  • Cody Poteet RP | BAL

    Orioles' Cody Poteet: Sent to IL with shoulder injury

    The Orioles placed Poteet on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right shoulder inflammation.

    Poteet was rocked for five runs while throwing 68 pitches over 2.2 innings in Sunday's blowout loss to the Reds and apparently came out of the appearance with a shoulder problem. It's not clear how long he might be sidelined.

  • Bryse Wilson RP | PHI

    White Sox's Bryse Wilson: Filling bulk role Wednesday

    White Sox manager Will Venable said that Wilson is in line to fill a bulk-relief role in Wednesday's game in Minnesota, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Wilson has worked exclusively out of the bullpen so far in 2025, but he's made 52 career starts in the majors, including nine last season with Milwaukee. The right-hander isn't stretched out enough to handle a traditional starting role, but he should be able to offer the White Sox a decent amount of length out of the bullpen after having previously covered three innings and 64 pitches in an April 4 relief appearance in Detroit. If Wilson excels in his appearance Wednesday, he could be in line for a more permanent spot in the White Sox rotation with Martin Perez (elbow) recently landing on the 60-day injured list.

  • Alexis Diaz RP | TEX

    Reds' Alexis Diaz: Knocked around in loss

    Diaz allowed three runs on three hits and one walk over 1.1 innings in Monday's 6-3 loss to Miami. He also hit a batter.

    Diaz stranded a pair of inherited runners to get out of the sixth inning but ran into trouble in the seventh, when pinch hitter Kyle Stowers took him deep for a three-run home run. It was the first time in four outings that Diaz was scored upon. The former closer has allowed four hits and four walks while striking two over four innings.

  • Paul Sewald RP | ARI

    Guardians' Paul Sewald: Cedes homer in win

    Sewald allowed two runs on two hits while striking out one over 1.1 innings in Monday's 6-4 win over the Yankees.

    Sewald got the last two outs of the seventh inning before getting stung by a Jazz Chisholm two-run blast in the eighth. He's allowed three home runs and has a 6.10 ERA over 10.1 innings (12 outings). Sewald, who has experience as a closer, could nevertheless garner save opportunities at some point if the issues Emmanuel Clase (two blown saves, 7.84 ERA, 2.23 WHIP) has exhibited thus far prompts manager Stephen Vogt to try someone else in the role, at least temporarily.

  • Joey Cantillo SP | CLE

    Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Logs first hold

    Cantillo walked one and struck out one over a scoreless one-third of an inning in Monday's 6-4 win over the Yankees.

    A day after recording his first MLB save, Cantillo was credited with his first hold when he finished out the eighth inning. The 25-year-old lefty began the season as a multi-inning reliever but has not worked more than one inning over the last four appearances. Cantillo has allowed just two earned runs while striking out 15 over 11.2 innings.

  • Bryan Hoeing RP | SD

    Padres' Bryan Hoeing: In midst of throwing program

    Hoeing (shoulder) has been throwing for a few weeks and tossed a full bullpen session that included breaking pitches April 15, per MLB.com.

    The April 15 session was Hoeing's first bullpen that included breaking pitches since he landed on the IL in late March. The right-hander didn't get into any spring games as he battled a right shoulder injury throughout camp, so he'll likely need to spend some time on a minor-league rehab assignment before he's ready to join the Padres' bullpen. That said, Hoeing could be activated sometime in May.

  • Camilo Doval RP | NYY

    Giants' Camilo Doval: Notches third save

    Doval earned a save against the Brewers on Monday, striking out one batter in a perfect ninth inning.

    The Giants held a comfortable three-run lead when Doval entered in the ninth frame, and the righty reliever worked quickly to end the contest, needing just seven pitches to retire the side in order. He got the save chance in part because Ryan Walker was unavailable after pitching on back-to-back days and throwing 25 pitches in a blown save Sunday. Despite that blow-up, Walker remains the Giants' primary closer, though Doval looks to be first in line for spare save chances given that he's gone 3-for-3 in such opportunities and has a 2.61 ERA overall on the season.

  • Edwin Diaz RP | LAD

    Mets' Edwin Diaz: Escapes with save

    Diaz allowed a run on one hit in one inning during Monday's win over Philadelphia. He struck out two and earned a save.

    While Diaz was charged with only one run, he served up a three-run blast to Bryson Stott after inheriting two runners from Max Kranick. It was the first home run allowed by Diaz since April 9 and snapped a three-inning scoreless streak. Despite his 5.59 ERA, he's converted each of his six save chances this season.

  • Brenan Hanifee RP | DET

    Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Records first win

    Hanifee (1-0) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Monday against the Padres. He allowed one hit and struck out two.

    After recording his first hold of the season in his last appearance Saturday, Hanifee notched his first win of the year Monday. The righty allowed an earned run in each of his first two 2025 outings, but since then, he's rattled off eight straight appearances without allowing any earned runs. Overall, Hanifee has a strong 1.54 ERA across 11.2 innings out of Detroit's bullpen.

  • Jesus Tinoco RP | MIA

    Marlins' Jesus Tinoco: Picks up save Monday

    Tinoco threw a perfect inning and earned his second save of the season against the Reds on Monday.

    Tinoco had no trouble retiring Cincinnati's 7-8-9 hitters in order to close out the 6-3 victory. He threw nine of 11 pitches for strikes to earn his second save in as many days. Tinoco has delivered four straight scoreless innings after coughing up two runs April 12 in his first appearance after a stint on the injured list. Clayton McCullough has shown signs early in his first season as Marlins manager that he's willing to ride the hot hand as his closer, so Tinoco could get more save chances ahead of Calvin Faucher and Anthony Bender in the short term.
