Schlittler (5-1) notched the win Monday against the Orioles, allowing one run on seven hits and three walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

Despite walking a season-high three batters and fanning a season-low four, the hard-throwing right-hander still delivered another strong outing overall. It was the sixth time this year that Schlittler pitched at least five frames while yielding one earned run or zero, and he fell one out short of what could've been his fourth straight quality start. Schlittler will bring an outstanding 1.52 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 53:9 K:BB over 47.1 innings into his next scheduled outing in Milwaukee.

Olivares was activated from the 7-day injured list April 21.

Olivares had a delayed start to the season as he finished up rehabbing from offseason elbow surgery. He's been a bit wild to begin the 2026 campaign at Double-A Wichita, where he's accumulated a 3.86 ERA and 2.14 WHIP with a 6:8 K:BB across seven innings.

Baz (1-3) took the loss Monday against the Yankees, allowing six runs (five earned) on five hits and five walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

The 26-year-old right-hander struggled across the board in a tough matchup Monday. Baz gave up a season-high five earned runs, issued a season-worst five free passes and matched his lowest output in strikeouts of the campaign. Although Baz has tossed at least five frames in each of his first seven starts, he'll bring a rocky 4.99 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 33:16 K:BB over 39.2 innings into his next scheduled outing against the Athletics.

Bibee (0-5) took the loss Monday against the Royals, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out four.

The 27-year-old right-hander gave up his second-most runs of the season Monday, also matching a season low in innings. Bibee has just two quality starts under his belt in 2026, and he's now walked multiple batters in six of his first eight outings. Bibee is still recovering from an eight-run implosion in Atlanta during his April 12 appearance, which has left with him a shaky 4.58 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 36:16 K:BB over 39.1 innings, and he'll try to get back on track this weekend against the Twins.

Wacha (3-2) earned the win Monday against the Guardians, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out three.

After giving up 10 runs across his prior two starts, the 34-year-old right-hander got back on track Monday. It was the fifth time this year that Wacha worked at least six frames while yielding two runs or fewer, though the three punchouts did tie a season low. Wacha carries a steady 3.05 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 35:16 K:BB over 44.1 innings, but he's set to be tested with a tough matchup against the division-rival Tigers this weekend.

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said that Bello will be deployed as the bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Jovani Moran in Tuesday's game against Detroit, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Bello has struggled to work deep into outings in the early going of the 2026 campaign, so the Red Sox are electing to use him out of the bullpen for just the fourth time in his five-year big-league career. Moran is likely to cover just an inning or two before giving way to Bello, who owns a 9.17 ERA and 2.15 WHIP over 17.2 innings across his last four appearances.

Brown (shoulder) could throw a bullpen session as soon as this weekend, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Brown resumed flat-ground throwing a little over a week ago and has pushed his distance up to 120 feet, per Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle. The right-hander could take another big step in his throwing program this weekend by getting back on a mound. Brown is working his way back from a Grade 2 right shoulder strain, and the Astros have tentatively projected him to return by early- to mid-June.

The Angels recalled Aldegheri from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

Monday marks the second time this season that Aldegheri has been called up to the majors. His lone outing with the Angels this season came against the Yankees on April 16, when he allowed one earned run on two hits and one walk while striking out two across 1.2 innings. He'll replace Nick Sandlin on the 26-man active roster, the latter of whom was optioned to Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

The Orioles optioned Gibson to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Gibson made his major-league debut with a spot start Sunday against the Yankees, getting charged with three runs on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings while notching a pair of strikeouts. The right-hander's spot on the active roster will be absorbed by Lou Trivino.

Boyle (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Boyle has missed more than three weeks with a right elbow strain, but he's progressed to the point that he's ready to test himself in a game setting. The right-hander made three starts for the Rays before getting hurt, posting a 5.17 ERA and 16:6 K:BB over 15.2 innings. He could be reclaim a spot in the Tampa Bay rotation if he looks sharp during his rehab assignment.
