  • Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Lands on injured list

    The Tigers placed Gipson-Long (oblique) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    The right-hander sustained the injury during the offseason and was working through his rehab program during spring training. Gipson-Long was throwing bullpen sessions late in camp and will likely need a rehab assignment before being cleared for his season debut with Detroit.

  • Ryan Weathers SP | NYY

    Yankees' Ryan Weathers: Ends spring on positive note

    Weathers completed five innings in Tuesday's exhibition game against the Cubs, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out four batters.

    Weathers entered as a reliever in the third inning but got in a healthy workload of five frames spanning 80 pitches (57 strikes). He held Chicago to just one run on a Miguel Amaya solo homer. Weathers had a bumpy spring and finished the exhibition slate with an 8.83 ERA and 1.79 WHIP across 17.1 innings, but he did register an impressive 21:4 K:BB. The left-hander has been tabbed to be part of New York's season-opening rotation and is tentatively slated to make his first start Monday in Seattle.

  • Gerrit Cole SP | NYY

    Yankees' Gerrit Cole: Move to IL made official

    The Yankees placed Cole (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Cole got into a couple games this spring, allowing one run with a 3:0 K:BB over 2.2 innings. The veteran right-hander continues to check all the boxes as he works his way back from March 2025 Tommy John surgery with an internal brace, and the Yankees anticipate Cole being ready to rejoin their rotation by the end of May.

  • Luis Gil SP | NYY

    Yankees' Luis Gil: Sent to Triple-A

    The Yankees optioned Gil to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

    With multiple off days to begin the season, the Yankees will operate with a four-man rotation early on. Gil will be recalled once a fifth starter is needed April 11 against the Rays. The right-hander had a strong Grapefruit League showing with a 24:5 K:BB over 19.1 innings.

  • Luis Castillo SP | SEA

    Mariners' Luis Castillo: Strong finish to spring slate

    Castillo allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out five across five innings in Monday's matchup with the Padres.

    Castillo finished Cactus League play on a high note, allowing three runs over nine innings in his final two outings. It's certainly an encouraging development after the right-hander struggled to a 27.00 ERA in his first three appearances (six innings). Castillo, who's posted a sub-4.00 ERA in each of his last seven seasons, made a team-high 32 regular-season starts in 2025, finishing with a 3.54 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 162:46 K:BB across 180.2 innings.

  • Carlos Rodon SP | NYY

    Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Goes on 15-day IL

    The Yankees placed Rodon (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Rodon had surgery last October to remove a bone spur from his left elbow and is still in the process of getting built back up. The southpaw should be close to starting up a rehab assignment, and the Yankees anticipate him being ready for his season debut before the end of April.

  • Zak Kent SP | MIN

    Twins' Zak Kent: Set to make bullpen

    Kent will make the Twins' Opening Day roster in the bullpen barring any last-second trades, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports. He had a 3.52 ERA and 8:1 K:BB in 7.2 innings this spring.

    Kent wasn't thought to be a candidate to win a job in the bullpen, but he turned heads this spring with a strong performance. He'll likely be one of the last options in the bullpen, but the relief corps is unsettled, especially for right-handed relievers, so there's an opportunity for Kent to work his way into high-leverage situations.

  • Jedixson Paez SP | CHW

    White Sox's Jedixson Paez: Claims roster spot

    Paez will be included on the White Sox's Opening Day roster, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

    Paez joined the White Sox via the Rule 5 Draft, and although he posted a 6.35 ERA in the Cactus League and has never pitched an inning above High-A, he will break camp with the big club. The 22-year-old right-hander has worked primarily as a starter in the minors but will most likely take on a long-relief role with the South Siders. He will need to remain on the active roster all season or else be offered back to the Red Sox.

  • Alek Manoah SP | LAA

    Angels' Alek Manoah: Lands on IL

    The Angels placed Manoah (finger) on the 15-day injured list Monday.

    Manoah will be shelved to begin the season while he recovers from a right middle finger contusion. The 28-year-old logged a 9.39 ERA over 15.1 innings of Cactus League action, so he may be sent down to Triple-A Salt Lake once he's cleared to return.

  • Angels' Grayson Rodriguez: Officially placed on IL

    The Angels placed Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right shoulder inflammation.

    Manager Kurt Suzuki had previously been referring to Rodriguez's injury as being a bout with "dead arm," but the Angels are officially listing him with a shoulder issue. In any case, Suzuki has remained adamant that Rodriguez isn't contending with anything too serious, so the right-hander could be ready to return from the IL around when he's first eligible for activation. Ryan Johnson will fill the open spot in Los Angeles' rotation until Rodriguez is healthy.
