Clayton Beeter RP | WAS
Nationals' Clayton Beeter: MRI comes back clean
Beeter (forearm) had an MRI come back clean and was cleared to resume throwing Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
The right-hander landed on the injured list Sunday due to right forearm soreness, but the quick return to throwing should allow him to avoid a lengthy stay on the shelf. Beeter will be eligible to be reinstated May 8 in Miami, and it's possible he'll be able to return on or shortly after that date.

Tim Hill RP | NYY
Yankees' Tim Hill: Gets hold in win
Hill tossed one inning, allowing no runs on two walks, in the 4-2 win over the Rangers on Monday.
Hill has been very reliable out of the Yankees bullpen this year, allowing only two runs and accumulating four holds in 12 appearances. The left-hander does not throw a lot of strikeouts, but he produces a lot of groundball outs. The 36-year-old has pitched in several high-leverage situations this season due to the Yankees' lack of options after they let Devin Williams and Luke Weaver sign elsewhere this offseason.

Cole Wilcox RP | SEA
Mariners' Cole Wilcox: Allows run in loss
Wilcox threw 1.1 innings and gave up one run on three hits and two walks with one strikeout Monday in the 11-4 loss to the Twins.
Wilcox has now surrendered at least one run in his last four appearances on the mound. The right-hander has been used to pitch multiple innings in five out of his nine appearances this year in more low-leverage situations.

Raisel Iglesias RP | ATL
Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Resumes throwing
Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said Tuesday that Iglesias (shoulder) has resumed throwing, Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.
Weiss added that he expects Iglesias back from the 15-day injured list when first eligible May 5 or shortly after. It's unclear whether Atlanta will ask Iglesias to go out on a brief rehab assignment first. Iglesias landed on the IL a week ago with right shoulder inflammation.

Shaun Anderson RP | LAA
Shaun Anderson: Elects free agency
Anderson elected to become a free agent Tuesday.
Anderson cleared waivers after being removed from the Angels' 40-man roster over the weekend. He could re-sign on a minor-league deal, but the righty is free to negotiate with all teams.

Cam Sanders RP | PIT
Pirates' Cam Sanders: Optioned to Triple-A
The Pirates optioned Sanders to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.
He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Braxton Ashcraft (personal), who will start Tuesday's game versus the Cardinals. Sanders logged a pair of scoreless appearances in his most recent stint with the Pirates.

Jonathan Bowlan RP | PHI
Phillies' Jonathan Bowlan: Back from injured list
The Phillies reinstated Bowlan (groin) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.
The right-hander has been on the shelf the past couple weeks due to a groin strain, but he's ready to rejoin the Phillies after making one scoreless rehab appearance with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Bowlan pitched in seven games prior to the injury and posted a 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 8:1 K:BB over seven innings.

Justin Lawrence RP | WAS
Pirates' Justin Lawrence: Scoreless inning in loss
Lawrence tossed a scoreless inning with one strikeout Monday in the 4-2 loss to the Cardinals.
Lawrence was limited to just 17 appearances last season due to an elbow injury, but Monday's outing marked his 14th already in 2026. The sinker-sweeper pitcher has missed bats consistently, ringing up 16 strikeouts over his first 14 frames. Lawrence is pitching primarily in low-leverage situations for the time being, but that could change if he continues to consistently shut batters down (zero runs allowed in last six appearances).

Greg Weissert RP | BOS
Red Sox's Greg Weissert: Scoreless inning in win
Weissert pitched a scoreless ninth inning during which he allowed one hit in the 5-0 win over the Blue Jays on Monday.
Weissert has tallied 62 or more appearances the last two seasons with the Red Sox and is on pace for that again with 13 trips to the mound over Boston's first 29 games. The right-hander is being used primarily low-leverage situations thus far after blowing nine save opportunities last season, the second most in MLB. Weissert does continue to boast above-average swing-and-miss stuff, however, recording 16 strikeouts across his first 11.2 innings in 2026.
