  • Red Sox's Patrick Sandoval: Poised for rehab assignment

    Sandoval (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday at Double-A Portland on Sunday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    Sandoval was held out of the entirety of the spring training schedule as he continues to work his way back from June 2024 internal brace surgery. The Red Sox don't have an opening in the rotation for Sandoval at the moment, and the lefty can't be optioned to the minors once he's activated from the 15-day injured list, so the team could slow-play Sandoval on his rehab assignment until they decide how to deploy him.

  • Emiliano Teodo SP | TEX

    Rangers' Emiliano Teodo: Wild early on at Triple-A

    Teodo (back) has allowed three runs (two earned) on zero hits and three walks while recording three outs through his first two relief appearances at Triple-A Round Rock. He's also hit three batters and has thrown three wild pitches.

    Before the Rangers optioned him to minor-league camp March 2, Teodo had been tending to a back injury early in spring training that prevented him from making any Cactus League appearances. Teodo was apparently able to move past the issue ahead of the start of the Triple-A season, and he'll be primed to fill a key relief role for Round Rock in 2026. The right-hander has gotten off to a rough start through his first two appearances and will need to show improved control over an extended period before earning his first big-league call-up.

  • Jedixson Paez SP | CHW

    White Sox's Jedixson Paez: DFA'd by Chicago

    The White Sox designated Paez for assignment Wednesday.

    Chicago will replace Paez on the 40-man roster and in the bullpen with right-hander Lucas Sims, who was called up from Triple-A Charlotte. Since Paez was a Rule 5 Draft selection over the winter, the White Sox will have to offer him back to the Red Sox if he goes unclaimed off waivers. The 22-year-old righty made relief appearances in three of the White Sox's first five games, allowing six earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two batters over three innings.

  • Zach Eflin SP | BAL

    Orioles' Zach Eflin: Sent to IL with sore elbow

    The Orioles placed Eflin (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Eflin was lifted from his start Tuesday against the Rangers due to right elbow discomfort. He's set to undergo an MRI on Wednesday, at which point more will be known about how long he will be sidelined. Dean Kremer is likely to be called up from Triple-A Norfolk to take over Eflin's spot in the Baltimore rotation.

  • Hunter Gaddis SP | CLE

    Guardians' Hunter Gaddis: Makes second rehab appearance

    Gaddis (forearm) allowed one hit and struck out one over a scoreless inning for Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

    Gaddis, who began a rehab assignment March 28, made his second appearance while with the Clippers. Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt told MLB.com that Gaddis needs to be built up to the point where the right-hander can reduce the time off between outings.

  • Erick Fedde SP | CHW

    White Sox's Erick Fedde: Sunk by Marlins

    Fedde (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk over five innings as the White Sox fell 9-2 to Miami. He struck out four.

    The veteran right-hander tossed 50 of 80 pitches for strikes and held the Marlins off the board for three innings before things fell apart for him in the fourth. Fedde is hoping to recapture the form he showed in 2024 in his return to the White Sox, but about the only bright spot in Tuesday's performance is that he kept the ball in the yard after serving up 19 homers in 141 innings last season while bouncing between St. Louis, Atlanta and Milwaukee. Fedde is set to make his next start at home early next week against the Orioles.

  • Tanner Bibee SP | CLE

    Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Takes loss against Dodgers

    Bibee (0-1) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four batters over four innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday.

    Bibee had to be pulled from his first start last Thursday against Seattle due to a shoulder issue, but the injury didn't prove to be serious, and the right-hander was able to take his normal turn in the rotation Tuesday. He didn't pitch poorly, but he also wasn't efficient, needing 74 pitches to get through four frames. Bibee kept Los Angeles out of the scoring column until there were two outs in his final inning, but an Andy Pages single produced a run and was ultimately responsible for the hurler ending up with the loss. Bibee said after the game that he didn't have any issues with his shoulder, per Mason Horodyski of News 5 Cleveland, so he should be fine to make his next start, which lines up to come at home against Kansas City.

  • Logan Gilbert SP | SEA

    Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Yields five runs in loss

    Gilbert (0-1) took the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out six batters over 5.1 innings.

    Gilbert retired the first two batters he faced Tuesday, but three straight Yankees hits resulted in a pair of first-inning runs. The right-hander proceeded through the next four frames without falling further behind, but he imploded in the sixth, allowing four of the five batters he faced in that inning to reach base (on two doubles, a single and a walk) before being pulled. Overall, Gilbert threw just 54 of 95 pitches for strikes, and his three walks tied the most he recorded in any game last season. Gilbert did rack up 14 whiffs and now has 13 punchouts across 10.2 innings on the campaign, but he's also carrying a 6.75 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through two starts.

  • Max Fried SP | NYY

    Yankees' Max Fried: ERA spotless through two starts

    Fried (2-0) earned the win over Seattle on Tuesday, allowing three hits and issuing one walk while striking out six batters over seven scoreless innings.

    Fried was sharp in his second start of the campaign, throwing 60 of 90 pitches for strikes and allowing a mere three hits (all singles). The star hurler has begun the regular season with 13.1 scoreless frames and a pair of quality starts, both of which resulted in victories. Fried will look to keep rolling in his next appearance, which tentatively lines up to take place at home against Miami this weekend.

  • Jacob deGrom SP | TEX

    Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Fans seven in season debut

    DeGrom allowed three earned runs on six hits and no walks while striking out seven batters across 4.2 innings during Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Orioles. He did not factor into the decision.

    DeGrom allowed just three batters to reach base through the first four innings, though one of them was Pete Alonso, who put the O's on the scoreboard with a leadoff homer in the fourth. A defensive miscue from Wyatt Langford in the fifth allowed Baltimore to tally two more runs against deGrom, causing the veteran righty to leave Tuesday's contest after 79 pitches with the score knotted at three apiece. He's lined up to make his next start at home against the Mariners and may be allowed to pitch a bit deeper into that contest, at which point he'll be further removed from the neck issues that delayed his debut.
