Bradley (2-1) took the loss Thursday against the Yankees after allowing six runs on nine hits and four walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out three.

Bradley ran into immediate danger Thursday, giving up three hits before recording a single out, but he held the Yankees to just one run in the first inning. The right-hander then faltered while giving up five runs across the fifth and sixth innings, two of which came via inherited runners by Manuel Rodriguez after Bradley was relieved. The 24-year-old has already delivered two quality starts this season, but the 10 runs he's surrendered in his other two outings have resulted in an inflated 5.24 ERA.

Warren didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Rays after allowing one run on four hits and two walks in 1.2 innings. He struck out one.

After throwing 53 pitches, the right-hander was given a quick hook in the second inning. He limited the damage by getting Taylor Walls to hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the frame, but Warren was pulled after walking Kameron Misner to reload the bases. Warren has a 1-0 record through four starts and is holding right-handed batters to a .154 average, but lefties are hitting .300 against him with a .954 OPS. He will carry a mediocre 5.17 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB over 15.2 innings into his next scheduled start in Cleveland next week.

Wright (shoulder/hamstring) is scheduled for three innings in the Arizona Complex League on Monday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Wright entered the season on the injured list as he continues rehab on his right shoulder along with a hamstring strain he suffered in camp. The right-hander doesn't have a clear timeline for his return, but his return to game action indicates his 2025 MLB debut may not be too far off.

Martin (1-2) took the loss Thursday against the Athletics, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out three.

Martin held the A's to one run through his first four innings before giving up a solo homer to Lawrence Butler in the fifth followed by a JJ Bleday two-run blast in the sixth. The 28-year-old righty has covered at least five frames in each of his first four starts of the year but has otherwise provided inconsistent results, with a 4.84 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB across 22.1 innings.

Sears (2-2) earned the win Thursday over the White Sox, allowing three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out two.

Sears had little trouble with the White Sox on Thursday, allowing just three singles while cruising to his second victory. The 29-year-old left-hander has delivered quality starts in three of his first four outings to start the year. Sears now sports a 3.13 ERA with a 1.09 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB across 23 innings. He's currently lined up for a home matchup with the Rangers in his next start.

Montero remains on the Tigers' active roster following Wednesday's start against the Brewers and is expected to pitch again in 4-to-5 days, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

It was anticipated that Montero would be sent back down to the minors following what was expected to be a spot start. However, manager A.J. Hinch said "there was a lot we liked" about Montero's start in Milwaukee, and "we're hoping to get another outing of him." Whether that's another start or perhaps an extended relief appearance isn't clear. Montero permitted five runs on eight hits across five innings against the Brewers, but he also walked just one and struck out eight.

Hancock (0-1) did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Reds, allowing two runs on five hits over five innings. He struck out four.

Hancock got off to a rocky start, surrendering a two-run homer to Austin Hays in the first inning. However, the right-hander would settle in and blank Cincinnati over his final four frames, giving up just three more hits. It's certainly an encouraging effort from Hancock, who was sent down to Triple-A after allowing six runs in just two-thirds of an inning in his first start this year. Hancock should get another chance to stick in Seattle's rotation -- he currently lines up for a road matchup with the Red Sox next week.

Rodriguez (elbow) was scratched from a scheduled bullpen session Thursday and sent for imaging due to right shoulder soreness, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

The injury is separate from the elbow/triceps issue that's kept Rodriguez out all season. It's an especially worrisome setback given that the right-hander missed nearly the final two months of last season with a right lat strain. The Orioles should be able to provide more information on Rodriguez's status after the MRI results come back, but certainly he's not going to be rejoining the big-league rotation anytime soon.

Dobbins will be recalled from Triple-A Worcester to start Friday's game against the White Sox, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora indicated previously that Dobbins was the likely choice to pitch Friday, and that is indeed the direction the team will go in. The 25-year-old was charged with two runs over five innings in his major-league debut versus the Cardinals earlier this month. With Brayan Bello (shoulder) due back next week, this will be a spot start for Dobbins.

Lopez (hamstring) will make a rehab start with Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Lopez got through a 31-pitch bullpen session Wednesday without any issues with his right hamstring, clearing the path for him to make a rehab start. It should be the only one he needs before rejoining the Twins' rotation, which can happen as soon as April 24 against the White Sox.
