The Yankees recalled De Los Santos from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to serve as the 27th player for Sunday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays.

The right-hander will temporarily join the big club as bullpen depth following Saturday's postponement. De Los Santos has given up one earned run over 8.1 innings for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this year, though he hasn't pitched in the majors since 2023, when he posted a 3.33 ERA in 22 outings with Pittsburgh.

Hurter (1-0) gave up one run across 2.1 innings of relief to earn the win in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Orioles. He allowed a hit and two walks.

After Keider Montero covered 4.1 innings to start the game, Hurter finished the fifth then worked into the seventh to earn his first win of the season. The lefty has been solid with a 2.65 ERA across 17 innings, which is in line with the 2.58 ERA he posted across 45.1 regular-season innings in 2024. Hurter isn't missing many bats, however, with only 11 strikeouts across those 17 frames.

Greene went 2-for-7 with a walk, a double, a home run and three RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader with the Orioles.

Greene had a productive day at the park, which included his fourth home run of the season in the nightcap. The young outfielder is still slumping a bit with a .233/.282/.398 slash line, which are all down from his 2024 numbers, when he finished the regular season with a career-best .827 OPS. Greene is plenty talented, however, and could get on a hot streak at any point.

Texas manager Bruce Bochy held Garcia out of the starting lineup Saturday for the first time this season, Henry Schulman of MLB.com reports.

Bochy wanted to give Garcia a mental break amid a 3-for-17 road trip and a rough April overall -- he's slashing .182/.229/.299 through 21 games on the month. "It's fair to say he's not seeing the ball well right now," the manager said. "He's trying to get his timing down. That's what he says -- he's lost right now." Josh Smith replaced Garcia in right field.

Torkelson went 2-for-8 with a double, a home run and three RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader with the Orioles.

Torkelson continues to drive the ball this season, as that's now eight home runs across 27 games to go along with a strong .950 OPS. The 25-year-old dipped to a .669 OPS in the regular season last year, but he appears to be having a bounce-back campaign in 2025, and he could surpass the career-best 31 home runs that he tallied back in 2023 if he stays healthy.

Ahmed started at shortstop and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 3-2 loss to San Francisco.

Ahmed made a second start -- both coming against lefties -- since having his contract selected from Triple-A Round Rock. He and Josh Smith have split shortstop duties while Corey Seager (hamstring) recovers. Ahmed is 0-for-5 with two strikeouts.

Noel went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.

After sitting out the matinee against Tanner Houck, Noel got the start in right field and batted eighth in the nightcap against Walker Buehler. Big Christmas took advantage of the opportunity, launching a hanging sweeper over the left-field fence in the fourth inning for his first long ball of the season. Noel has seen sporadic playing time so far and hasn't done much to push for a bigger role, managing just a .465 OPS through 49 plate appearances. Nolan Jones hasn't fared much better (.567 OPS in 70 PAs), so if Noel can heat up, there's a clear path for him to take on a bigger share of the workload in right field.

Nikhazy (0-1) took the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, coughing up six runs on five hits and six walks over three innings. He struck out three.

Making his MLB debut, Nikhazy managed to toss only 50 of his 90 pitches for strikes before getting a merciful hook. The 25-year-old southpaw was making a spot start due to the twin bill, and while he's had some early success at Triple-A Columbus (3.44 ERA, 22:7 K:BB in 18.1 innings) this year, Saturday's performance won't encourage Cleveland to rush him back to the majors the next time the team needs rotation depth.

Williamson went 2-for-5 with four RBI and a run scored during Saturday's 14-0 win against the Mariners.

The 24-year-old has been operating as Seattle's primary third baseman with Jorge Polanco being limited to designated hitter, and Williamson delivered the first multi-RBI performance of his MLB career in Saturday's blowout. He has a .785 OPS for the season and has gone 8-for-19 during a modest five-game hit streak.

Devers went 3-for-7 with two walks, a double, a home run, two RBI and three runs across both ends of Saturday's doubleheader split against the Guardians.

After going 0-for-15 over the last five games of Boston's most recent homestand, Devers was happy to get away from Fenway. The 28-year-old slugger launched a solo shot off Ben Lively in the third inning of the matinee, his third long ball of the season, and he reached base three times in each contest including a hit-by-pitch. Despite his struggles making consistent contact so far in 2025, Devers has had no trouble getting on base, and over his last 11 games he's slashing .184/.373/.421 thanks to an 11:9 BB:K.
