The Rays recalled Boyle from Triple-A Durham to start Sunday against Atlanta, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Tampa Bay doesn't have an opening in its rotation, but Boyle will be called upon to take the hill Sunday in order to provide the team's other five starters with an additional day of rest. The right-hander was unable to secure a roster spot with the Rays coming out of spring training, but he'll get a call-up after allowing two earned runs on five hits while striking out 10 over eight innings across his two starts with Durham. However, the control problems that plagued him during his 13 appearances (10 starts) with the Athletics last season once again cropped up at Durham, as Boyle has walked six of the 35 batters he has faced in the minors.

Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and three total runs in Saturday's 9-2 win against the Rangers.

Raleigh homered for the second straight day, blasting a 420-foot solo shot in the fifth inning. The powerful backstop is up to four home runs on the season, tied for second most among MLB catchers. Raleigh is a good bet to finish near the top of the homer rankings among catchers after reaching 30 long balls each of the previous two campaigns.

Rocker (0-2) took the loss against Seattle on Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 3.1 innings.

Rocker began his outing with two scoreless frames, but he was torched for four runs in the third. The right-hander returned for the fourth inning but was pulled after giving up a one-out single. Rocker has struggled in two of his three outings so far this season, resulting in a poor 7.94 ERA and 1.94 WHIP overall. He hasn't been able to miss many bats, tallying just six strikeouts while issuing four walks through 11.1 frames.

Woo (2-0) earned the win over Texas on Saturday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over seven innings.

Woo gave up a run in the first frame, but he put the clamps on the Rangers' offense thereafter and didn't allow another player to cross the plate. The right-hander impressed by racking up 15 whiffs and throwing 61 of an efficient 91 pitches for strikes. Woo has gone at least six innings in all three of his starts this season, and this was his second quality start of the campaign. He's been ace-like to begin 2025 with a 2.84 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB through 19 innings.

Long allowed three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out one over an inning Saturday against the Guardians.

Long has struggled to begin the season, giving up 12 runs (10 earned) with five walks in seven innings. He was a productive reliever for the Royals last season with a 3.16 ERA and 44:17 K:BB in 42.2 regular-season innings, so he may get some time to turn his season around. However, he may be limited to low-leverage situations for a while.

Rice went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Giants.

The 26-year-old slugger took Lou Trivino deep in the sixth inning, ripping a line drive over the fence in the right-field corner that left his bat at 113.2 mph. Rice appears to be headed for a breakout campaign, slashing .310/.431/.690 through 13 games with four homers, five RBI and 11 runs while settling in at the top of the Yankees' batting order -- over his last seven games, Rice has batted exclusively leadoff against right-handed pitching, and second against lefties.

Warren (1-0) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over five innings in an 8-4 victory over the Giants. He struck out six.

The right-hander was handed a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning but promptly gave it back in the top of the second, before settling in and letting the Yankees' offense carry him to his first career win in the majors. Warren tossed 54 of 91 pitches for strikes and racked up a dominant 35 called or swinging strikes in his best performance yet this season. While Clarke Schmidt (shoulder) is poised to come off the IL next week, a knee injury to Marcus Stroman and the struggles of Carlos Carrasco have given Warren some extra job security in the Yankees' rotation. He's scheduled to make his next trip to the mound on the road next week against the Rays.

Gusto (1-1) took the loss Saturday against the Angels, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk over four innings. He struck out six.

The Angels got to Gusto early, opening the first inning with three straight hits to plate two runs. The 26-year-old Gusto would manage to stop the bleeding until Nolan Schanuel's solo home run in the fourth. Overall, it was an up-and-down effort for Gusto in his first big-league start -- he had allowed just one run in eight innings out of the bullpen while striking out nine prior to Saturday. Gusto figures to remain in the Astros' rotation due to Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) expected to miss the next six weeks. Gusto is tentatively in line for a tough home matchup with the Padres in his next outing.

Jansen earned the save in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Angels, allowing one hit while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

Jansen worked around a one-out single to improve to 4-for-4 in save chances this year. It's been a nice start to the season for the 37-year-old closer -- Jansen has delivered six scoreless innings, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out seven in that span.

Ortiz (1-2) earned the win against the Royals on Saturday, allowing one run on one hit and two walks with 10 strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Ortiz was a solo homer away from a spotless outing, racking up 16 whiffs on 100 pitches to earn his first win of the season. The 26-year-old owns a 6.06 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB across 16.1 innings, though much of the damage to his ratios stems from a seven-run outing March 31. He's slated to face his former team, the Pirates, in Pittsburgh next weekend.
