Santos (0-1) failed to retire a batter, allowing three runs on two hits and a walk to take the loss Saturday versus the Marlins.

Santos dazzled with a perfect inning versus the Marlins in his major-league debut Thursday, but his second outing was significantly worse. He allowed a tiebreaking two-run home run to Jesus Aguilar, then allowed Garrett Cooper to get aboard with a single. Wandy Peralta relieved Santos and allowed the inherited runner to score. The 21-year-old Santos has a fiery fastball and a good slider and should continue to pitch in mid-to-high leverage roles if he can avoid making too many mistakes.

The Rangers recalled Sborz from their taxi squad ahead of Sunday's game against the White Sox.

He'll join the bullpen as a replacement for Kyle Cody (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Before being optioned off the 26-man active roster April 16, Sborz appeared in six games for Texas and gave up four earned runs over five innings.

Feyereisen tossed a scoreless seventh inning and picked up a hold in his third consecutive appearance in Saturday's victory over the Cubs.

Feyereisen has not allowed an earned run in 11 appearances this season, and his strong start has helped him secure a key role in the Brewers' bullpen, allowing him to pick up a hold in three of the club's last four wins. He's still not in a very fantasy-friendly role with Josh Hader and Devin Williams ahead of him on the depth chart, but he is presumably in position to get a save opportunity should both fellow relievers be unavailable in a given game.

Manager Davey Martinez said Suero (oblique) is "doing great" and is simulating throws, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Suero was placed on the injured list April 18 and is eligible to return May 1. Given that he has yet to actually throw to this point, that may not be realistic. However, it appears that the team is optimistic about the way his recovery is going.

The Rays recalled Patino from their taxi squad Sunday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Patino will be serving as an opener ahead of primary pitcher Josh Fleming in the Rays' series finale Sunday versus the Blue Jays. As a 20-year-old with the Padres last season, Patino started in one of his 11 appearances and posted a 5.19 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and a 21:14 K:BB in 17.1 innings.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Fulmer would be making a shortened start Sunday against the Royals, though he didn't specify how long the right-hander might work, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Considering that Fulmer is pitching on three days' rest after covering four frames (60 pitches) in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates, the fact that his workload is being restricted for a second straight outing doesn't come as a major surprise. Hinch noted that Tarik Skubal is scheduled to pitch Sunday, but it's unclear if he'll act as a true bulk reliever behind Fulmer or merely cover an inning or two.

Jansen earned the save against the Padres on Saturday, throwing 1.1 scoreless innings and yielding one walk while striking out two.

Jansen has now been used for more than one frame in three of his eight appearances this season. He's thrived in the early going, successfully finishing five of six save opportunities while registering a 1.93 ERA and 12:7 K:BB across 9.1 innings. The veteran closer's velocity has ticked up a touch this season, and he appears to still have plenty left in the tank in his 12th MLB campaign.

Loaisiga recorded his first career save in Saturday's 2-1 win over Cleveland, throwing 1.1 scoreless innings.

Aroldis Chapman had pitched on two straight days and three of the last four, as had Chad Green, creating a save opportunity for someone else in the Yankees' bullpen. Loaisiga has had a great beginning to the season with a 1.35 ERA and 13:1 K:BB through 13.1 innings over nine appearances, but it might take some significant attrition ahead of him on the depth chart to make him a consistent source of saves.

Yarbrough served as a bulk-inning reliever, pitching 5.2 scoreless innings on three hits and one walk while striking out six in the win Saturday over the Blue Jays. He did not factor in the decision.

Yarbrough once again entered the game as a bulk-inning reliever after Brent Honeywell pitched the first inning. Yarbrough dealt 5.2 scoreless innings and six strikeouts for his best performance of the season. The 29-year-old didn't receive the win, but he kept the Rays in the game for what led to the win. He's pitched much better in 10.2 innings as a bulk-inning reliever with a 0.88 ERA compared to 16.2 innings as a traditional starter with a 6.48 ERA.

Tate pitched two perfect innings with no strikeouts in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Athletics.

After Wade LeBlanc and Tyler Wells combined to give up seven runs in the first four innings, the Orioles didn't have much of a chance at a win. Tate at least made sure it didn't get worse, as he pitched the seventh and eighth innings cleanly. He threw 12 of his 19 pitches for strikes. The 26-year-old right-hander has a 2.45 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 3:2 K:BB across 7.1 innings this season. He's picked up a pair of holds and one loss in eight outings.
