Athletics' Zack Gelof: Begins rehab assisgnment
Gelof (wrist) is 1-for-4 with a walk for Triple-A Las Vegas in the first two games of a rehab assignment that began Tuesday.
Gelof underwent surgery in March to repair a fractured hamate bone in his right wrist. He'll likely need a week or more of rehab games before he's ready to be activated from the injured list.

Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Surging in power department again
O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Tigers.
O'Hoppe turned in his seventh multi-hit performance of the season Thursday. The 25-year-old backstop entered Thursday with an elite 21.8 percent barrel rate on the season, and he appears to be starting another power surge after homering in five of his first seven outings of the year. Across his last seven games, O'Hoppe is batting .269 (7-for-26) with four long balls and six RBI.

Gleyber Torres 2B | DET
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Dealing with hamstring issue
Torres is dealing with a hamstring injury and will not be in the lineup Friday against the Angels, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Torres was removed from Thursday's game after singling to lead off the eighth inning. Manager A.J. Hinch stated after the contest that Torres was set for a day off Friday regardless of the injury, so there doesn't seem to be much concern about the issue at this point.

Dillon Dingler C | DET
Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Goes yard in three-hit effort
Dingler went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in Thursday's win over the Angels.
It was the second three-hit attack of the campaign by Dingler, who also matched a season high with three RBI on Thursday. Over his last 17 outings, the catcher is hitting .284 (19-for-67) with three homers, four doubles, nine RBI and five runs scored as Detroit's primary backstop. Dingler has zero walks through 87 plate appearances, so his plate discipline remains a work in progress.

Jonathan Loaisiga RP | ARI
Yankees' Jonathan Loaisiga: Remains weeks away from return
Loaisiga (elbow) has made two appearances with Single-A Tampa but isn't expected to be activated from the injured list for "a few weeks," per MLB.com.
Loaisiga has excelled so far in his pair of rehab outings, posting a 4:0 K:BB and allowing just one hit over two scoreless innings. However, he hasn't pitched in a major-league game since last April, so he won't be rushed back into big-league action. The Yankees will likely move Loaisiga's rehab stint up to Double-A or Triple-A in the near future and want him to pitch on back-to-back days before they consider activating him from the injured list.

Mason Montgomery RP | PIT
Rays' Mason Montgomery: Mediocre start to season
Montgomery allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk while striking out two Thursday against the Royals.
Montgomery has pitched in some high-leverage spots for the Rays early on this season. He's entered contests in the seventh inning or later with a run differential of two or less in six of his 11 appearances, and he's recorded three holds. His surface results have been mediocre as he's allowed an earned run in four of his outings and has a 5.06 ERA, though he does have an impressive 15:4 K:BB.

Mike Trout CF | LAA
Angels' Mike Trout: Set for IL stint
Trout (knee) will be placed on the injured list due to a left knee bruise, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Trout has been dealing with the injury since Wednesday and was out of the lineup Thursday. The Angels have consistently downplayed the injury, and manager Ron Washington said that there is no structural damage. It's anticipated that Trout will be sidelined for a relatively short period, though no timeline has been announced.

Alex Faedo SP | TB
Rays' Alex Faedo: Ramping up
Faedo (shoulder) is scheduled to throw live batting practice May 6, MLB.com reports.
Faedo has been sidelined since March 21 due to the shoulder injury and is restarting his ramp-up process. He'll be out until at least late May, though he'll serve as a multi-inning reliever upon his return and may not need a full 30-day rehab assignment to be deemed MLB ready.

Yusei Kikuchi SP | LAA
Angels' Yusei Kikuchi: Fans five in no-decision
Kikuchi didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Detroit after allowing two runs on five hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out five.
Both of Kikuchi's runs allowed came via solo homers, with one coming on a third-inning shot by Javier Baez and another on a fourth-inning blast by Gleyber Torres. It was still an encouraging bounce-back effort overall by the left-hander, who yielded a lone walk after lending a whopping 18 free passes over 25.1 frames in April. Kikuchi will look to further improve his 4.21 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 33:19 K:BB across 36.1 frames in a tough matchup next week versus the Blue Jays, who entered Wednesday with a .758 OPS against left-handed pitching this season.

Casey Mize SP | SD
Tigers' Casey Mize: Comes away with fifth win
Mize (5-1) earned the win Thursday against the Angels after allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks in seven innings. He struck out four.
Although he tied a season high with four runs and two homers allowed, Mize hurled seven innings Thursday for the second time this season. The long ball has been an issue for the right-hander over his last four starts, during which he's been taken deep six times over 25 innings. Despite those shortcomings, Mize has maintained a strong 2.70 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB across 36.2 frames in 2025, but he's next slated for a tough assignment at hitter-friendly Coors Field against the Rockies.
