Boyd is listed as the probable starter for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Boyd's third start of the season will come three days later than he was initially expected after postponements Saturday and Sunday against the Yankees forced the Tigers to push each of their starters back in the pitching schedule. While the shuffling of the schedule denied Boyd of a two step last week, he'll at least trade a matchup against a powerful Yankees squad with a more favorable one at home against an Orioles offense that ranked 23rd in the majors in terms of wRC+ entering play Sunday.

Bundy (0-2) gave up three runs (one earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Red Sox.

Bundy opened the game by throwing four shutout innings but proceeded to surrender three runs over the next two frames. He threw a wild pitch that allowed one run to cross the plate and gave up two more as Boston started to get into rhythm at the dish. Despite still searching for his first victory of the season, Bundy owns a stellar 1.40 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. He'll have a challenging matchup the next time he takes the mound, as his next start figures to come Friday against the Indians.

Sale allowed one run on two hits and two walks over five innings in a no-decision Sunday against the Orioles.

Sale fanned eight batters during his time in Sunday's game, throwing 56 of his 93 pitches for strikes. Although he has just one victory over four starts, Sale has been his usual dominant self thus far and has yet to allow more than one run in an outing. He'll look to continue his terrific start to the season Saturday, with his next game projecting to be a matchup against the Athletics.

Severino will start Monday's game against the Marlins, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Severino's start against the Tigers on Sunday was postponed due to inclement weather, so he'll now start the first game of the team's upcoming two-game series against the Marlins. He'll be followed by Masahiro Tanaka on Tuesday and CC Sabathia (hip) on Thursday.

Severino will not make his scheduled start Sunday against the Tigers as the game has been postponed due to inclement weather, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Both games of Sunday's doubleheader have now been postponed due to poor weather. Severino might simply have his start pushed back to Monday, but no formal announcement has yet been made.

Berrios will start Wednesday's game against the Indians in Puerto Rico.

The Twins' pitching schedule has been in flux after the entire three-game series this weekend against the White Sox was postponed due to inclement weather in Minnesota, but Berrios was always believed to be in line for a start either Tuesday or Wednesday in Puerto Rico, his native country. He'll take the hill for the second game of the two-game set, resulting in Lance Lynn and Kyle Gibson getting their next starts pushed back to next weekend.

Odorizzi will start Tuesday against the Indians in Puerto Rico.

Odorizzi had been in line to start in one of the Twins' three games with the White Sox over the weekend, but all three contests were postponed after inclement weather hit Minneapolis. With conditions expected to be much more favorable Tuesday, Odorizzi shouldn't be in much jeopardy of having another start pushed back, and will have the benefit of pitching on six days' rest. Assuming the Twins experience no further postponements during the upcoming week, Odorizzi would line up for a second start April 22 in Tampa Bay.

Kopech allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings for Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Kopech usually puts up eye-popping strikeout numbers, but he took a different approach Saturday, inducing 11 groundball outs and leaving with a lead, which was blown by the Knights' bullpen. He's allowed just one run on seven hits over 10 innings thus far, but we're tracking his progress in the number of walks he allows. Four walks over 10 innings is good, but we'd like to see that number tick downward.

Eovaldi (elbow) could return in late May, Bill Chastain of MLB.com reports.

This is speculation on the part of manager Kevin Cash, but a May return at least sounds possible. For now, the Rays will continue to utilize a unique approach with the back of the rotation, with Yonny Chirinos and Ryan Yarbrough logging shorter starts with a long reliever coming in to piggyback those outings.

Boyd will not pitch Sunday against the Yankees after Game 1 of the doubleheader was postponed.

The night game could still happen, but in that event, Francisco Liriano will take the ball. Boyd will either start Tuesday or Wednesday against the Orioles. Sunday's night game will need to happen in order for Boyd to make two starts next week.
