  • Shane Baz SP | BAL

    Rays' Shane Baz: Pushed back to Monday

    Baz will no longer start Sunday's game against Atlanta as planned and will instead make his next turn through the rotation Monday versus the Red Sox in Tampa, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    The Rays are in the midst of a busy period in their schedule, so the team has elected to temporarily add a sixth man to the rotation. Joe Boyle was recalled from Triple-A Durham and will take the hill Sunday, and he will either shift to the bullpen or head back to the minors after the game. Baz now lines up for two starts during the upcoming week, with his second turn potentially coming next Saturday at home versus the Yankees.

  • Kumar Rocker P | TEX

    Rangers' Kumar Rocker: Goes just 3.1 frames in loss

    Rocker (0-2) took the loss against Seattle on Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 3.1 innings.

    Rocker began his outing with two scoreless frames, but he was torched for four runs in the third. The right-hander returned for the fourth inning but was pulled after giving up a one-out single. Rocker has struggled in two of his three outings so far this season, resulting in a poor 7.94 ERA and 1.94 WHIP overall. He hasn't been able to miss many bats, tallying just six strikeouts while issuing four walks through 11.1 frames.

  • Bryan Woo SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryan Woo: Fans seven in victory

    Woo (2-0) earned the win over Texas on Saturday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over seven innings.

    Woo gave up a run in the first frame, but he put the clamps on the Rangers' offense thereafter and didn't allow another player to cross the plate. The right-hander impressed by racking up 15 whiffs and throwing 61 of an efficient 91 pitches for strikes. Woo has gone at least six innings in all three of his starts this season, and this was his second quality start of the campaign. He's been ace-like to begin 2025 with a 2.84 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB through 19 innings.

  • Will Warren P | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Collects first career MLB win

    Warren (1-0) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over five innings in an 8-4 victory over the Giants. He struck out six.

    The right-hander was handed a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning but promptly gave it back in the top of the second, before settling in and letting the Yankees' offense carry him to his first career win in the majors. Warren tossed 54 of 91 pitches for strikes and racked up a dominant 35 called or swinging strikes in his best performance yet this season. While Clarke Schmidt (shoulder) is poised to come off the IL next week, a knee injury to Marcus Stroman and the struggles of Carlos Carrasco have given Warren some extra job security in the Yankees' rotation. He's scheduled to make his next trip to the mound on the road next week against the Rays.

  • Luis Ortiz SP | CLE

    Guardians' Luis L. Ortiz: Strikes out 10 in win

    Ortiz (1-2) earned the win against the Royals on Saturday, allowing one run on one hit and two walks with 10 strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

    Ortiz was a solo homer away from a spotless outing, racking up 16 whiffs on 100 pitches to earn his first win of the season. The 26-year-old owns a 6.06 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB across 16.1 innings, though much of the damage to his ratios stems from a seven-run outing March 31. He's slated to face his former team, the Pirates, in Pittsburgh next weekend.

  • Tyler Anderson SP | LAA

    Angels' Tyler Anderson: Grabs first win

    Anderson (1-0) earned the win Saturday over the Astros, allowing one hit and four walks over 5.2 scoreless innings. He struck out six.

    Anderson's issued eight walks over his last two starts (10.2 innings), though he's held opponents to just two runs and two hits in that span, including Saturday's scoreless effort. Overall, the 35-year-old southpaw has pitched to a 2.87 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP and 15 strikeouts through his first 15.2 innings this season. Anderson is currently in line for a home matchup with the Giants in his next outing.

  • Royals' Michael Lorenzen: Allows three runs in loss

    Lorenzen (1-2) took the loss against the Guardians on Saturday, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk with four strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

    Lorenzen came up just short of a second consecutive quality start, allowing a run with two outs in the sixth inning before being lifted at 85 pitches. So far, the 33-year-old has pitched into the sixth and allowed three earned runs or fewer in all three of his starts. He'll take a 3.71 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB across 17 frames into a road matchup with the Tigers next week.

  • Chris Paddack SP | MIA

    Twins' Chris Paddack: No help in Saturday's loss

    Paddack (0-2) took the loss Saturday as the Twins were blanked 4-0 by the Tigers, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.

    The right-hander put together his best outing of the season so far, but Minnesota's batters only managed four hits, and errors in the field and on the basepaths didn't help either. Paddack tossed 56 of 93 pitches for strikes before exiting, and he'll look for his first win of 2025 in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Atlanta.

  • Martin Perez SP | ATL

    White Sox's Martin Perez: Shaky in no-decision

    Perez did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Red Sox, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks with five strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

    Perez racked up an impressive 13 swinging strikes on 91 pitches, but he also found the strike zone on just 50 offerings and issued a season-high four walks. Despite Saturday's control issues, the 34-year-old owns a 1.59 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB across 17 innings this season. He's slated for a rematch with the Red Sox next weekend, this time in Boston.

  • Jackson Jobe P | DET

    Tigers' Jackson Jobe: Blanks Twins for first MLB win

    Jobe (1-0) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two hits and a walk over six scoreless innings in a 4-0 victory over the Twins. He struck out two.

    The rookie right-hander put the first two batters he faced on base before locking in and retiring the next 13 Minnesota hitters. Jobe tossed 54 of 87 pitches for strikes en route to his first win in the majors, and his first quality start. The 22-year-old will take a 3.00 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 9:8 K:BB through 15 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Royals.
