  • Zach Eflin SP | BAL

    Orioles' Zach Eflin: Moved to 60-day IL

    The Orioles transferred Eflin (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    There's no word yet on the second opinion of the MRI on Eflin's right elbow. However, it's not a good sign that the Orioles have elected to shift him to the 60-IL, which makes Eflin ineligible to return until May 31. Brandon Young pitched well Monday versus the White Sox in Eflin's place, and his performance could earn him another start this weekend versus the Giants.

  • Gavin Williams SP | CLE

    Guardians' Gavin Williams: Start moved up

    Williams' scheduled start Tuesday against the Royals was moved up to 1:10 p.m. ET from its originally scheduled 6:10 pm due to a forecast of frigid conditions in the Cleveland area, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Fantasy managers will want to adjust their lineups accordingly to accommodate the new time for first pitch. Williams is coming off a dominant start against the Dodgers last Wednesday in which he picked up his first win while striking out 10 over seven shutout innings.

  • Giants' Adrian Houser: Tosses six frames in no-decision

    Houser allowed four runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out three batters over six innings in a no-decision against Philadelphia on Monday.

    The Giants staked Houser to a four-run lead through four frames, but he couldn't protect the advantage. The right-hander allowed a pair of runs in the fifth, then got through a scoreless sixth before yielding singles to the first two batters he faced in the seventh. Houser was lifted after the latter of those two hits, and both runners he left on base eventually came around to score. The veteran hurler has given up five runs while posting a 7:3 K:BB through 11.1 innings across his first two starts, and he lines up to next take the mound on the road versus Baltimore.

  • Tanner Bibee SP | CLE

    Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Settles for no-decision

    Bibee didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Royals, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out three in 4.1 innings pitched.

    It wasn't an easy outing for Bibee as he needed 87 pitches to work through 4.1 innings, the second straight start in which he failed to finish the fifth inning. The 27-year-old allowed just one run, a RBI single from Jonathan India, but departed with the game tied at one. Through three starts on the year, the right-hander is 0-1 with a 3.29 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 14 strikeouts and five walks in 13.2 innings pitched. His next start is scheduled for Sunday against Atlanta.

  • Padres' German Marquez: Works his way out of trouble in win

    Marquez (1-1) earned the win Monday against the Pirates, allowing no runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings.

    Marquez navigated traffic throughout the outing, escaping jams in multiple innings to keep Pittsburgh off the board. The righty stranded runners at the corners in both the second and third innings, highlighted by a key strikeout of Ryan O'Hearn on his fastest pitch of the day at 95 mph. It was a much sharper outing compared to his season debut, where Marquez allowed four runs over three innings against San Francisco. The win snapped a 12-start stretch without a victory (0-9), marking the 31-year-old's first win since June 18. Marquez will look to ride this momentum into his next start, scheduled against a Rockies lineup that has had trouble scoring runs so far in 2026.

  • Andrew Painter SP | PHI

    Phillies' Andrew Painter: Ineffective in second start

    Painter allowed four runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out one batter over four innings in a no-decision against San Francisco on Monday.

    Painter thrilled with 5.1 innings of one-run ball in his MLB debut against Washington last Tuesday, but he was far less impressive this time around. The right-hander gave up at least one hit in each frame in which he appeared, with his worst inning being the third, when the Giants tagged him for three runs on a pair of singles, a double and a triple. Painter exited trailing 4-0, but Philadelphia was able to mount a comeback to take him off the hook. The rookie hurler lines up to make his next start at home against Arizona.

  • Royals' Michael Wacha: Strong through seven

    Wacha (1-0) earned the win Monday against the Guardians, allowing one run on three hits and three walks while striking out three in seven innings of work.

    Wacha missed his original scheduled start date Friday with illness, but he delivered a performance worth the wait Monday. The 34-year-old worked his way ahead of hitters well, throwing first-pitch strikes to 18 of the 26 batters he faced, and found his way to 21 outs while allowing just one run. The right-hander has been tough to touch in his first two starts this season, sporting a 0.69 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, 10 strikeouts and four walks in 13 innings pitched.

  • Logan Gilbert SP | SEA

    Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Takes second loss

    Gilbert (0-2) took the loss Monday, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks over six innings against the Rangers. He struck out five.

    Gilbert was largely effective, though a pair of runs allowed in his first and final frames saddled him with the loss as the Mariners' offense was silenced. While Monday wasn't his sharpest outing, it marked a step in the right direction after the right-hander surrendered eight runs across 10.2 innings in his first two starts of the season. Gilbert is lined up to face the division-rival Astros in his next outing Sunday.

  • Chris Sale SP | ATL

    Braves' Chris Sale: Stumbles in first loss

    Sale (2-1) took the loss against the Angels on Monday, completing four innings and allowing six runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven batters.

    Sale was staked to an early lead on a first-inning Drake Baldwin solo homer, but he quickly gave that back when Zach Neto led off the bottom of the frame with a solo shot of his own. Neither team scored again until the fourth, when the Angels put up three more runs. Sale was his own worst enemy in that frame, as he walked two batters and hit two others with pitches. The left-hander was allowed to return for the fifth, but he gave up a single followed by a Jo Adell two-run blast before being pulled. Sale did manage to rack up seven punchouts during his time in the game, but his ERA jumped from 0.75 to 3.94 as a result of the flood of runs against him.

  • Casey Mize SP | DET

    Tigers' Casey Mize: Surrenders five runs in loss

    Mize (0-1) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks over 4.1 innings against Minnesota. He struck out four.

    Mize didn't have his best stuff Monday, as a lengthy third inning and a two-run homer from Luke Keaschall in the fourth frame did damage. It marked a step back for the right-hander after a strong first start against Arizona, in which he fired six innings of one-run ball with nine punchouts. Looking ahead, Mize lines up to face Miami on Saturday in his next outing.
