  • Josh Hader RP | HOU

    Astros' Josh Hader: Shaky in non-save situation

    Hader allowed two earned runs on two hits and no walks while striking out one across one inning Tuesday against the Tigers.

    Hader entered the game in the ninth inning with Houston up 6-2. He got the first two outs without incident, but then served up a double and a two-run home run. These were the first earned runs Hader has surrendered since Opening Day, and he owns a stellar 20:3 K:BB across 15 frames.

  • Emmanuel Clase RP | CLE

    Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Picks up fourth win

    Clase (4-0) allowed a hit in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the win Tuesday against the Twins. He did not strike out or walk a batter.

    It wasn't a save situation, but the right-hander was called upon for the top of the ninth inning of a 1-1 tie and was awarded the win after Kyle Manzardo clubbed a walk-off homer in the bottom of the frame. Cade Smith -- who has converted Cleveland's past three saves -- worked the eighth inning Tuesday, which is an indication that Clase is still firmly in the mix at closer. His 6.57 ERA and 1.95 WHIP for the campaign may mean that he and Smith split the role for a bit, but Clase has now delivered two straight scoreless outings after dealing with a bout of shoulder discomfort.

  • Will Vest RP | DET

    Tigers' Will Vest: First blown save against Astros

    Vest blew the save Tuesday against Houston after giving up three runs on five hits and one walk with no strikeouts in one inning.

    It was the first blown save of the campaign by Vest, who entered the game with the Tigers hanging onto a 2-1 lead in the sixth inning. Vest yielded a Yainer Diaz single that drove in a pair of runs, one of which was inherited from Reese Olson, and he allowed two more runs in the seventh frame before being pulled. The right-hander still sports a 2.77 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB while converting three of his four save chances over 13 innings, so he should continue splitting save opportunities with Tommy Kahnle in Detroit's bullpen.

  • Ryan Gusto P | MIA

    Astros' Ryan Gusto: Fans six in no-decision

    Gusto didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Tigers after allowing two runs on four hits and two walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out six.

    Gusto tied a season high with six punchouts, and he was also able to generate 12 whiffs Tuesday. However, his two walks represented a season worst, and he couldn't get through the fifth inning despite throwing a season-high 90 pitches. Over 27 innings in 2025, the rookie right-hander has still been a pleasant surprise for the Astros with a 3.00 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB so far. With Lance McCullers (forearm) on the verge of being activated from the injured list, Gusto is still in danger of losing his rotation spot.

  • Jacob Lopez RP | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Lopez: Labors in loss Tuesday

    Lopez (0-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Rangers after allowing three runs on six hits and four walks in 2.2 innings. He struck out four.

    Although Lopez was able to escape a bases-loaded jam in the first inning during his first start of the season, he was already up to 37 pitches after one frame. He also allowed a leadoff baserunner in each of his three innings of work Tuesday. The left-hander has a 3.86 ERA over seven innings so far, but his 9:7 K:BB and 2.57 WHIP are major causes for concern. It remains to be seen if Lopez will get another chance to start for the Athletics in the absence of J.T. Ginn (elbow), but the former's next appearance tentatively lines up for this weekend in a soft matchup against Miami.

  • Royals' Carlos Estevez: Picks up save Tuesday

    Estevez allowed a hit in a scoreless inning while earning a save against the Rays on Tuesday. He struck out one batter.

    Estevez gave up a single to Jose Caballero but had no trouble finishing the 3-1 win. It was Estevez's eighth save in 10 chances, and he's now converted three straight. He dropped his ERA to 2.57 with a 12:9 K:BB across 14 frames.

  • Beau Brieske RP | DET

    Tigers' Beau Brieske: Beginning assignment Wednesday

    Brieske (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment at High-A West Michigan on Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Right ankle inflammation has kept Brieske on the injured list since April 18, and the Tigers will now look to get him a few reps in the minors before he's eligible to return May 3. The 27-year-old has allowed seven runs in just 7.1 innings this season, and he'll likely pitch in middle relief once activated.

  • Gregory Santos RP | SEA

    Mariners' Gregory Santos: Transferred to 60-day IL

    Santos (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list by Seattle on Tuesday.

    Santos is dealing with right knee inflammation. The Mariners needed his 40-man roster spot in order to select Samad Taylor's contract from Triple-A Tacoma.

  • Cody Bolton RP | HOU

    Guardians' Cody Bolton: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Guardians optioned Bolton to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Bolton was in the majors for just one day and yielded three runs over two innings in his lone appearance. He's being sent out in favor of fresh bullpen help.

  • Joey Cantillo SP | CLE

    Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Quick return to big leagues

    The Guardians recalled Cantillo from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    The left-hander was optioned to Columbus on Monday, but he's eligible to be recalled a day later since Paul Sewald (shoulder) was placed on the injured list. Cantillo has been an effective bullpen piece for Cleveland early this year and has a 2.35 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB across 15.1 innings.
