The Yankees optioned Gil to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after his start in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Astros.

Gil was tagged with a loss after he tossed four innings and allowing six earned runs on five hits and three walks. The right-hander was coming off a scoreless outing in Boston on Tuesday, when he tossed 6.1 innings while striking out two. Gil now owns a 1-2 record while posting a 6.05 ERA and 1.34 WHIP with nine punchouts over 19.1 innings in four starts with New York in 2026. The Yankees haven't yet named a replacement in the rotation for Gil.

Lowder did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Tigers. He allowed two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out seven across five innings.

Lowder put the Reds on the back foot early after giving up a two-run double to Kerry Carpenter in the first inning. Lowder managed to settle in thereafter, keeping the Tigers off the board over the next four frames before exiting the game with the Reds up 3-2, but he did not come away with the win after Detroit scored six runs over the seventh and eighth innings. Lowder has given up two earned runs or less in four of his first six starts of the season, and he sits at a 3.18 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB across 34 innings. He's lined up to start next week on the road against the Pirates.

Carpenter went 2-for-5 with a two-run double and a run scored during the Tigers' 8-3 win over the Reds on Sunday.

Carpenter opened Sunday's scoring with a two-run double in the first inning before coming home to score in the seventh on a sacrifice fly from Matt Vierling. Carpenter has logged at least one hit in four of his last five games, and over that span he has gone 5-for-16 (.313) with two home runs, five RBI and three runs scored.

Lee went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run during the Tigers' 8-3 win over the Reds on Sunday.

Lee didn't start in Sunday's game, but he came in to pinch hit for Colt Keith in the seventh inning, and the move paid off for the Tigers when Lee took the second pitch he saw from Sam Moll deep to center field for a two-run homer. It was the first major-league home run of Lee's career, and the 23-year-old should continue to spend time with the big club for as long as Zach McKinstry (hip/abdomen) is on the 10-day injured list.

Snell (shoulder) will draw another start with Single-A Ontario on Tuesday.

Snell will be on the mound for the second outing of his minor-league rehab assignment. The southpaw gave up two runs (one earned) on three hits and a walk while throwing 21 or his 32 total pitches for strikes in his first start with Ontario on Wednesday. Snell is expected to slowly work his way up to 75 pitches or five innings on the mound during his rehab assignment before he'd potentially be activated from the 15-day injured list at some point in May, and Tuesday's outing will be another step in that direction.

Torkelson went 3-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run during Detroit's 8-3 win over Cincinnati on Sunday.

Torkelson extended the Tigers' lead to 5-3 in the seventh inning by blasting a solo home run off Pierce Johnson. Torkelson has gone deep in each of his last five games, a complete turnaround from how he started the 2026 season, as he failed to go deep in each of his first 22 contests of the campaign. Tuesday's series opener against Atlanta will be his opportunity to extend the homer streak to six games.

Torres went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and two additional runs scored during the Tigers' 8-3 win over the Reds on Sunday.

Torres came home to score in both the first and seventh innings before extending the Tigers' lead to five runs with a two-run long ball off Jose Franco in the eighth. It was Torres' second home run of the season, with his first taking place April 4 against the Cardinals. He is slashing .250/.382/.330 with nine RBI and 18 runs scored across 123 plate appearances this season.

Dobbins (knee) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Thursday in Pittsburgh, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The right-hander will be making his Cardinals debut Thursday after opening the season on the shelf while continuing to recover from a torn ACL in his right knee that he suffered last July. Dobbins has made five starts with Triple-A Memphis during his minor-league rehab assignment, producing a 4.37 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with 19 punchouts over 22.2 innings. The Cardinals are expected to temporarily transition to a six-man rotation to make room for Dobbins, who will likely need to perform well in his initial opportunities with the big club to ensure he sticks around in a starting role when St. Louis eventually scales back its rotation to five members.

Pirates manager Don Kelly said that Dotel will be utilized as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Mason Montgomery in Monday's home game against the Cardinals, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Monday had been Braxton Ashcraft's (personal) turn in the rotation, but he won't be eligible to rejoin the Pirates until Tuesday after recently getting placed on the bereavement/medical emergency list. The Pirates will thus turn to Dotel to cover extended innings in Monday's series opener. Dotel has appeared in two contests since being called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on April 19, giving up one run on two hits and three walks while striking out one batter over 2.2 innings. He had previously gotten stretched out to 5.2 innings over his three starts at Triple-A Indianapolis this season prior to being promoted earlier this month.

Montgomery will operate as the Pirates' opening pitcher in Monday's series opener against the Cardinals, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Montgomery will serve as Pittsburgh's opener for the second time this season, having tossed a scoreless first inning in the team's 2-0 win over Washington on April 15. The southpaw has recorded seven straight scoreless appearances, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out 11 over 6.2 innings during that stretch. Wilber Dotel is expected to follow Montgomery on the mound, handling the bulk role against St. Louis on Monday.
