  • Sam Haggerty LF | TEX

    Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Scores as pinch runner

    Haggerty entered Tuesday's game as a pinch runner, stole a base and scored a run in a 2-0 win over Toronto.

    Haggerty scored the game-winning run after pinch running for catcher Kyle Higashioka in the eighth inning. The steal was his third in 15 games since his contract was selected from Triple-A Round Rock earlier this month. A recent spate of injuries resulted in Haggerty starting nine straight games -- seven in center field and the last two at DH -- before he opened Tuesday's game on the bench.

  • Jhoan Duran RP | PHI

    Twins' Jhoan Duran: Pockets ninth save

    Duran walked one and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his ninth save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Rays.

    It was the right-hander's first save since May 14, as Duran blew his only save chance during the previous two-week stretch. That blown save was the only time in his last 15 appearances he's been tagged with an earned run, however, and over that 15-game stretch he's posted a 0.60 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 20:5 K:BB in 15 innings.

  • Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX

    Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Expected to make next start

    The Rangers announced that Eovaldi (triceps) was removed from Tuesday's game as a precaution and is not expected to miss time due to the issue, Kenndi Landry of MLB.com reports. The pitcher was removed from Tuesday's game after two innings with triceps fatigue.

    Eovaldi will be monitored over the coming days, but the plan, for now, is for the right-hander to start next Tuesday in Tampa. It will help that the Rangers are off Thursday and next Monday, which keeps the rotation in order while giving Eovaldi two extra days of rest.

  • Joe Ryan SP | MIN

    Twins' Joe Ryan: Sharp in fifth win

    Ryan (5-2) picked up the win in Tuesday's 4-2 victory over the Rays, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.

    The right-hander wrapped up the month of May undefeated, going 3-0 with a 1.86 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 33:5 K:BB over 29 innings while delivering four quality starts in five trips to the mound. Ryan has put up Cy Young-worthy numbers to begin the season, and he'll look to get back in the win column in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week against the A's.

  • Chase Lee RP | TOR

    Tigers' Chase Lee: Records first hold

    Lee worked around two hits to toss two scoreless innings of relief and earn a hold in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Giants. He struck out one.

    After starter Jack Flaherty fired six scoreless innings, Lee followed with a scoreless seventh and eighth to earn his first MLB hold. The 26-year-old has been good for the Tigers in his debut campaign, posting a 1.26 ERA and 0.84 WHIP with 14 strikeouts across 14.1 innings so far. Lee has only been scored upon twice in 11 appearances.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Tees off in loss

    Schneemann went 1-for-2 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-5 loss to the Dodgers.

    Schneemann launched a three-run homer in the fourth inning after the Dodgers raced to an early 4-0 lead. Despite that early success, Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt pinch hit for Schneemann against a lefty in the seventh, limiting him to two plate appearances. He has just 16 at-bats against southpaws in 2025. Schneemann blipped on the fantasy radar in early May but had gone quiet prior to Tuesday's three-run homer. He entered the game batting .175 (7-for-40) with one extra-base hit, one RBI and three runs over 13 games.

  • Wenceel Perez RF | DET

    Tigers' Wenceel Perez: Homers in first game back

    Perez (back) went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Giants.

    Perez was activated from the 60-day injured list earlier in the day, and he quickly made his mark in his first game of the season. The outfielder missed his team's first 55 games due to back inflammation, but now that he's made his return, he should see semi-regular time in the field, particularly with Parker Meadows (arm) and Matt Vierling (shoulder) still out. Javier Baez has played well in center field, however, and should continue to have a big role as long as he's hitting. It was Perez in center Tuesday with Baez shifting over to third base.

  • Royals' Daniel Lynch: Strikes out four

    Lynch allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out four in 2.2 innings Tuesday against the Reds. He did not factor into the decision.

    Lynch made just his second start in what was his 23rd appearance overall this season. He allowed a second-inning home run to Tyler Stephenson but also recorded season highs in strikeouts and outs recorded. The numbers aren't flashy, but Lynch owns a 1.75 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 16:13 K:BB in 25.2 innings this season.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | ATL

    Guardians' Carlos Santana: Contributes in return

    Santana started at first base and went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-5 loss to the Dodgers.

    Santana was back in the lineup after missing two games due to a leg injury. He picked up where he left off prior to the injury, extending his hitting streak to seven games, during which the 39-year-old is 10-for-24 with two doubles, two home runs, six walks, six RBI and eight runs scored.

  • Paxton Schultz RP | WAS

    Blue Jays' Paxton Schultz: Opening Wednesday's game

    The Blue Jays named Schultz as their starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Rangers in Arlington, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Schultz will be making his first MLB start Wednesday, and though the Blue Jays haven't confirmed as much, the right-hander is likely to be utilized as more of an opener in front of lefty Eric Lauer, who had started the last time the fifth spot in the rotation came up last weekend. Schultz has worked out of the bullpen in each of his 13 appearances between Toronto and Triple-A Buffalo this season, covering no more than 4.1 innings in any of those outings. He'll also be taking the hill on just two days' rest Wednesday, so the Blue Jays may just be hoping to get two or three innings out of him before turning the game over to the bullpen.
