Guerrero and the Blue Jays agreed Sunday on a 14-year, $500 million contract extension, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Guerrero will be a mainstay in the Toronto lineup for many years to come, inking a lucrative deal to remain with the Blue Jays through the 2039 campaign. The first baseman has produced a career .288/.363/.499 slash line with 160 home runs over six-plus seasons with the team, which has earned him the third-largest contract in MLB history. Guerrero is batting .256/.333/.333 with three doubles, four RBI and three runs scored over 45 plate appearances in 10 games this season.

Butler went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two RBI in Sunday's loss to the Rockies.

Butler finally lifted one out with a fifth-inning blast against rookie Chase Dollander. Butler's been heating up at the dish with seven hits over his last three games and owns an impressive 6:5 BB:K through 44 plate appearances so far.

The Mariners are expected to recall Canzone from Triple-A Tacoma prior to Monday's series opener versus the Astros, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Canzone will be joining the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Victor Robles (shoulder), who is headed for the injured list. The 27-year-old Canzone has produced a .861 OPS over eight games with Tacoma this season but struggled during his time in the majors in 2024, slashing .196/.271/.381 with eight home runs and 17 RBI across 188 plate appearances. It's unclear if the Mariners plan to give the left-handed-hitting Canzone regular starts against right-handed pitching, as Seattle could instead deploy a platoon of Luke Raley and Dylan Moore in right field while Robles is on the shelf.

Soderstrom went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Rockies.

Soderstrom gave the Athletics a quick lead with a two-run blast in the first inning for his fourth home run of the year. He's tallied multiple hits and at least one RBI in each of his last three games and is catching some early buzz as a breakout candidate for the 2025 season.

Newcomb did not factor in the decision during a loss to St. Louis in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader. He allowed one run on six hits and three walks over 4.2 innings and struck out five batters.

Newcomb wasn't very efficient but was able to limit the damage and escape a couple of threats. He kept the Cardinals off the board until Masyn Winn's RBI single in the fourth inning. Newcomb has been tagged with 14 hits through 8.2 innings so far, resulting in a 5.19 ERA. His next start is projected to be a road matchup against the White Sox.

Estes (0-2) allowed six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over three innings Sunday to take the loss against the Rockies.

Estes got roughed up for a second straight start, as the Rockies tacked on runs in each inning he pitched. He surrendered a leadoff home run in the first and three more doubles before his day ended. That's now 12 runs allowed on 15 hits over his first seven innings of the season. Estes lines up for a home start against the Mets next weekend should he remain in the rotation going forward.

Dobbins (1-0) allowed two runs on eight hits over five innings in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against St. Louis. He struck out five and earned a win.

Dobbins gave up an RBI double to Brendan Donovan in the first inning and an RBI single to Masyn Winn in the fourth. Overall, Dobbins was able to keep damage limited, and Boston put up 18 runs for an easy win. He threw 63 of 93 pitches for strikes and forced 14 whiffs in his MLB debut, including six with his curveball. Dobbins will likely head back to Triple-A Worcester but could be used as a spot-starter again throughout the season.

Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Rays.

Seager pushed the Rangers ahead in the sixth with a solo shot to right for his first home run and first extra base hit of the year. The lefty slugger has just two hits over his last 16 at-bats and a .179 batting average in the early going.

Robles (shoulder) is likely going to be placed on the injured list with a left shoulder injury, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

Robles suffered a left arm injury while making an acrobatic catch in the bottom of the ninth inning of Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Giants, and it's now understood to be a shoulder injury. The severity of the injury remains unknown, but if Robles does end up on the IL, Dominic Canzone is a candidate to be promoted from Triple-A Tacoma and replace him on Seattle's 26-man roster.

Rocker allowed one run on six hits while striking out one over five innings Sunday against the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.

Rocker looked much better Sunday compared to his last start. The Rays scattered six singles off him, which eventually led to a run in the fourth, but Rocker showed great improvement with his command. He finished at 77 pitches and kept the Rangers in a game they went on to win in walk-off style in the ninth. Rocker will look to take the momentum of this positive start with him on the road against the Mariners next weekend.
