  • Osvaldo Bido RP | CHW

    Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Decent in no-decision

    Bido took a no-decision Sunday against the White Sox, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out one.

    The 29-year-old right-hander faired well in this 90-pitch outing, firing 58 strikes. The lone blemish on Bido's performance was a leadoff 400-foot home run surrendered to Joshua Palacios to open the game, which is the third straight start in which he's allowed a homer. Through 31.1 innings, Bido has pitched to a 4.88 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB. He currently lines up to make his next start against the Marlins in Miami next weekend.

  • Davis Martin SP | CHW

    White Sox's Davis Martin: Pitches well in bulk role

    Martin did not factor into the decision in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Athletics, allowing three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out five.

    After Jonathan Cannon looked sharp behind an opener Saturday, the White Sox found success again in having Martin pitch after opener Brandon Eisert. Despite generating only five whiffs, Martin looked solid and produced his first scoreless appearance of the season. With this 73-pitch effort, the Chicago right-hander lowered his season ERA from 3.95 to 3.24 across 33.1 innings. It wouldn't be surprising to see the White Sox deploy Martin in a bulk role again for his next rotation turn, which currently lines up to be against the Astros at home next weekend.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Exits early Sunday

    Jung exited Sunday's game against the Giants in the fifth inning with a cut on his index finger, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Jung was forced to leave the game ahead of the bottom of the fifth frame, though it's unclear when he suffered the finger injury. After his departure, Josh Smith moved over to third base. Jung's day came to an end after going 1-for-2 at the plate.

  • Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Breather in Game 2

    Kirk is not in the starting lineup for the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader with the Yankees.

    Kirk will take a seat after he went 2-for-4 while drawing the start behind the plate in the team's 11-2 loss in Game 1. Tyler Heineman will take over at catcher and bat seventh versus New York in Game 2.

  • Ernie Clement 2B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Sitting for Game 2

    Clement is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

    Clement will head to the bench after he went 1-for-4 in the team's 11-2 matinee loss Sunday. Will Wagner will take over at the hot corner and bat sixth in the nightcap versus New York.

  • Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Breather in Game 2

    Goldschmidt is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader versus Toronto.

    Goldschmidt will get a breather after he went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run scored in the team's 11-2 win over the Blue Jays in Game 1. Ben Rice will replace him at first base, batting second against Toronto.

  • Austin Wells C | NYY

    Yankees' Austin Wells: Sitting for nightcap

    Wells is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader with the Blue Jays.

    Wells will take a seat after he went 2-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored in the team's 11-2 matinee win over Toronto. J.C. Escarra will draw the start at catcher and bat eighth against the Blue Jays.

  • Dean Kremer SP | MIN

    Orioles' Dean Kremer: Takes fourth loss

    Kremer (2-4) took the loss Saturday against the Tigers, allowing five runs on four hits and four walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out three.

    It's already the fourth time in six starts that Kremer has allowed more than five earned runs. His ERA now sits at 7.04 with a 1.57 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB across 30.2 innings. The 29-year-old right-hander will look to get on track in his next outing, which tentatively lines up for next weekend against Kansas City.

  • Tarik Skubal SP | LAD

    Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Blanks Baltimore

    Skubal (3-2) earned the win Sunday over the Orioles, allowing four hits across six scoreless innings. He struck out 11.

    It was another stellar outing from Skubal, who logged double-digit strikeouts for the first time this season. The reigning AL Cy Young winner has held opponents scoreless in three of his first six starts -- his ERA is down to 2.34 with a 1.04 WHIP and 40:5 K:BB over 34.2 innings. Skubal will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week against the Angels.

  • Mariners' Ben Williamson: Managing back spasms

    Williamson was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins due to back spasms, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    The 24-year-old woke up with back spasms after going 2-for-5 with four RBI and a run during Saturday's contest, so he didn't start at third base as initially expected. Williamson will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery before potentially missing more time.
