Andrew Kittredge RP | BAL
Orioles' Andrew Kittredge: Makes another rehab appearance
Kittredge (knee) tossed one scoreless inning, allowing two hits while striking out a batter in Triple-A Norfolk's loss against Nashville on Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Kittredge threw all nine of his pitches for strikes in the inning, completing his second appearance out of the bullpen with Norfolk on his rehab assignment. The relief pitcher has missed the entirety of the 2025 campaign while on the 15-day injured list after he underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in early March. Kittredge appears to be on the cusp of an activation and may require just one more outing in Triple-A before potentially joining the Orioles' roster.

Astros' Logan VanWey: Returns to Triple-A
The Astros optioned VanWey to Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday.

Astros' Shawn Dubin: Comes back from IL
The Astros reinstated Dubin (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.
Houston optioned fellow righty reliever Logan VanWey to Triple-A Sugar Land to open up a spot in the bullpen for Dubin, who had been on the shelf all season due to right shoulder inflammation. After giving up just one earned run while striking out nine over five innings during his rehab assignment with Sugar Land and Double-A Corpus Christi, Dubin looks poised to handle a middle-relief role.

Gusto will start Monday's game against the Royals in Houston, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Gusto made his latest appearance in relief May 4 against the White Sox, giving up three unearned runs while recording two outs. Prior to that outing, Gusto had made four consecutive starts and was generally impressive, going 2-1 with a 3.79 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB in 19 innings. The Astros will reopen a starting role for Gusto as a result of Hayden Wesneski (elbow) landing on the injured list Friday.

Twins' Jhoan Duran: Slams door for seventh save
Duran earned a save against the Giants on Saturday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning.

He gave up a bunt single to the first batter he faced, but the runner was quickly wiped out on a double-play groundout. Duran has enjoyed a stellar month of May so far, picking up five saves in six appearances while pitching six scoreless frames and posting a 10:2 K:BB.
