Cabrera didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Phillies, allowing five runs (three earned) on six hits and no walks. He struck out five.

Philadelphia's three-run seventh inning put a damper on what was otherwise an excellent start from Cabrera. The right-hander didn't walk a batter for the first time in a start this season while matching a season high with five strikeouts. Cabrera's ERA now sits at 2.73 with a 1.18 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB across five outings (29.2 innings). He's currently scheduled to face the Padres on the road his next time out.

Sproat did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Tigers, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

Sproat gave up a two-run homer to Riley Greene with two outs in the first inning, but he settled down from there and kept Detroit off the board until the sixth inning, when they tacked on another run. The 25-year-old Sproat had given up two runs over 10.1 innings in his previous two outings and came close to delivering a second straight quality start Thursday. Overall, his ERA sits at 6.45 with a 1.57 WHIP and 20:13 K:BB across 22.1 innings this season.

Cole (elbow) pitched 4.1 innings, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out four in his rehab start with High-A Hudson on Thursday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Cole was able to limit the damage in his second rehab outing, throwing 42 of his 52 total pitches for strikes. The right-hander is expected to require multiple more starts to build up his workload before making his return to the major-league roster, and it's unclear where his next stop will be on his minor-league rehab assignment.

The Red Sox returned Sandoval (biceps) from his rehab assignment Thursday, Chris Henrique of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Sandoval had been pitching in the minors while working his way back from an internal brace procedure he underwent in 2024, but he suffered a setback during his latest rehab outing at Worcester. Manager Alex Cora said Monday that Sandoval will likely need just a few days of rest before he's ready to begin throwing again, at which point an updated timeline for his return could emerge.

The Orioles placed Kremer on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to April 20, due to a right quadriceps strain, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

In a corresponding move, the Orioles recalled Brandon Young from Triple-A Norfolk, who will step into Kremer's open rotation spot. Kremer will miss at least a couple turns through the rotation but could be out longer given that the severity of the strain has yet to be disclosed.

The Orioles recalled Young from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday to start in Friday's game versus the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Young's promotion comes in a corresponding move to Dean Kremer (quad) being placed on the 15-day injured list. Young threw five scoreless frames in his spot start with the Orioles in early April, and he'll now get another look in the big leagues after beginning the season at Norfolk with a 1.08 ERA, 0.56 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB.

The Nationals are expected to recall Cornelio from Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.

Cornelio has gotten off to a strong start with Rochester this season, posting a 2.45 ERA and 1.05 WHIP alongside a 27:8 K:BB through 18.1 innings (four starts). His performance will now buy him an opportunity in the big leagues, where he is likely to work out of Washington's bullpen in a long-relief role. He'll be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

Feltner was removed from his start against the Padres on Thursday due to right triceps tightness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Feltner was only able to make it through two innings before coming out of Thursday's contest, during which he allowed two earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out three batters. The severity of the right-hander's injury remains unknown, though the Rockies could send him in for imaging to determine whether he's dealing with a structural issue.

Skubal did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Brewers, allowing four runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out five over six innings.

Skubal held Milwaukee to just one run in his first six innings but ran into trouble in the seventh, when he allowed three straight hits without recording an out. It's just the second time this season that Skubal's given up more than one earned run in a start. His ERA sits at 2.72 with a 0.99 WHIP and 38:6 K:BB across six outings (36.1 innings). Skubal tentatively lines up to face Atlanta on the road his next time out.

Cavalli did not factor into the decision Thursday against Atlanta. He allowed two runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out 10 over five-plus innings.

While Cavalli failed to get in the win column Thursday, the right-hander turned in one of his better starts of the season, setting a career-high with 10 strikeouts. Still, the right-hander has struggled to go deep into games early in the season, completing at least six innings just once in six outings. Overall, Cavalli sports a 4.01 ERA with a 1.66 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB across 24.2 innings this year. He's currently slated for a road matchup with the Mets his next time out.
