  • Duncan Davitt SP | CHW

    White Sox's Duncan Davitt: Sent to Charlotte

    The White Sox optioned Davitt to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

    Davitt made two appearances in the Cactus League this spring and didn't allow an earned run over four innings. He'll officially begin the 2026 campaign at Charlotte, where he turned in a 5.03 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 48.1 frames last season.

  • Trey Yesavage SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Limited workload to start season

    Yesavage could face a workload restriction to begin the season, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The Blue Jays have been pitching Yesavage in live batting practice sessions rather than games so far this spring, and there's no timeline for when he will appear in a Grapefruit League contest. Manager John Schneider noted Friday that "we still view him as a starter," but the righty could be limited to 3-to-4 innings per start early in the season. Toronto is being careful with Yesavage's workload after he threw 139.2 innings across all levels in 2025, including the postseason -- a 46.1-inning jump from his final collegiate season in 2024.

  • Yorman Gomez SP | CLE

    Guardians' Yorman Gomez: Removed from big-league camp

    The Guardians optioned Gomez to minor-league camp Friday.

    Gomez was added to the 40-man roster over the winter but never had a real chance to win an Opening Day roster spot. The righty coughed up four runs on five hits and a 1:4 K:BB over 3.1 innings in Cactus League play.

  • Guardians' Austin Peterson: Cut from big-league camp

    The Guardians optioned Peterson (triceps) to minor-league camp Friday.

    Peterson suffered a right triceps strain in late February and will not be ready for the start of the season. Once healthy, he'll be ticketed for the rotation at Triple-A Columbus.

  • Jose Fermin SP | LAA

    Angels' Jose Fermin: Sent to minors camp

    The Angels optioned Fermin to minor-league camp Friday.

    The 24-year-old has had a rough spring, yielding five runs on four hits and four walks over 3.2 innings. Fermin made 40 appearances for the Halos last season and should still play a role in their bullpen in 2026.

  • Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Remains shut down from throwing

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Friday that Tiedemann (elbow) has yet to resume a throwing program, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Tiedemann was shut down a couple weeks ago after feeling left elbow soreness following a bullpen session. An MRI cleared the lefty of structural damage, and Schneider noted that Tiedemann could be cleared to resume throwing "hopefully in the next couple of days."

  • Shane Bieber SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Shane Bieber: No timetable for mound work

    Bieber (forearm) had a heavy flat-ground throwing day Friday, but there remains no timeline for when he will throw from a mound, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Friday that "all reports are good" on Bieber, who is "champing at the bit." It's clear, however, that Toronto will continue to proceed cautiously with the right-hander as he works his way back from last year's forearm fatigue. Bieber has already been ruled out for Opening Day, and given where he's at in his throwing program, a minimum stay on the injured list seems unlikely.

  • Jake Miller SP | DET

    Tigers' Jake Miller: Cut from major-league camp

    The Tigers optioned Miller (hip) to minor-league camp Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Miller is still recovering from surgery on both hips and did not make any Grapefruit League appearances. He will get a late start to the minor-league season, as well, and should eventually land at Double-A Erie.

  • Zach Eflin SP | BAL

    Orioles' Zach Eflin: Rise in velocity in spring debut

    Eflin (back) allowed one hit and one walk in two scoreless innings during Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays. He struck out three.

    It was an impressive outing by Eflin, who made his first game appearance since undergoing back surgery last year. The 31-year-old right-hander even showcased some increased velocity, with his fastball topping out at 94 mph after averaging 91.9 mph the past two seasons. If all continues to go smoothly during spring training, Eflin remains on track to dodge the injured list and be part of Baltimore's Opening Day rotation to begin 2026, per Jake Rill of MLB.com.

  • Payton Tolle SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Payton Tolle: Dynamic relief outing

    Tolle allowed one hit and one walk while striking out seven over three innings of relief in Tuesday's spring game against the Yankees.

    This was the best of three Grapefruit League outings for Tolle, who entered as a reliever and upped his pitch count reached 44 (28 strikes). It was his second straight relief outing, but he remains in the mix for a rotation spot along with Connelly Early and Johan Oviedo (the frontrunner). Red Sox manager Alex Cora was enthused by the performance and the results of Tolle's curveball, which along with his changeup, could make the fastball play better.
