    Athletics' Henry Bolte: Moving up to big leagues

    The Athletics are expected to call up Bolte from Triple-A Las Vegas ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    With shortstop Jacob Wilson suffering a shoulder sprain in Sunday's loss to the Orioles that could send him to the injured list, Bolte looks like he could end up being promoted in a corresponding move to fill the open roster spot. Though he won't be a potential replacement option at shortstop for Wilson, Bolte could push the struggling Lawrence Butler (.560 OPS in 133 plate appearances) for regular playing time in the outfield. The 22-year-old Bolte has been one of the Pacific Coast League's hottest hitters through the first month and a half of the season, slashing .348/.418/.658 with 12 home runs and 17 stolen bases across 177 plate appearances.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Returns from IL at Triple-A

    Triple-A Salt Lake activated Moore (leg) from the 7-day injured list Monday.

    Moore has been cleared to return to action after missing more than two weeks with a leg injury. The 23-year-old has offered a mixed bag at Salt Lake this season, slashing .219/.437/.452 with two home runs, four stolen bases and a 28:24 BB:K over 21 contests. The Angels remain unsettled at second base, so Moore could push for a promotion if he gets hot.

  • Dustin Harris 1B | HOU

    White Sox's Dustin Harris: Back with ChiSox on MiLB deal

    The White Sox signed Harris to a minor-league contract Monday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

    It's a return to the organization Harris started with this season before he went from the White Sox to the Astros via waivers last month. In 17 games this season between both stops, Harris has slashed .233/.333/.302 with no home runs, four stolen bases and a 6:7 BB:K. He will report to Triple-A Charlotte.

  • Yimi Garcia RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Starts up rehab assignment

    Garcia (elbow) made his first rehab appearance Thursday in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, recording two outs while giving up one earned run on two hits.

    Garcia took the hill for his first game action since July 2, 2025, after he closed last season on Toronto's injured list due to an ankle sprain and then right elbow discomfort caused by scar tissue, which he had cleaned up through surgery in September. The 35-year-old was limited during spring training while rebounding from the procedure, but after facing hitters without issue over the past few weeks, he received clearance to begin a rehab assignment. Garcia could need most of the 30-day rehab window to round into form and knock off rust, so he may not be an option for the Toronto bullpen until late May or early June.

  • Connor Seabold RP | DET

    Tigers' Connor Seabold: Starts up rehab assignment

    Seabold (ankle) struck out two and gave up one hit and no walks over a scoreless inning in his rehab appearance Friday with Single-A Lakeland.

    The Tigers placed Seabold on the 15-day injured list April 26 due to left ankle inflammation, but he shouldn't require an extended rehab assignment before making his return from the shelf. The right-hander projects to serve as a multi-inning option out of the Detroit bullpen once he's activated.

  • Osvaldo Bido SP | CHW

    White Sox's Osvaldo Bido: Clears waivers

    The White Sox outrighted Bido to Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

    Bido cleared waivers after being designated for assignment Friday and appears poised to stick around in the organization as a swingman depth at the Triple-A level. Between big-league stops with Atlanta and Chicago this season, the 30-year-old right-hander delivered a 6.27 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 11:10 K:BB over 18.2 innings in 11 appearances out of the bullpen.

  • Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Still being brought along slowly

    Tiedemann (elbow) isn't yet facing live hitters, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    While an earlier report said the 23-year-old southpaw has been cleared for mound work in late April, it doesn't look like Tiedemann's throwing program has progressed much past that point yet. He missed all of 2025 after Tommy John surgery and was shut down this spring due to further elbow soreness, so the Blue Jays' caution with him is understandable. Tiedemann likely won't be a factor for the big-league staff until the second half of the season at the earliest.

  • Nolan Perry SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Nolan Perry: Dazzling in return from TJ

    Perry has posted a 1.73 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 40:7 K:BB in 26 innings across six games (five starts) between Single-A Dunedin and High-A Vancouver this season.

    An unheralded 12th-round pick in the 2022 draft, Perry missed all of 2025 due to Tommy John surgery but has returned with more pop on his fastball, which is now averaging about 94 mph, and a sharper slider. The 22-year-old right-hander still has to prove himself against tougher competition to be viewed as a legitimate prospect, but his numbers to begin 2026 are impressive -- per Mitch Bannon of The Athletic, Perry's 34.4 percent K%-BB% ranks fourth among all minor-league pitchers, with top prospects Seth Hernandez of the Pirates and Kade Anderson of the Mariners being two of the names ahead of him.

  • Johnny King SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Johnny King: Almost unhittable at High-A

    King has posted a 1.04 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB through 17.1 innings over six starts for High-A Vancouver.

    The youngest player in the Northwest League to begin the season, King won't turn 20 until late July, but he's dominating hitters 4-5 years older than him. While the southpaw's control remains a concern, King's given up just seven hits and zero homers so far at High-A while leaning on his mid-90s fastball and nasty curveball. The Blue Jays are building him up slowly given his age -- he has yet to throw more than four innings in any outing this year -- and he'll need to find a reliable third pitch at some point if he wants to avoid a future in the bullpen, but King remains one of the most promising arms in the system.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Mariners' Josh Naylor: Extends hit streak in loss

    Naylor went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the White Sox.

    Naylor extended his hitting streak to nine games with Sunday's two-hit effort. After going 9-for-76 (.118) in his first 19 games this year, Naylor's responded by batting .397 with a 1.020 OPS in his subsequent 19 contests. Overall, the first baseman is slashing .255/.317/.383 with five homers, 20 RBI, 12 runs scored and seven steals across 164 plate appearances this season.
