  • Patrick Corbin SP | TOR

    Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Yields three runs in loss

    Corbin (3-3) took the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three across five innings.

    Despite limiting the Yankees to three runs Tuesday, Corbin still came away with the loss as the Rangers were kept off the board until the ninth. Corbin hasn't yielded more than three earned runs in any of his eight starts this season and has a 3.59 ERA over 42.2 innings, which is in stark contrast to the 5.71 ERA he posted across the four prior years. He's in line to face the White Sox on the road this weekend.

  • Will Warren SP | NYY

    Yankees' Will Warren: Logs career high in strikeouts

    Warren (3-2) earned the win against the Rangers on Tuesday, allowing five hits and one walk while striking out 10 across 5.2 scoreless innings.

    Warren didn't allow more than one baserunner through his first five innings. He loaded the bases in the sixth but avoided being tagged for any runs after being lifted for Mark Leiter, who struck out Joc Pederson. Warren has yielded three earned runs or fewer while striking out at least seven batters over his last four outings, and his 60 strikeouts (across 46.2 innings) are tied with teammate Max Fried for 10th in the American League this season. Warren is lined up to face the struggling Rockies on the road this weekend.

  • Chris Bassitt SP | BAL

    Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Six shutout innings in fourth win

    Bassitt (4-2) earned the win Tuesday against the Padres after allowing four hits and one walk in six scoreless innings. He struck out six.

    Tuesday marked Bassitt's first scoreless start in his last seven outings, and he also fanned six in his third straight appearance. The veteran right-hander's four hits allowed fell just one short of his season best, and he's now given up only one run over his past two starts after surrendering 15 runs across his prior four outings. Bassitt has thrown at least five innings in each of his 10 appearances this year, and he'll bring a strong 2.83 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 61:11 K:BB covering 57.1 innings into his next scheduled start against the Rays.

  • Joe Ryan SP | MIN

    Twins' Joe Ryan: Will pitch in suspended game

    Ryan will pitch Wednesday for the resumption of Monday's suspended game against the Guardians, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    The right-hander was penciled in to start Wednesday's series finale for Minnesota, but he'll instead take the mound for the suspended contest after Tuesday's game was also postponed. The Twin's held a 2-1 lead after three innings when the game was pushed Monday, so Ryan will have a strong opportunity to secure his fourth win in five starts. After the completion of the suspended game, Chris Paddack will start Wednesday's regularly scheduled contest for the Twins.

  • Alex Cobb SP | DET

    Tigers' Alex Cobb: Receiving injections for hip

    Cobb is still dealing with inflammation in his hip and is scheduled to receive a series of injections this week, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    The 37-year-old opened the campaign on the injured list due to hip inflammation, which began bothering him at the start of spring training. Cobb received an epidural shot in late February to aid in his recovery, and he's now receiving some additional injections. The right-hander continues to play catch daily, but he'll likely require a significant ramp-up period before being cleared to pitch in games.

  • J.T. Ginn SP | ATH

    Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Back on IL

    The Athletics placed Ginn on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right quad strain.

    Ginn made his return from elbow inflammation Monday but struggled in his first start back to the tune of four runs allowed in just four innings. Now dealing with a quad injury, the 26-year-old righty will spend at least another 15 days on the injured list, and Anthony Maldonado will return to the Athletics to provide the big club with some extra bullpen depth.

  • Richard Fitts SP | STL

    Red Sox's Richard Fitts: Rehab start on tap

    Fitts (pectoral) is scheduled to make a rehab start with Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    The right-hander has been sidelined over a month due to a pectoral strain, but he's now been cleared for game action. Fitts will likely need at least a couple rehab starts in the minors before rejoining the Red Sox. He pitched well in his three outings prior to the injury with a 3.18 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB across 17 innings

  • Max Scherzer SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Max Scherzer: Resumes mound work

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that Scherzer (thumb/back) threw a 33-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Scherzer had to have a scheduled bullpen session last week scrapped due to back tightness, but he was able to throw Tuesday without issue. The veteran righty has been out nearly all season with right thumb inflammation. Scherzer will need 1-to-2 more bullpen sessions before progressing to facing hitters, so he is still several weeks away from a possible return.

  • Red Sox's Walker Buehler: Back from IL for Tuesday's start

    The Red Sox activated Buehler (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

    Buehler last pitched April 26 but is back to start Tuesday's game against the Mets. On the season, Buehler is 4-1 with a 4.28 ERA and 29:9 K:BB across 33.2 innings. He'll face a tough test against a Mets team that is ninth in OPS against right-handed pitching this season.

  • Red Sox's Patrick Sandoval: Throws bullpen session

    Sandoval (elbow) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    The bullpen session -- which featured 16 fastballs -- was Sandoval's first since he underwent internal brace surgery on his left elbow last June. Sandoval is slate to throw off the mound twice per week as he continues to ramp things up. The hope is that the left-hander can contribute to the Red Sox at some point during the second half, but there's no concrete timetable for him at this point.
