  • Paul Sewald RP | DET

    Guardians' Paul Sewald: To IL with shoulder strain

    The Guardians placed Sewald on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right shoulder strain, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Sewald was forced to depart an appearance Monday against the Twins due to the injury and it will cost him at least the next couple weeks of action. The veteran reliever had been roughed up for five runs over 3.2 innings covering his last five outings.

  • Paxton Schultz RP | WAS

    Blue Jays' Paxton Schultz: Returns to Triple-A

    The Blue Jays optioned Schultz to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

    The right-hander was called up by Toronto on April 20 and struck out eight over 4.1 scoreless frames in his MLB debut that day, but he'll head back to Triple-A after giving up three runs across 2.1 innings Sunday at Yankee Stadium. Schultz is likely to get another look in the big leagues at some point this season, but for now he'll return to Buffalo.

  • Kade Strowd P | BAL

    Orioles' Kade Strowd: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Orioles optioned Strowd to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

    He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Kyle Gibson, who will start Tuesday's game versus the Yankees. Strowd was with the big club for only one day and did not make an appearance.

  • Devin Williams RP | NYM

    Yankees' Devin Williams: Pitches clean inning in relief

    Williams struck out one batter in a scoreless inning in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles.

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced Sunday that Williams was being temporarily removed as the team's closer after the right-hander gave up three earned runs in consecutive appearances. Williams got a chance to work in a lower-leverage situation Monday, as New York trailed by one in the eighth inning when he entered the game. He had little trouble dispatching of the three Orioles batters he faced, needing 14 pitches (nine strikes) to retire the side in order. If Williams is able to smooth things out and put together a string of effective outings, he could move back into the closer role in due time.

  • Bryse Wilson RP | CHW

    White Sox's Bryse Wilson: Set to work behind opener

    Wilson is expected to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Tyler Gilbert in Tuesday's game against the Brewers in Chicago, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Gilbert made one-inning starts as an opener this past Friday and Saturday, and he'll likely be in line for a similar workload Tuesday before turning the game over to Wilson. After Martin Perez (shoulder) landed on the injured list April 19, Wilson was called upon to make his first start of the season last Wednesday against the Twins and took a no-decision while giving up one earned run on five hits and three walks over 2.2 innings. He tossed 55 pitches in the start and could push into the 60-to-75 range Tuesday in what's essentially his second turn through the White Sox rotation.

  • Jake Junis RP | TEX

    Guardians' Jakob Junis: Avoids injury

    Junis allowed one hit and struck out one over two scoreless innings in Monday's 11-1 loss to the Twins.

    Junis, who entered after starter Gavin Williams lasted just two innings, took a comebacker off his left quad in the third inning. He was down for a brief time while trainers assessed the right-hander and was deemed fit to continue. He got out of that inning and set down the side in order in the fourth. Junis has been a useful arm out of the bullpen, posting a 1.93 ERA with just one walk over 14 innings.

  • Josh Hader RP | HOU

    Astros' Josh Hader: Picks up save Monday

    Hader earned a save against the Tigers on Monday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters in a scoreless inning of work.

    Hader inherited a three-run lead in the ninth frame and went right after each batter he faced, throwing 12 of his 14 total pitches for strikes. The veteran closer did give up a two-out double, but that proved to be a minor inconvenience as Hader wrapped up his eighth save in eight chances. After posting a disappointing 3.80 ERA last season, Hader has been dominant so far in 2025, allowing just one run on seven hits while registering a 19:3 K:BB over 14 innings covering 12 appearances.

  • Jacob Lopez RP | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Lopez: Slated to start Tuesday

    Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said that Lopez will start Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America reports.

    Lopez has worked out of the bullpen in all three of his appearances with the Athletics and hasn't recorded more than five outs on any occasion, but he had been getting stretched out as a starter at Triple-A Las Vegas before being recalled Saturday. The lefty covered five innings in both of his most recent two appearances and delivered his best outing yet prior to his promotion, striking out 10 batters and allowing no runs on four hits and two walks in an April 12 contest. Lopez could end up getting multiple turns through the big-league rotation while J.T. Ginn (elbow) is on the shelf.

  • Mason Miller SP | SD

    Athletics' Mason Miller: Secures ninth save

    Miller issued a walk in a scoreless inning and earned a save against Texas on Monday. He struck out one batter.

    Miller put Marcus Semien on base with a four-pitch walk to begin the ninth inning but avoided any danger and closed out the 2-1 win. Miller has now converted all nine of his save chances this season. He's delivered two straight scoreless appearances after coughing up two runs against the White Sox on Friday. Miller owns a terrific 22:2 K:BB with a 1.64 ERA through 11 innings.

  • Felix Bautista RP | BAL

    Orioles' Felix Bautista: Picks up save

    Bautista struck out two batters in a perfect inning and earned a save against the Yankees on Monday.

    Bautista threw eight of 14 pitches for strikes and had no trouble retiring the Yankees' 1-2-3 batters to close out the 4-3 win. He's earned a save in three straight appearances and has converted all four of his chances this season. Bautista's six-inning scoreless streak has dropped his ERA to 2.25 with a 10:6 K:BB through eight frames.
