  • Duncan Davitt SP | CHW

    White Sox's Duncan Davitt: Bound for Charlotte

    The White Sox optioned Davitt to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

    Davitt will cede his spot to righty Jonathan Cannon, who was recalled ahead of his expected bulk-relief appearance Sunday. Davitt made his MLB debut in Friday's loss to Kansas City, tossing a scoreless inning out of the bullpen.

  • Red Sox's Anthony Eyanson: Dominant start at Greenville

    Eyanson did not allow a hit and struck out seven over 4.1 scoreless innings for High-A Greenville on Saturday.

    Eyanson was brilliant in his second pro start, setting down all 13 batters he faced. The 21-year-old right-hander has allowed one run and three hits while recording 13 strikeouts over 7.1 innings (16.5 K/9) to begin the year. Since being drafted out of LSU in 2025, Eyanson's fastball velocity has increased, per Brendan Samson of MLB.com. After averaging 92-94 mph in college, one of his four-seamers touched 100.2 mph during the Spring Breakout game in March.

  • Rays' Drew Rasmussen: Activated ahead of start

    The Rays reinstated Rasmussen (personal) from the family medical emergency list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Yankees at Tropicana Field.

    Rasmussen will be returning to the hill for his third start of the season and his first appearance since April 1. He had been previously been scheduled to start this past Tuesday against the Cubs, but he was scratched due to the imminent birth of his child. The Rays then placed Rasmussen on the paternity list before transferring him to the FME list Saturday, but he'll now be ready to pitch as Tampa Bay goes for a sweep of the Yankees. Tampa Bay optioned lefty Joe Rock to Triple-A Durham in order to reopen a spot on the 26-man active roster for Rasmussen.

  • Hunter Gaddis SP | CLE

    Guardians' Hunter Gaddis: Activation imminent

    Gaddis (forearm) recently returned from his rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus and joined the Guardians for their road trip in Atlanta, signaling that he could soon be activated from the 15-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

    Gaddis made five appearances during his assignment with Columbus, covering 4.1 innings while allowing five earned runs on six hits and three walks. If the Guardians opt not to activate Gaddis this weekend, he could return to action during the team's three-game road series in St. Louis that begins Monday.

  • Casey Mize SP | DET

    Tigers' Casey Mize: Sharp in first win of 2026

    Mize (1-1) recorded the win in Saturday's 6-1 victory over the Marlins, allowing one run on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

    The right-hander tossed 48 of 74 pitches for strikes before being lifted with two outs in the sixth inning and runners on second and third, leaving Mize just short of his second quality start of the season. He'll take a 3.94 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB through 16 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Boston.

  • Astros' Lance McCullers: Sputters against Seattle

    McCullers allowed six runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four batters over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against the Mariners on Saturday.

    McCullers fell behind quickly when Cal Raleigh tagged him for a two-run homer in the first inning. Houston stormed back for seven runs across the second through fourth frames, but McCullers was unable to make it out of the fifth and give himself a chance at a win. In that inning, he gave up three hits and three walks and was charged with four runs while retiring just one batter. After opening eyes with seven innings of one-run ball and tallying nine strikeouts in his season debut March 30 against the Red Sox, McCullers has yielded nine runs with a modest 8:5 K:BB across 8.1 frames over his past two starts. He next lines up for a home matchup against St. Louis.

  • Luis Castillo SP | SEA

    Mariners' Luis Castillo: Ineffective again Sunday

    Castillo allowed seven runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out three batters over 3.1 innings in a no-decision against Houston on Saturday.

    The Mariners gave Castillo a two-run lead in the first inning, but the veteran hurler fell behind when Taylor Trammell cleared the bases with a three-run double in the second. Castillo gave up three more runs in the third and another in the fourth before being pulled with one out in the latter frame. After tossing six scoreless innings against the Yankees in his first start of the campaign, Castillo has surrendered 11 runs (10 earned) over seven frames across his past two outings. He'll try to get back on track in his next start, which lines up to be a road outing in San Diego.

  • Chris Bassitt SP | BAL

    Orioles' Chris Bassitt: Shows improvement in no-decision

    Bassitt did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Giants, allowing two runs (one earned) on seven hits and one walk with two strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

    Bassitt allowed runs in the second and fourth innings and departed one out shy of qualifying for a potential win at 89 pitches. While it was the veteran's best showing of the season, he's now failed to complete five frames in each of his three starts. His numbers remain rough across the board, as he'll carry a 9.00 ERA, 2.36 WHIP and 5:7 K:BB across 11 innings into a road matchup against the Guardians next week.

  • Ranger Suarez SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Ranger Suarez: Tosses six scoreless in win

    Suarez (1-1) earned the win against the Cardinals on Saturday, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out six over six scoreless innings.

    Suarez cruised through six frames, throwing 55 of 84 pitches for strikes while limiting the Cardinals to only singles. It was a much-needed effort for the 30-year-old, who picked up his first win with the Red Sox after allowing four earned runs in each of his first two outings this season. He'll carry a 5.02 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB across 14.1 innings into a home matchup against the Tigers next weekend.

  • Max Fried SP | NYY

    Yankees' Max Fried: Fires eight strong innings

    Fried didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Rays, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks in eight innings. He struck out six.

    The All-Star southpaw worked efficiently during a strong outing Saturday, tossing 66 of his 94 pitches for strikes. Fried has now pitched at least six innings in each of his first three starts of the season, turning in a quality start each time out so far. He's yet to be taken deep en route to producing a stellar 1.93 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 20:5 K:BB over 28 frames. Fried will be looking to extend his streak of quality starts to four against the Angels next week.
