Vaughn went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts, three walks and one run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Cleveland.

Vaughn was able to reach base three times Wednesday despite not recording a hit, and he scored the first run of the game on a Lenyn Sosa RBI single in the first inning. Vaughn has reached base in six of his last eight games but has gone 5-for-28 with four walks, one home run and five RBI over that span.

Tauchman went 3-for-4 in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.

Tauchman was responsible for three of the White Sox's eight hits Wednesday, all of which were singles, but he appeared to injure himself while rounding third base in the ninth inning and was tagged out by Austin Hedges for the final out. Tauchman has played in three games since being activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday and has gone 4-for-10 with two walks and one run scored, but he could be facing another multi-game absence after aggravating a right hamstring injury that he initially suffered in mid-March.

Castillo didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Astros after giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits and five walks in four innings. He struck out three.

Two walks followed by a trio of singles gave the Astros a three-run lead in the second inning. Castillo then allowed another run on an RBI walk by Brendan Rodgers in the third frame, which went unearned due to a throwing error by the right-hander on the previous sequence. Castillo had trouble putting hitters away Wednesday, needing 100 pitches to finish the outing, and he holds an uninspiring 7.71 ERA, 2.71 WHIP and 5:7 K:BB across seven innings (two starts) this season.

Kremer (1-2) took the loss Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing six runs on eight hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

Kremer fell victim to the long ball Wednesday, giving up three home runs, including back-to-back blasts to Pavin Smith and Josh Naylor in the fifth inning. The 29-year-old Kremer has struggled to an 8.16 ERA through his first three starts (14.1 innings) while posting a 1.67 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB. Kremer will look to get on track in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week against Cleveland.

Lee was removed from Wednesday's game against the Guardians due to left ankle soreness.

Lee appeared to roll his ankle while scrambling back to first base in the sixth inning. He ended up getting picked off to end the frame and was replaced at catcher when the White Sox took the field. The team will take a closer look at him to see if he suffered any structural damage, but he can be considered day-to-day for now.

Moncada was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rays due to an injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Moncada started Wednesday's game after missing the Halos' previous three contests due to a thumb injury that's been bothering him since spring training. If his removal Wednesday ends up being the result of another problem with his thumb, there's a chance the Angels will place him on the IL until he's completely past the issue.

Brown didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Seattle after allowing two hits and no walks in six scoreless innings, striking out three.

While both of Brown's hits allowed were doubles, he faced very little resistance from Seattle otherwise. In fact, none of the Mariners were even able to reach third base while Brown was on the hill. The 26-year-old right-hander is off to an excellent start in 2025, sporting a 2.00 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 18:3 K:BB through 18 innings (three starts). Up next for Brown in his next scheduled appearance is a matchup in St. Louis, which is slated for early next week.

Bido (1-1) took the loss Wednesday against the Padres, allowing two runs on nine hits across five innings. He struck out five.

Bido did a good job of limiting the damage against a potent Padres offense. However, a pair of runs proved enough to stick the right-hander with his first loss in a 2-1 defeat. The 29-year-old Bido now has a 3.00 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB through his first three starts (15 innings) this season. He's currently in line to face the White Sox in his next outing.

Flaherty came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees, allowing three hits and three walks over 5.1 scoreless innings. He struck out nine.

In a battle of high-school teammates between Flaherty and New York lefty Max Fried, both of whom attended Harvard-Westlake in Los Angeles, the duo combined for 20 strikeouts over 12.1 scoreless frames. Flaherty bowed out of the duel after 92 pitches (58 strikes) having racked up 31 called or swinging strikes. The right-hander has been impressive in his second stint with Detroit, and while he has yet to last six innings in a start, he's delivered a 1.62 ERA and 21:7 K:BB through 16.2 innings. Flaherty will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Milwaukee.

Leiter recorded the final out of Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Tigers to record his first save of the season.

He wasn't expected to get any work in when Devin Williams was called upon to protect a 4-0 lead in the ninth inning, but two hits, two walks and a wild pitch led to three runs and forced Leiter onto the mound. The veteran right-hander got the job done on two pitches as he induced a pop-up from Justyn-Henry Malloy. Luke Weaver had worked the eighth inning, so Leiter's usage isn't an indication he's moved up in the Yankees' bullpen hierarchy. Leiter has a 5.79 ERA through 4.2 innings to begin the season, but he's been scored upon in only one of his six appearances, and his 7:2 K:BB is a better reflection of his performance so far in 2025. He has two holds and a win in addition to Wednesday's bonus save.
