the first time the right-hander allowed a run this season in four outings. He's added four strikeouts in 3.2 innings and will likely feature more frequently in middle-relief assignments.

King (1-0) allowed one hit and struck out one in one inning to earn the extra-inning win Sunday versus the Orioles.

King worked the 10th inning and earned the win when Nate Lowe hit a walkoff single to give the Rangers a 1-0 victory. Through seven innings, King has been a bit generous with baserunners -- he's allowed 10 hits and a walk but only one earned run. He has a hold and a blown save in addition to Sunday's victory.

The White Sox recalled Burdi from their alternate training site prior to the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Red Sox.

Burdi will give the Pale Hose another power arm out of the bullpen as the team looks to complete the doubleheader sweep after taking Game 1 by a score of 3-2. The White Sox cleared a spot on the active roster for Burdi by placing Lance Lynn (back) on the 10-day injured list. Burdi reached the majors for the first time in 2020 but was roughed up over his eight appearances, giving up nine earned runs on 11 hits, including four home runs.

Romano (elbow) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list when eligible Saturday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The 27-year-old landed on the injured list April 15 with right ulnar neuritis, but he's throwing a side session Sunday since it's apparently a minor issue. Romano should be back next weekend if he avoids any setbacks throughout the week. The right-hander could step in as Toronto's closer since Julian Merryweather (oblique) is likely facing a longer absence.

Harvey (oblique) was able to play catch Sunday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Harvey's ability to throw off flat ground represents his first tangible sign of progress since being shut down in mid-March with a severe left oblique strain. The Orioles placed Harvey on the 60-day injured list as a result, making him ineligible to rejoin the big club until at least the second half of May. Provided Harvey experiences no setbacks while building back up following the injury, he should be able to return from the IL in close to the minimum 60 days. Once activated, Harvey could re-enter the Orioles' closing picture.

Pitching coach Pete Walker said Pearson (groin) "feels really good" and is scheduled to throw live batting practice Tuesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The 24-year-old has been throwing at 100 percent intensity since the start of last week, and he has another live batting practice session on tap Tuesday. Pearson began the season on the injured list after aggravating a groin injury in mid-March, but he appears to be closing in on his season debut.

McHugh was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a strain in his lower back.

The 33-year-old apparently suffered the injury Saturday while recording only one out and surrendering one run on two hits. McHugh will be eligible to return April 28, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy at that point. Chris Mazza was recalled from the taxi squad in a corresponding move.

Sulser was recalled from the Orioles' alternate training site Sunday.

The 31-year-old joined Baltimore as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader, but he returned to the alternate site after delivering a scoreless frame. Sulser has a 5:0 K:BB through three innings across his first two appearances of the season.
