Paddack didn't factor in the decision Tuesday at Cleveland after allowing one run on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out two.

Paddack generated just four swinging strikes on 76 pitches, but the only real damage against him came on a solo homer by Bo Naylor during the third inning. The right-hander has given up just five earned runs across his past five four starts and has gone exactly five frames in each of those outings, but he's marred by an 0-3 record. He's pitching better of late, but Paddack still has an inflated 5.60 ERA for the season since he surrendered nine runs in his season debut.

Meidroth (thumb) could return during the White Sox's upcoming weekend series against the Astros, MLB.com reports.

Meidroth landed on the injured list April 21 due to right thumb inflammation. There have been very few updates about his recovery, though everything appears in line for him to return in short order. It's also unclear if he'll engage in a short rehab assignment prior to activation.

Bibee didn't factor in the decision Tuesday against the Twins despite giving up one run on five hits and no walks across seven innings. He struck out five.

The right-hander had little trouble dispatching Minnesota outside the fifth inning, which is when Ty France knotted the game 1-1 with a solo homer. Bibee threw 64 of 92 pitches for strikes, and the improved command was a welcome sight with it being the first time through six starts this year that he didn't walk a batter. The long ball continues to be a concern as he's already given up nine homers, but Bibee is trending up with just three runs allowed in his past two starts.

Benintendi went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Tuesday against the Brewers.

Benintendi helped the White Sox jump on Freddy Peralta early, slugging a solo home run in the first inning. It was his fifth home run of the season and third since returning from the injured list April 17. However, in that 11-game span, he has only four RBI, four runs scored and no additional extra-base hits.

Vest blew the save Tuesday against Houston after giving up three runs on five hits and one walk with no strikeouts in one inning.

It was the first blown save of the campaign by Vest, who entered the game with the Tigers hanging onto a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning. Vest yielded a Yainer Diaz single that drove in a pair of runs, one of which was inherited from Reese Olson, and he allowed two more runs in the seventh frame before being pulled. The right-hander still sports a 2.77 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB while converting three of his four save chances over 13 innings, so he should continue splitting save opportunities with Tommy Kahnle in Detroit's bullpen.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Tuesday's win over Detroit.

Despite not recording an extra-base hit, Diaz tallied three RBI on Tuesday. The 26-year-old backstop has endured a sluggish start to the campaign overall, but he's fared better at the plate of late. Diaz is batting .270 (10-for-37) with one home run, one double, six RBI and five runs scored over his last 10 games, and he has at least one knock in six of his last seven outings.

Langford batted leadoff for the first time this season and went 1-for-4 with a three-run double and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Athletics.

The Rangers had a pair of three-run doubles, one by Langford and another by Adolis Garcia, during their eight-run onslaught in the sixth inning. Langford has now logged at least one hit in eight of his last nine outings, during which he's batting a scorching .429 (15-for-35) with three home runs, five doubles, seven RBI and two stolen bases. The 2023 No. 4 overall pick has been a five-category fantasy contributor to begin 2025, and his run-scoring upside gets a boost while he's operating as the leadoff hitter.

Jenkins (ankle) received a cortisone injection Tuesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Jenkins has been on the injured list at Double-A Wichita since April 9 due to a sprained left ankle. His injection will help aid in the healing process, but the Twins don't expect him to return to action before the end of May. How far his absence extends beyond that will depend on how quickly he progresses through his rehab.

Torres went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Astros. He also stole a base.

Torres recorded his third home run and fourth stolen base of the season, and it was the first time this year that he had one of each in the same game. The infielder has been a steady performer in his first season with the Tigers, as he's now batting .292 with a .794 OPS across 18 appearances.

Garcia went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Athletics.

Garcia was one of three Rangers to log three RBI in Tuesday's rout, and each of his RBI came on a bases-clearing double during Texas' eight-run barrage in the sixth inning. The veteran slugger, who batted seventh in the order for a second consecutive game, still has just one extra-base hit in his last six games and hasn't homered in any of his last eight, batting .191 with two big flies, 10 RBI, eight runs scored over 89 at-bats in April. Garcia does have three stolen bases during that span, though.
