  • Slade Cecconi SP | CLE

    Guardians' Slade Cecconi: Rebounds with six shutout frames

    Cecconi took a no-decision Sunday against the Cubs, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk in six innings. He struck out six.

    The right-hander bounced back in a big way following his season debut, when he surrendered six runs in 4.1 innings against the Mariners. Cecconi yielded a lone hit and fired 55 of his 85 pitches for strikes Sunday, and he perhaps benefitted from the elements of a chilly afternoon at Progressive Field in Cleveland. Cecconi has a difficult assignment in Atlanta slated for his next start, which might limit his streaming appeal.

  • Carlos Santana 1B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Carlos Santana: Leaves with apparent injury

    Santana was removed from Sunday's game against Atlanta due to an apparent injury, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    The veteran first baseman appeared to tweak something during his first plate appearance but remained in the game, only to be replaced by a pinch runner after hitting a single. Santana can be considered day-to-day for now, but his status should be updated in the near future.

  • Masyn Winn SS | STL

    Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Remaining on bench Sunday

    Winn (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Winn is sitting for a second straight game Sunday after departing Friday's contest due to left hip tightness. The shortstop is going through his full pre-game routine and could be back in the starting nine Monday in Washington, per Jones.

  • Edward Cabrera SP | CHC

    Cubs' Edward Cabrera: Extends scoreless streak Sunday

    Cabrera took a no-decision Sunday against the Guardians, allowing no runs on one hit and five walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

    While Cabrera did dominate the Guardians in terms of keeping them out of the hit column, he did struggle to find the plate Sunday. The lack of control prevented him from working deeper into the outing, as the right-hander threw only 51 of his 97 pitches for strikes. It was the ninth time in his career that he lent at least five free passes, but Cabrera has managed to fire 11.2 scoreless innings so far in 2026 ahead of his next scheduled start against Pittsburgh.

  • Addison Barger 3B | TOR

    Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Departs with ankle issues

    Barger was removed from Sunday's game against the White Sox due to bilateral ankle discomfort, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    Barger went 0-for-3 before being replaced by Jesus Sanchez in right field for the bottom of the sixth inning. The severity of the injury is unclear, so Barger should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

  • Joey Lucchesi RP | LAA

    Angels' Joey Lucchesi: DFA'd by Halos

    The Angels designated Lucchesi for assignment Sunday.

    The left-hander signed with the Angels in late March after being let go by the Giants, but he surrendered two runs across 2.1 frames in his first three appearances of the season. Lucchesi was cut loose to free up a roster spot for George Klassen, who was promoted to start Sunday against Seattle.

  • Christian Roa RP | CHC

    Astros' Christian Roa: Back in majors

    The Astros recalled Roa from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday.

    The right-hander was optioned to Sugar Land last Monday after making two relief appearances during the first weekend of the regular season, and he'll rejoin the big club with Hunter Brown (shoulder) landing on the injured list. Roa should fill a low-leverage role while up with the big club.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Out of lineup for Game 2

    Schneemann is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Cubs.

    Schneeman went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts during Game 1, dropping his slash line for the season to .192/.192/.346 through eight contests. Steven Kwan is handling center field in the nightcap while Angel Martinez starts in left.

  • Kyle Manzardo 1B | CLE

    Guardians' Kyle Manzardo: On bench for nightcap

    Manzardo is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Cubs.

    Manzardo went 0-for-3 with a walk during the matinee, extending his hitless streak to six games. He'll head to the bench for Game 2 while Chase DeLauter serves as the designated hitter, opening up right field for David Fry.

  • Oswald Peraza 2B | LAA

    Angels' Oswald Peraza: Not starting Sunday

    Peraza is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Peraza started the previous five games and will take a seat Sunday after going 3-for-16 with a walk, a double and a stolen base during that span. Adam Frazier is starting at the keystone and batting ninth in the series finale versus Seattle.
