Lauer will start Sunday against the White Sox instead of Saturday as previously scheduled due to an illness, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

An ailment has apparently been working its way through the Blue Jays' clubhouse, and it will push Lauer back one day in the rotation. The left-hander made his season debut last Sunday versus the Athletics and had a strong showing, striking out nine while giving up two runs on three hits and a walk over 5.1 innings.

Yesavage (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Dunedin on Friday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

It was reported previously that Yesavage would throw a simulated game, but he will make an official game appearance instead. The right-hander is slated to go three innings in what will be his first outing since last year's World Series. Yesavage is coming back from a right shoulder impingement and will require multiple rehab starts before rejoining the Blue Jays' rotation, but a return before the end of the month is looking increasingly plausible.

Rodon (elbow/hamstring) hopes to throw off a mound Saturday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

The mound session would be in a controlled environment like a live batting practice session. If Rodon gets through that with no issues, he could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment next week. The veteran southpaw has been working his way back from offseason elbow surgery and hit a speed bump recently when he came down with right hamstring tightness. The hamstring issue does not seem to have set him back much, as Rodon could still be ready for his season debut before the end of April.

The Red Sox placed Oviedo on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right elbow strain, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Oviedo's velocity in his first appearance out of the bullpen was down considerably, and the IL move offers an explanation. Manager Alex Cora said Friday that Oviedo has undergone X-rays and an MRI, and those results would be compared to previous imaging, per Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston.

The Red Sox recalled Uberstine from Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

It's the first big-league promotion for Uberstine, who was added to the 40-man roster over the offseason. The right-hander tossed four innings of one-run ball in his first start of the season with Worcester and will provide the Boston bullpen with some length.

Bradley (1-0) earned the win Thursday against the Royals, allowing five hits and one walk while striking out three over six scoreless innings.

Bradley worked through a few early threats but managed to keep Kansas City off the board, showcasing his ability to pitch out of trouble. The right-hander's biggest moment came in the third inning, when he rebounded from a dropped foul popup by striking out Bobby Witt with a 100 mph fastball -- the hardest pitch thrown by a Twins starter in the pitch-tracking era -- to escape the jam. The 25-year-old righty was also efficient enough to reach the six-inning mark, tossing 65 of 100 pitches for strikes. Coming off a season in which he posted a 5.05 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 127 strikeouts over 142.2 innings, Bradley is off to a red-hot start to 2026 and continues to justify Minnesota's decision to acquire him from Tampa Bay at last year's trade deadline.

Peterson (0-1) took the loss against San Francisco on Thursday, allowing six runs (five earned) on nine hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 4.1 innings.

The Mets gave Peterson a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning, but he quickly gave that back plus more, as the Giants responded with three runs in the bottom half of the frame. Things didn't get any better for Peterson from there -- he yielded two more runs in the third and was charged with one more following his departure in the fifth. Peterson did manage to fan five batters, but his overall line was pretty destructive for fantasy managers who deployed him. This was certainly a letdown for Peterson after he shut out Pittsburgh across 5.1 innings during his season debut March 28.

Ray (1-1) earned the win over the Mets on Thursday, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven batters over 5.1 innings.

Ray gave up a run in each of the first and second frames, but he settled down from there and ended his outing by retiring seven of the final eight batters he faced. The left-hander wasn't all that efficient -- he needed 96 pitches to complete 5.1 innings -- but looked dominant at times, racking up a hefty 19 swings-and-misses and seven punchouts. Ray has been solid to begin the campaign, allowing four runs while posting an 11:3 K:BB over his first 10.2 innings across two starts.

Nelson (0-1) took the loss against Atlanta on Thursday, allowing seven runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 4.2 innings.

Nelson fell behind quickly by allowing a solo home run to Matt Olson with two outs in the first inning. Another solo shot -- this time by Dominic Smith -- put Atlanta up 2-0 in the third, but it wasn't until the fifth frame that things really unraveled for Nelson. An error behind him on a potential inning-ending double play opened the floodgates, as Atlanta went on to score eight runs following the miscue. Fantasy managers who deployed Nelson at least didn't have their ERAs wrecked since all of the runs in the fateful fifth were unearned, but this was nonetheless an uninspiring performance by the right-hander, who also battled his control with three walks. Through two starts, Nelson has allowed 11 runs (six earned) with a poor 7:6 K:BB over 9.1 innings.

Bido earned a save against the Diamondbacks on Thursday by pitching the final three innings, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out three batters.

Atlanta carried a 12-1 lead into the seventh inning, and Bido was tasked with finishing off the contest without allowing any drama. He did just that, giving up a run in the ninth frame but overall keeping Arizona at arm's length. Bido was rewarded for his efforts with a three-inning save -- the second save of his MLB career. The right-hander is tabbed for work in middle and long relief this season, so additional save chances will likely be very scarce or non-existent for him.
