Teodo (back) has allowed three runs (two earned) on zero hits and three walks while recording three outs through his first two relief appearances at Triple-A Round Rock. He's also hit three batters and has thrown three wild pitches.

Before the Rangers optioned him to minor-league camp March 2, Teodo had been tending to a back injury early in spring training that prevented him from making any Cactus League appearances. Teodo was apparently able to move past the issue ahead of the start of the Triple-A season, and he'll be primed to fill a key relief role for Round Rock in 2026. The right-hander has gotten off to a rough start through his first two appearances and will need to show improved control over an extended period before earning his first big-league call-up.

The White Sox designated Paez for assignment Wednesday.

Chicago will replace Paez on the 40-man roster and in the bullpen with right-hander Lucas Sims, who was called up from Triple-A Charlotte. Since Paez was a Rule 5 Draft selection over the winter, the White Sox will have to offer him back to the Red Sox if he goes unclaimed off waivers. The 22-year-old righty made relief appearances in three of the White Sox's first five games, allowing six earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two batters over three innings.

The Orioles placed Eflin (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Eflin was lifted from his start Tuesday against the Rangers due to right elbow discomfort. He's set to undergo an MRI on Wednesday, at which point more will be known about how long he will be sidelined. Dean Kremer is likely to be called up from Triple-A Norfolk to take over Eflin's spot in the Baltimore rotation.

Gaddis (forearm) allowed one hit and struck out one over a scoreless inning for Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

Gaddis, who began a rehab assignment March 28, made his second appearance while with the Clippers. Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt told MLB.com that Gaddis needs to be built up to the point where the right-hander can reduce the time off between outings.

Fedde (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk over five innings as the White Sox fell 9-2 to Miami. He struck out four.

The veteran right-hander tossed 50 of 80 pitches for strikes and held the Marlins off the board for three innings before things fell apart for him in the fourth. Fedde is hoping to recapture the form he showed in 2024 in his return to the White Sox, but about the only bright spot in Tuesday's performance is that he kept the ball in the yard after serving up 19 homers in 141 innings last season while bouncing between St. Louis, Atlanta and Milwaukee. Fedde is set to make his next start at home early next week against the Orioles.

Painter (1-0) picked up the win in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Nationals, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out eight.

Making his long-awaited big-league debut, Painter fired 57 of 84 pitches for strikes and topped out at 98.7 mph with his four-seam fastball, although his velocity began to fade in the fifth inning. The 22-year-old right-hander made a clear early statement that he intends to stick around in the Phillies' rotation even after Zack Wheeler (shoulder) comes off the IL. Painter lines up to make his next start early next week on the road in San Francisco.

Williamson (0-1) was the losing pitcher Tuesday when he allowed six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings in an 8-3 loss to Pittsburgh.

Williamson was roughed up by the Pirates in his first big-league start in 560 days. The left-hander avoided damage in the first inning, when he gave up a single and a walk to the first two batters, but the Pirates eventually got to him in the second. A three-run home run from Ryan O'Hearn and a solo blast by Bryan Reynolds highlighted Pittsburgh's five-run frame. "Obviously I threw a few too many heaters over the plate," Williamson told Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. "Hindsight 20/20, I throw something else or locate it a little bit. Really the three-run shot was the dagger." Williamson later gave up a third home run in the fourth inning. He's scheduled to make his next start April 6 against the Marlins, but Williamson did little to suggest he'll keep his spot in the rotation once Nick Lodolo (finger) is cleared to make his season debut.

Littell (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, giving up three runs on six hits and two walks over five innings of relief as the Nationals were downed 3-2 by the Phillies. He struck out one.

After PJ Poulin worked a scoreless first inning as the opener, Littell took the mound and lasted 75 pitches (53 strikes) while serving up solo shots to Kyle Schwarber in the third inning and Adolis Garcia in the fourth. Littell didn't sign with the Nats until early March, so Tuesday's usage likely has more to do with the fact that the right-hander wasn't quite stretched out yet, rather than being a sign that he'll be used as a primary pitcher behind an opener on a regular basis. Littell is expected to make his next appearance at home early next week against the Cardinals.

Kelly (back) is scheduled to start for Triple-A Reno on Friday, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

The plan for Kelly, fresh off a 35-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, is to get as close to or into the 70s with his pitch count Friday. This could be the only rehab start he makes before rejoining the Diamondbacks. Kelly was placed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to March 24, which means he could be activated as early as next Wednesday, April 8.

Bibee (0-1) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four batters over four innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Bibee had to be pulled from his first start last Thursday against Seattle due to a shoulder issue, but the injury didn't prove to be serious, and the right-hander was able to take his normal turn in the rotation Tuesday. He didn't pitch poorly, but he also wasn't efficient, needing 74 pitches to get through four frames. Bibee kept Los Angeles out of the scoring column until there were two outs in his final inning, but an Andy Pages single produced a run and was ultimately responsible for the hurler ending up with the loss. Bibee said after the game that he didn't have any issues with his shoulder, per Mason Horodyski of News 5 Cleveland, so he should be fine to make his next start, which lines up to come at home against Kansas City.
