  • Patrick Corbin SP | TOR

    Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Allows three runs in no-decision

    Corbin did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-4 win over the White Sox, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk with six strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

    Corbin yielded two solo home runs and was in line for the loss until the Rangers mounted a ninth-inning comeback. The veteran southpaw has quietly delivered a steady campaign, allowing three earned runs or fewer in each of his nine outings this season. He owns a 3.75 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 38:16 K:BB across 48 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Cardinals next weekend.

  • Jordan Leasure RP | CHW

    White Sox's Jordan Leasure: Blows save, takes loss Sunday

    Leasure (0-4) took the loss against the Rangers on Sunday, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits while striking out two in the ninth inning.

    Leasure was called upon to protect a 3-2 lead in the ninth inning but immediately ran into trouble, hitting the leadoff batter and giving up a double. A fielding error allowed the tying run to score before Adolis Garcia delivered a crushing two-run double. The 26-year-old Leasure is now just 1-for-5 in save chances and owns a 4.26 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 26:9 K:BB across 19 innings this season.

  • Davis Martin SP | CHW

    White Sox's Davis Martin: Logs quality start in no-decision

    Martin did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-4 loss against the Rangers, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks with two strikeouts over six innings.

    Martin surrendered a two-run homer in the second inning but was in line for the win until the Rangers mounted a ninth-inning comeback. The 28-year-old has now delivered three straight quality starts and has surrendered three earned runs or fewer in eight of 11 outings this season. He'll carry a 3.45 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 38:16 K:BB across 62.2 innings into a road matchup with the Orioles next weekend.

  • Robert Garcia RP | TEX

    Rangers' Robert Garcia: Earns second save

    Garcia earned the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over the White Sox, allowing one run on two hits while striking out one in the ninth inning.

    Garcia was called upon to protect a 5-3 lead in the ninth and secured the save despite allowing a run. Luke Jackson, the team's saves leader, pitched the sixth inning after blowing a save Wednesday. Garcia owns a solid 2.45 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB across 22 innings, but it's unclear how many save opportunities he'll get moving forward, as the Rangers' closer role appears in flux for now.

  • Ryan O'Hearn 1B | PIT

    Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn: Three hits, homer in win

    O'Hearn went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Red Sox.

    O'Hearn extended Baltimore's lead to 3-0 with a solo shot off Greg Weissert in the sixth inning, his eighth homer of the year and his first in 18 games. Despite the power drought, O'Hearn has certainly been swinging the bat well -- he's now 12-for-21 (.571) in his last five contests. The 31-year-old O'Hearn is slashing an impressive .329/.419/.537 through 172 plate appearances this season with 18 RBI, 21 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases.

  • Royals' Carlos Estevez: Earns second win

    Estevez (2-0) earned the win against the Twins on Sunday, striking out two while recording four outs across the eighth and ninth innings.

    Estevez entered a tie game and needed just 16 pitches to retire all four batters he faced. He picked up the win after the Royals pushed across a run in the top of the 10th inning. On the season, the 32-year-old has converted 14 of 16 save chances and owns a 1.96 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB across 23 innings.

  • Red Sox's Walker Buehler: Decent in loss

    Buehler (4-2) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.

    Buehler managed to make it through five innings after he was ejected in the third in his last start. The right-hander pitched well, allowing just a pair of runs, but the Red Sox failed to generate much offensively against Dean Kremer in an eventual 5-1 defeat. Buehler's ERA sits at 3.95 with a 1.20 WHIP and 36:13 K:BB across eight starts (41 innings) this season. He's currently in line for a road matchup in Atlanta in his next outing.

  • Dean Kremer SP | MIN

    Orioles' Dean Kremer: Blanks Red Sox in fourth win

    Kremer (4-5) earned the win Sunday over the Red Sox, allowing seven hits and a walk across 5.1 scoreless innings. He struck out four.

    Kremer's now allowed seven or more hits in each of his last three starts, though he was able to work out of trouble to hold Boston scoreless Sunday en route to his first win in four outings. Kremer sports a 5.02 ERA with a 1.39 WHIP and 44:16 K:BB across 11 starts (61 innings) this season. He's currently lined up for a home matchup with the White Sox in his next outing.

  • Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Early exit deemed precautionary

    Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said after Sunday's 5-1 win over the Red Sox that Rutschman (head) was removed from the game as a precaution, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Rutschman took a foul tip to his catcher's mask in the bottom of the third inning but stayed in the game to play one more inning behind the dish. The Orioles removed Rutschman from the contest the next time his turn in the batting order came up in the top of the fifth, with Maverick Handley catching the final five innings. Mansolino was unwilling to say Sunday whether Rutschman was in concussion protocol, as the Orioles instead plan to monitor his condition over the next 24 hours before determining his availability moving forward. The Orioles will face a quick turnaround with a Memorial Day game against the Cardinals that begins at 3:05 p.m. ET, so Rutschman may not be cleared to play in that contest.

  • Yordan Alvarez DH | HOU

    Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Return timeline still cloudy

    Manager Joe Espada said Sunday that Alvarez (hand) is taking part in all baseball activities, but the skipper said he won't "put a specific game or day" for the slugger being activated from the injured list, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    The 27-year-old slugger appears to be in the final stages of his recovery from a hand strain given that he's ramped up his workouts over the past few days, but the Astros aren't tipping their hand on when he may rejoin the active roster. Alvarez has been sidelined by the injury for the past three weeks, though he may not require a minor-league rehab assignment before being reinstated.
