Mize did not factor into the decision Friday against the Astros, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out two.

Mize shut out Houston through five innings before serving up a Kyle Tucker solo homer to lead off the sixth. While the Tigers' bullpen couldn't hang onto the lead, it was an impressive outing from Mize after he allowed five runs in a loss to the Yankees in his last start. Overall, the 27-year-old right-hander is 1-1 with a 3.58 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 26:9 K:BB across 37.2 innings this season. Mize is currently lined up for a home matchup with the Marlins in his next start.

Valdez (2-1) earned the win Friday over the Tigers, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out four.

Valdez allowed two runs on a Matt Vierling double in the third inning before blanking Detroit over his final four frames en route to his second victory of the year. It's an encouraging bounce-back effort from Valdez, who allowed five runs in a loss to Seattle in his previous start. The left-hander lowered his ERA to 3.64 with a 1.35 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB across five starts (29.2 innings). Valdez, who has walked only one batter over his past three starts, is currently scheduled for a home matchup with the A's in his next outing.

O'Hoppe isn't in the Angels' lineup Friday versus the Royals.

O'Hoppe will get a breather Friday after tallying six hits across his last three games. While he rests, Matt Thaiss will fill in as Los Angeles' backstop and bat sixth.

The Angels activated Goodrum on Friday.

Goodrum had been with the Rays' Triple-A affiliate when he was DFA'd and later claimed by the Angels, but he will return to the majors as a replacement for Ehire Adrianza (back), who landed on the injured list Friday. Goodrum has experience at every position other than catcher, though he will likely return to the minors once Los Angeles' heavily depleted infield -- which is also missing Brandon Drury (hamstring), Luis Rengifo (illness) and others -- gets healthier.

The Angels placed Adrianza on the 10-day injured list Friday with back spasms, retroactive to Thursday.

Adrianza reported having problems with his lower back Friday, and the issue is apparently severe enough to warrant a trip to the injured list. Niko Goodrum will join the active roster to take Adrianza's spot after being claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Renfroe isn't in the Royals' lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

Renfroe will get a chance to regroup Friday after going 0-for-10 across his last three games. Dairon Blanco will cover right field instead and bat eighth.

Lynch was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Friday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Lynch will return to Omaha after tossing five scoreless innings in a start Sunday against the Rangers and two perfect relief innings Thursday against the Angels. With Alec Marsh (elbow) being activated from the IL on Friday, Lynch was the odd man out in Kansas City. The left-hander has struggled to a 5.86 ERA over 27.2 innings in six starts at Triple-A this season and he'll look to find a groove ahead of his next big-league opportunity.

The Royals reinstated Marsh (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Marsh made his lone rehab start with Triple-A Omaha on May 5, striking out six and giving up one hit and one walk over four shutout innings while throwing 53 pitches. To make room for Marsh, the Royals optioned southpaw Daniel Lynch to Triple-A Omaha. Marsh will take the mound and start in Friday's series opener against the Angels.

Estes will be recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to start Saturday's game against the Mariners, Martin Gallegos of MLB.comreports.

Estes has posted a 6.04 ERA and 1.46 WHIP across 28.1 innings in Triple-A, but he will come up from the minors to make his season debut with Oakland nonetheless. The 22-year-old right-hander gave up eight earned runs in 10 major-league innings last season, and he isn't a recommended streaming option for Saturday.

The Mariners reinstated Woo (elbow) from the 15-day injured list prior to his start Friday versus Oakland.

Woo will be making his season debut after missing the first month-plus of the season due to right elbow inflammation. The 24-year-old was spectacular during his rehab assignment, striking out 17 batters in 11.1 scoreless innings, and he'll get a chance to stay hot against a below-average Athletics lineup. Tyson Miller was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
