  • White Sox's Wikelman Gonzalez: Optioned to Double-A

    The White Sox optioned Gonzalez to Double-A Birmingham on Thursday.

    Gonzalez served up a couple solo home runs in his lone inning during Cactus League play. Acquired from the Red Sox this offseason, the 22-year-old Gonzalez will be deployed in Birmingham's rotation in 2025 and will be looking to bounce back from a 2024 campaign which saw him post a 4.73 ERA and 92:46 K:BB over 83.2 innings at the Double-A level.

  • Chen Zhuang SP | ATH

    Athletics' Chen Zhong-Ao Zhuang: Cleared for Spring Breakout game

    The Athletics list Zhuang (undisclosed) on the roster for their March 14 Spring Breakout game against Padres prospects, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Zhuang looks to be healthy heading into the 2025 season after he didn't pitch for Double-A Midland after Aug. 29 last season due to an unspecified injury. The 24-year-old righty submitted a 2.05 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB in 22 innings for Midland following a promotion from High-A Lansing in late July.

  • Jairo Iriarte SP | CHW

    White Sox's Jairo Iriarte: Sent down to Charlotte

    The White Sox optioned Iriarte to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

    Iriarte's control problems persisted his spring, as he walked five and hit a batter while yielding three runs over his 4.1 innings of work. The White Sox plan to continue developing the 23-year-old as a starting pitcher for now, but a shift to the bullpen might eventually come.

  • Jake Eder SP | CHW

    White Sox's Jake Eder: Optioned to Triple-A

    The White Sox optioned Eder to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

    Eder was touched up for four runs (three earned) on two hits and three walks over 2.1 innings this spring. The left-hander will likely be used in the rotation at Charlotte and could eventually be an option to help the White Sox as a starter or reliever.

  • Luis Gil SP | NYY

    Yankees' Luis Gil: Sidelined at least three months

    Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Thursday that he expects Gil (lat) to be sidelined for at least three months, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

    Gil is nursing a high-grade right lat strain, a diagnosis which was confirmed by a second MRI back in New York. The righty will be shut down for at least six weeks and will need to be built back up from scratch, so Cashman's revelation that Gil won't be an option until June, at the earliest, doesn't come as a surprise. Marcus Stroman and Will Warren are competing to fill Gil's spot in the Yankees' rotation.

  • Rays' Drew Rasmussen: Two innings in spring debut

    Rasmussen threw two scoreless innings during which he allowed one hit and one walk in Monday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta.

    Rasmussen has dealt with elbow injuries across the last two seasons, severely limiting his innings. However, he's still being stretched out as a starter this spring and managed 29 pitches in his spring training debut. Per Adam Berry of MLB.com, manager Kevin Cash has stated the team will use common sense when monitoring Rasmussen's workload, which could mean he is initially used in shorter stints or his turn through the rotation is occasionally skipped.

  • Joe Boyle SP | TB

    Rays' Joe Boyle: Impressive so far in camp

    Boyle allowed one unearned run on one hit and one walk while striking out two over 2.1 innings in Wednesday's Grapefruit League loss to the Red Sox.

    Boyle, acquired from the Athletics in the Jeffrey Springs trade, is up to 4.1 scoreless innings this spring with a 6:1 K:BB and .125 BAA. The Rays seem committed to deploying a six-man rotation to begin the season and Boyle could make it a tough call for the last spot if he keeps pitching like this. The 6-foot-7 righty posted a 6.42 ERA in the majors last year but has a quality four-pitch mix, highlighted by a four-seamer that averaged 97.7 mph last season.

  • Mason Miller SP | ATH

    Athletics' Mason Miller: Shows off blistering fastball

    Miller threw 11 fastballs over 100 mph Tuesday against the Rangers in his second appearance of the spring, MLB's David Adler reports.

    Miller's first fastball of the outing -- clocked at 98.8 mph -- was hit for a home run off the bat of Josh Smith. After that, Miller ramped up the velocity, consistently hitting triple digits and topping out at 102.9 mph. Miller solidified himself in the ninth-inning role for the A's with a breakout in 2024 when he racked up 28 saves and 104 strikeouts in 55 appearances, and he is being drafted as a top-five closer in many leagues this spring.

  • Reid Detmers SP | LAA

    Angels' Reid Detmers: Allows one run in third spring game

    Detmers tossed 2.2 innings in a Cactus League contest against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks while striking out one batter.

    Detmers set the side down in order in the first inning, then allowed a run on a double, single and groundout in the second. He retired the only two batters he faced in the third before his day came to an end. Detmers and Jack Kochanowicz are battling for the Angels' fifth-starter role to begin the campaign, and both have been effective in exhibition play thus far. Detmers has a 3.52 ERA and 4:2 K:BB over 7.2 frames across three outings, while Kochanowicz has a 1.80 ERA and 4:1 K:BB over five innings covering two appearances.

  • Reese Olson SP | DET

    Tigers' Reese Olson: Looks sharp in spring start

    Olson tossed three scoreless innings in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies. He allowed one hit and struck out four.

    Olson's second spring start was better than his first, when he allowed two solo home runs across two innings of work. The righty has been a nice find for the Tigers, as he posted sub-4.00 ERAs in each of his first two seasons with the team, including a 3.53 ERA in 2024 across a career-high 112.1 innings. Olson isn't flashy, but he should be a steady option as Detroit's No. 3 starter this year behind Tarik Skubal and Jack Flaherty.
