  • Mariners' Marcelo Perez: On shelf at Double-A

    Double-A Arkansas placed Perez on the 7-day injured list April 2 with a forearm strain, Jonathan Mayo of MLB Pipeline reports.

    The 26-year-old righty logged a 4.31 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 28 strikeouts in 56.1 innings at Double-A in 2025.

  • Royals' Noah Cameron: Lasts 5.2 frames in no-decision

    Cameron did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Guardians, allowing one run on six hits and one walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

    Cameron was unable to finish out the quality start but limited Cleveland to a single run while giving up just one extra-base hit. The left-hander has now surrendered just one run in each of his first two starts of the season, and his 10:2 K:BB over 10.2 frames is also encouraging. A matchup with the White Sox this weekend should provide a solid chance for Cameron to build on his strong start to 2026.

  • Teddy McGraw SP | SEA

    Mariners' Teddy McGraw: Elbow barking again

    McGraw is working his way back from right elbow issues, Jonathan Mayo of MLB Pipeline reports.

    McGraw's inability to stay healthy has defined his pro career thus far. Selected in the third round of the 2023 draft, McGraw has thrown just 37 innings in pro ball due to consistent elbow injuries -- he had Tommy John surgery in 2019 and internal brace in 2023.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Day off Tuesday

    Bohm isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Bohm has gone 6-for-18 with four RBI and a run scored over Philadelphia's last four games, but he'll step out of the lineup for a day, opening up third base for Edmundo Sosa.

  • Gavin Williams SP | CLE

    Guardians' Gavin Williams: Walks five in no-decision

    Williams did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing one run on one hit and five walks over 5.2 innings in a 2-1 win over the Royals. He struck out eight.

    The right-hander continues to showcase his strikeout stuff to open 2026 and now has at least seven strikeouts in each of his first three starts, but he's also issued at least three walks in each outing. Williams has surrendered just five total hits, and as a result, he's successfully walked the tightrope thus far with a 2.04 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. Fourteen walks through 19.2 frames to begin the season is hardly sustainable, however, so Williams will likely need to button up his command a bit in order to maintain his effectiveness.

  • Griffin Hugus SP | SEA

    Mariners' Griffin Hugus: Pro debut delayed

    Hugus recently had Tommy John surgery after injuring his elbow in spring training, Jonathan Mayo of MLB Pipeline reports.

    Per Mayo, Seattle was excited about how Hugus looked early in camp before he blew out his right elbow. Hugus was selected with the 91st pick in last year's draft and will have to wait until 2027 for his pro debut.

  • Sean Murphy C | ATL

    Braves' Sean Murphy: Rehab assignment on tap

    Murphy (hip) is expected to report to Triple-A Gwinnett to begin a rehab assignment Friday, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    The veteran backstop has been building up in simulated games in the lower minors and has now been cleared for game action. Murphy was sidelined for all of spring training while recovering from offseason hip surgery, so his rehab assignment is likely to be lengthy before he's cleared for his 2026 MLB debut.

  • Trey Sweeney SS | DET

    Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Shoulder issue persists

    Sweeney felt discomfort in his right shoulder again Tuesday and is undergoing re-evaluation, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Sweeney resides on the 10-day injured list after starting the season there due to suffering a right shoulder strain at the start of camp. While it seems he was making progress, it appears a setback may have occurred with the discomfort reappearing.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Banged up

    Manager Skip Schumaker said that Jung, who is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, is "a little banged up," Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    It's unclear when the issue first surfaced for Jung, but he finds himself on the bench Tuesday for the second time in the Rangers' past three games. The 28-year-old is expected to be available off the bench, so it appears the unspecified injury isn't a serious concern.

  • Bailey Horn P | DET

    Tigers' Bailey Horn: Beginning rehab assignment

    Horn (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday at Single-A Lakeland, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Horn missed the entirety of spring training while working his way back from an elbow procedure he underwent in the offseason, so he'll likely require an extended stay in the minors before coming off the injured list. Once healthy, the 28-year-old may take a middle-relief role with the big club after posting a 1.59 ERA over 11.1 frames with the Tigers last season.
