MLB Player News

White was placed in the concussion protocol following Sunday's victory over the Dodgers, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

He made a spectacular catch to rob Max Muncy of an extra-base hit with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth inning, crashing face-first into the padded outfield wall. White temporarily remained in the contest but was then replaced by Mike Yastrzemski in the bottom of the eighth. White will need to gain clearance in order to play in Atlanta's next game, Tuesday versus the Cubs. If he's diagnosed with a concussion, White will be required to go on the 7-day injured list.

Minter (hip/lat) completed a bullpen session Saturday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Minter was placed on the 15-day injured list prior to Opening Day while he finished up his recovery from March 2025 surgery on his left lat, and though he experienced no setbacks with that injury once he began pitching in minor-league games in early April, he was pulled off the assignment last week when he experienced left hip discomfort. Given that he's already resumed mound work, Minter seems to be bouncing back nicely from the hip issue. He's expected to throw more bullpen sessions before the Mets consider him for a return to game action, though it's unclear if he'll require another extended minor-league assignment prior to being activated.

Senga (back) completed a bullpen session Sunday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Senga appears to have responded well since receiving an epidural to treat his lumbar spine inflammation, which forced him to the injured list April 28. He was able to start throwing again Wednesday, nine days after receiving the injection. Senga has now taken another step forward by getting back on a mound, but he'll still need to face hitters in live batting practice and then likely complete a minor-league rehab assignment before returning from the 15-day injured list. Senga had posted a 9.00 ERA and 1.95 WHIP in five starts prior to landing on the shelf and may not be assured a rotation spot once he's activated.

Schwarber went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Sunday's 6-0 win over Colorado.

Schwarber opened the scoring in the first inning with a 432-foot blast off Tomoyuki Sugano before extending the Phillies' lead to 5-0 with another homer in the second, his 16th of the year, tying Aaron Judge for the major-league lead. Schwarber has been on a tear recently, going deep in four straight games. Overall, he's slashing .227/.353/.597 with 28 runs scored and 27 RBI across 183 plate appearances this season.

Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said after Sunday's 5-2 win over the Nationals that Caissie (triceps) will likely be available following Monday's team off day, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Caissie was scratched from the starting nine ahead of Sunday's contest due to left triceps discomfort, but his removal from the lineup appears to have been mostly as a matter of precaution. Miami added Heriberto Hernandez to the starting nine in Caissie's stead, and he went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday's victory.

Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said that he expects Fairbanks (hand) to return from the 15-day injured list Wednesday when first eligible, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

After checking out fine after throwing a live batting practice session Saturday, Fairbanks has been cleared to join the Marlins for the start of their six-game road trip and should be ready to go for the second game of the club's series in Minnesota. Before hitting the shelf April 28 after experiencing nerve irritation in his right hand, Fairbanks had notched five saves in six chances but had posted a 10.00 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in nine innings over 10 appearances. Fairbanks' underlying numbers (3.48 xERA, 22.0 K-BB%) were more encouraging, however, and he should immediately step back in as Miami's preferred closing option, as none of the Marlins' other relievers have seized control of the ninth inning while he's been on the shelf.

Sanchez (4-2) earned the win Sunday over the Rockies, allowing five hits while striking out seven across seven scoreless innings.

It's Sanchez's second straight scoreless outing, and he's given up just eight hits while striking out 17 over 15 innings in that span. Sanchez's ERA is down to 2.11 through nine starts (55.1 innings) this season with a 1.28 WHIP and 67:14 K:BB. The southpaw will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled to come next week in Pittsburgh.

Jax is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays in Toronto, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

After making his first 11 appearances of the season as a reliever and recording no more than six outs in any of those contests, Jax has gradually gotten more stretched out while starting in his last three outings. He built up to 59 pitches and four innings in his most recent start Thursday in Boston, and if he's able to tack on another inning to his workload Wednesday, Jax will have a shot at qualifying for a win. The Rays haven't indicated whether Jax will remain in a starting role for the long haul, though the team will have a spot in the rotation available to him while both Steven Matz (elbow) and Joe Boyle (elbow) are stuck on the injured list.

Tolle (1-2) took the loss Sunday against the Rays, allowing three runs on seven hits over five innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

The seven hits given up by Tolle on Sunday matched his total allowed across 17.2 innings in his first three starts this season. The left-hander's ERA sits at 2.78 this year with a 0.88 WHIP and 27:6 K:BB over 22.2 innings. Tolle is currently lined up for a tough road matchup in Atlanta his next time out.

Weathers (illness) is slated to start Monday's series opener in Baltimore, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

Weathers was scratched ahead of his previously scheduled start this past Thursday against the Rangers after struggling to bounce back from an illness that surfaced earlier in the week, but the southpaw has since made a full recovery from the ailment. He was able to complete a side session without incident over the weekend and isn't expected to be operating with any restrictions Monday when he takes the hill for his eighth start of the season.
