Burnes didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Milwaukee, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks across five innings. He struck out five.

After being dealt to Baltimore this offseason, Burnes took on his former team for his fourth start of the campaign. Burnes' outing started roughly, as he gave up a solo homer and a double to the first two batters he faced -- William Contreras and Rhys Hoskins. He settled in afterward, retiring eight of his next nine batters, but still ended up allowing a season-high three runs. Burnes has surrendered long balls in three of his four starts in 2024 and owns a 9.5 K/9 through 23.2 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to start against the Royals, who rank top five in MLB in home runs, RBI and stolen bases, Saturday.

Nastrini is expected to be called up from Triple-A Charlotte and start Chicago's series opener against the Royals on Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Nastrini appears set to make his major-league debut with the White Sox, joining the big-league roster after producing an inflated 7.71 ERA over seven innings in two starts with Charlotte so far this season. The right-hander will look to make the most of his opportunity against a red-hot Royals team.

Canzone was removed from Sunday's game against the Cubs with an apparent shoulder injury, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Canzone suffered the injury during the second inning when he collided with the wall in left field while making a catch. The 26-year-old didn't have a plate appearance prior to the injury and should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that LeMahieu (foot) could begin rehab assignment once the club finishes up the current road trip Wednesday in Toronto, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

The 35-year-old is traveling with the Yankees on the road trip and has continued to progress in his rehab work, with game action now seemingly on the horizon. LeMahieu was healthy for most of spring training before suffering the foot fracture in mid-March, so he shouldn't require an extended rehab assignment and could join the Yankees before the end of April.

Lowe (oblique) will play in two more extended spring training games in Port Charlotte, Fla., on Monday and Tuesday, and if all goes well, he could soon be sent to Triple-A Durham on a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

Lowe was limited to only two Grapefruit League games; first the outfielder was shelved with left hip inflammation, and then he suffered a Grade 1 right oblique strain just as he was nearing his return. With that, he is expected to need something close to a full spring training's worth of at-bats during his rehab assignment, which likely pushes his 2024 debut to early May. Lowe broke out last season at the age of 25, batting .292 with 20 homers and 32 steals, and he will be a lineup fixture for Tampa Bay upon his return.

Perez was removed from Sunday's game against the Mets with left groin and hip injuries, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

Perez started at catcher Sunday and went 1-for-2 with a double before being lifted from the contest after a collision at home plate. The specifics of the injury are unclear, so the 33-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the White Sox.

Single-A Dunedin placed Barriera (arm) on its 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Barriera landed on the IL just three days after he exited his season debut with Dunedin midway through the second inning due to an apparent left arm injury. The 20-year-old southpaw is facing an unclear timeline for a return to the mound.

Manoah (shoulder) struck out four and was charged with four earned runs on eight hits and one walk over 3.1 innings in his second minor-league rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Syracuse.

Manoah was far from dominant Saturday, but he still took a big step forward while shifting his rehab assignment to a higher level of competition. In his first outing April 7 with Single-A Dunedin, Manoah retired only five of 16 batters while throwing just 26 strikes on 58 pitches, but he did a better job of finding the zone Saturday. He still spotted only 48 of his 78 pitches for strikes, though, so despite looking to be fully ramped up from a workload standpoint, Manoah will probably need to make further improvements with his command and control before he returns from the 15-day injured list and receives a look in Toronto's rotation. Yariel Rodriguez should stick around as the Blue Jays' No. 5 starting pitcher for the time being.

Cole (elbow) played catch Thursday, MLB.com reports.

Cole played catch for the second time since being placed on the 60-day injured list March 28 with nerve irritation and edema in his right elbow. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that the ace hurler's session Thursday "went well," though it's not yet clear when Cole will next throw. The right-hander isn't eligible to come off the injured list until late May, and the organization isn't expected to push him to be ready by then, so he'll likely progress slowly through his throwing program.

Bradish (elbow) said Sunday that he's set to begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Bowie around the middle of the week, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. "Kind of treating [the rehab assignment] as my spring training, just working on some different mechanical things," Bradish said.

Bradish said he experienced no setbacks with his right elbow nor noticed any downturn in his velocity while throwing bullpen sessions and facing hitters in a live batting practice session this past week, so he'll move on to the final phase of his recovery program for his UCL sprain. Because he didn't pitch at all in spring training after he was diagnosed with the injury in mid-February, Bradish will presumably need at least three rehab outings or simulated games to get stretched back out. He should be ready to return from the 15-day injured list to make his 2024 debut with the Orioles in the first or second week of May.
