Chapman allowed a hit in a scoreless inning during Sunday's win over the White Sox. He earned a save and struck out two.

Chapman gave up his first run of the year and took a loss Saturday but quickly bounced back. He coughed up a two-out single to Andrew Vaughn but punched out Michael Taylor to close out the 3-1 win. Chapman owns an impressive 1.29 ERA with an 11:4 K:BB through seven innings.

Chapman (2-1) was tagged for his first loss Saturday as the Red Sox fell 3-2 to the White Sox. He allowed a run on a walk and a single while striking out one over a third of an inning.

Chapman had not allowed a run over his first six appearances. He gave up a leadoff walk to Luis Robert, who eventually stole second base and scored on a Brooks Baldwin walk-off single. Through six innings this season, Chapman has a 1.50 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB while converting both his save chances.

The Royals recalled Sisk from Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

Sisk will make his MLB debut if/when he gets into a game with the Royals. Kansas City added the lefty reliever to its 40-man roster over the winter after he submitted a 1.56 ERA and 1.03 WHIP while striking out 81 batters in 57.2 innings with Omaha in 2024. He had gotten off to a nice start with Omaha this season, having yet to allow a run while striking out four over 4.2 innings.

The Royals placed Long on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to left elbow inflammation.

Long's move to the IL comes after he gave up three earned runs on two hits and two walks over one inning in relief in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians. The elbow issue may have contributed to the left-hander's struggles this season, as he's turned in a 12.86 ERA and 2.43 WHIP across seven appearances. Kansas City called up southpaw Evan Sisk from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move.

The Red Sox selected Fulmer's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

After missing the entire 2024 season while recovering from UCL revision surgery, Fulmer had staged a successful comeback at Triple-A to begin the current campaign. Over 11.2 innings across three appearances (two starts), Fulmer gave up six runs (four earned) on seven hits and six walks while striking out 18 batters. Though he'll be joining the 26-man active roster as a replacement for starter Richard Fitts (pectoral), Fulmer is likely to work out of the Boston bullpen as a long-relief option.

Smith struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn a hold during Saturday's 6-3 win over Kansas City.

With the Guardians up 3-1, Smith opened the top of the eighth inning with the task of getting the lead to closer Emmanuel Clase. He made quick work of the Royals for his fifth hold, before Cleveland stretched the lead with three runs in the bottom of the frame. Smith has allowed two unearned runs over eight outings, giving up three hits and three walks while striking out nine over 7.2 innings.

The Rays optioned Sulser to Triple-A Durham on Sunday.

Sulser's stint with the big club lasted just two days, with the right-hander making his lone appearance in a 5-4 loss to Atlanta on Saturday, when he was the pitcher of record after giving up two earned runs on four hits and one walk over one inning of relief. In a corresponding move, Tampa Bay recalled right-hander Joe Boyle from Triple-A in advance of his start in Sunday's series finale.

The Rays recalled Boyle from Triple-A Durham to start Sunday against Atlanta, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Tampa Bay doesn't have an opening in its rotation, but Boyle will be called upon to take the hill Sunday in order to provide the team's other five starters with an additional day of rest. The right-hander was unable to secure a roster spot with the Rays coming out of spring training, but he'll get a call-up after allowing two earned runs on five hits while striking out 10 over eight innings across his two starts with Durham. However, the control problems that plagued him during his 13 appearances (10 starts) with the Athletics last season once again cropped up at Durham, as Boyle has walked six of the 35 batters he has faced in the minors.

Long allowed three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out one over an inning Saturday against the Guardians.

Long has struggled to begin the season, giving up 12 runs (10 earned) with five walks in seven innings. He was a productive reliever for the Royals last season with a 3.16 ERA and 44:17 K:BB in 42.2 regular-season innings, so he may get some time to turn his season around. However, he may be limited to low-leverage situations for a while.

Gusto (1-1) took the loss Saturday against the Angels, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk over four innings. He struck out six.

The Angels got to Gusto early, opening the first inning with three straight hits to plate two runs. The 26-year-old Gusto would manage to stop the bleeding until Nolan Schanuel's solo home run in the fourth. Overall, it was an up-and-down effort for Gusto in his first big-league start -- he had allowed just one run in eight innings out of the bullpen while striking out nine prior to Saturday. Gusto figures to remain in the Astros' rotation due to Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) expected to miss the next six weeks. Gusto is tentatively in line for a tough home matchup with the Padres in his next outing.
