  • Tanner Banks RP | PHI

    White Sox's Tanner Banks: Set for opener duties

    Banks will serve as an opener in Monday's game in Cleveland, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    The White Sox have utilized just four traditional starters thus far and that will continue Monday with Banks receiving an opener assignment. Banks is unscored upon in two appearances this season.

  • Shawn Dubin RP | ARI

    Astros' Shawn Dubin: Starts rehab assignment

    Dubin (forearm) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday.

    Dubin stuck out a pair in a scoreless frame in his first outing with the Space Cowboys. The right-hander missed all of spring training due to injury, so he figures to require a handful of rehab appearances before being considered for a spot in Houston's bullpen or rotation.

  • Daniel Duarte RP | NYM

    Twins' Daniel Duarte: Placed on 15-day IL

    Duarte was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Twins on Sunday, retroactive to April 4, with a right triceps strain.

    Duarte has pitched well out of Minnesota's bullpen this season in yielding just one run over four innings, but he'll now be on the shelf for at last a couple weeks and potentially longer. Jose Miranda has taken his spot on the roster.

  • Royals' James McArthur: Collects another save Sunday

    McArthur secured his second save of the season Sunday against the White Sox. He pitched a scoreless ninth, allowing a walk and a hit while striking out two.

    McArthur gave the White Sox a glimpse of hope by allowing the them to bring the winning run to the plate, but he shut the door on the series by striking out Dominic Fletcher. McArthur converted both save chances over the weekend due in part to Will Smith's early struggles this season and should be in line to be the Royals' primary closer going forward while he's getting the job done.

  • Josh Hader RP | HOU

    Astros' Josh Hader: Secures first save

    Hader allowed a run on one hit and a walk in one inning Sunday and earned a save over Texas.

    After walking Adolis Garcia, Hader moved him up to second base with a wild pitch and eventually saw him score on a Justin Foscue single. Despite the struggles, Hader finished off the 3-1 win and earned his first save as an Astro. He's coughed up four runs over his last three innings, bumping his ERA up to 7.20 through five appearances.

  • Chase Anderson RP | TEX

    Red Sox's Chase Anderson: Notches second save

    Anderson allowed two runs on four hits and a walk over three innings Sunday, striking out one batter and earning a save over the Angels.

    For the second time this month, Anderson secured a three-inning save in a blowout win. Those have also been his only two appearances so far this season. Anderson has produced a 3.00 ERA with a 4:1 K:BB through six innings. He should continue working in a long-relief role.

  • Dennis Santana RP | PIT

    Yankees' Dennis Santana: Logs second save of career

    Santana earned the save Sunday against the Blue Jays, allowing no hits and no walks over 1.2 scoreless innings. He struck out two.

    Santana was given another opportunity Sunday after allowing two runs in his first appearance of 2024 on Friday and delivered a five-out save. The reliever had his contract selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on April 5, but considering his career 5.18 ERA, Santana will likely be at the back end of the Yankees' bullpen and see minimal high-leverage work moving forward.

  • Rays' Shawn Armstrong: Two-inning save Sunday

    Armstrong pitched two innings, allowing one run on a hit and a walk while striking out one batter and securing a save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Rockies.

    Armstrong was called upon to protect a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the eighth frame, entering the game with no outs and the bases loaded. He was able to escape the inning unscathed before surrendering a run in the bottom of the ninth frame, but he was able to secure his first save of the 2024 campaign. Armstrong has been shaky at best so far this season, giving up five runs (four earned) over 6.1 innings in four appearances with Tampa Bay.

  • Josh Taylor RP | KC

    Royals' Josh Taylor: Transferred to 60-day IL

    Taylor (biceps) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

    Taylor will now be forced to be out of action until at least late May as he recovers from a left biceps injury. The move was made in correspondence with the Royals' acquisition of right-handed reliever from the Pirates on Sunday.

  • Colin Selby RP | BAL

    Royals' Colin Selby: Dealt to Kansas City

    Selby was traded from the Pirates to the Royals on Sunday in exchange for minor-league lefty pitcher Connor Oliver.

    Selby was designated for assignment by Pittsburgh on Tuesday, and he'll now head to his new home in Kansas City. The 26-year-old made two appearances with Triple-A Indianapolis this season, tossing two scoreless innings while striking out a batter. He'll likely begin his tenure with the Royals at Triple-A Omaha, where he'll look to impress in order to earn a shot with the major-league roster down the road.
