Schultz suffered a left forearm strain in spring training and is rehabbing in extended spring training, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.

Callis says the White Sox are being cautious with Schultz and he is unlikely to see game action before June, as he was going to have his innings monitored anyway in his first full season as a pro. Schultz has a high ceiling, but he isn't an ideal stash in mid-sized dynasty leagues as we won't see him for a couple months at least and this is the type of injury that could eventually lead to surgery.

Triple-A Gwinnett placed Anderson on its 7-day injured list Tuesday with a sore right elbow, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

The injury likely explains why Anderson was hit hard while struggling with both his command and control in his season debut at Triple-A last Sunday. The severity of Anderson's elbow injury isn't known at this time, but he's presumably not going to be a rotation option for the big club anytime soon.

Thursday's game between the Orioles and Yankees has been postponed due to the forecast of severe inclement weather. The game will be made up Friday.

Thursday was supposed to be the home opener for the Orioles, but because of the forecast that game will be delayed at least a day. Dean Kremer was scheduled to start for Baltimore against Clarke Schmidt, and both arms will likely get the ball Friday instead.

Eder is recovering from a fractured left foot and will open the year at Double-A Pensacola once healthy, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.

Eder was going to be make his much-anticipated return from Tommy John surgery this spring, but a fractured foot will delay things for the big southpaw. He excelled in 15 starts at Double-A in 2021 prior to needing surgery, so Eder could get a bump to Triple-A this summer once he knocks some rust off.

Nastrini (undisclosed) is building up arm strength in extended spring training and will eventually report to Double-A Tulsa, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.

We don't have an official injury for Nastrini like we do with teammate Bobby Miller (shoulder), who is also getting held back in extended spring training. It's unclear if this is a significant setback or not, but Nastrini has been a strikeout machine in pro ball and will focus on limiting the free passes when he is ready to return to Double-A.

Urias moved to 2-0 after shutting out the Rockies over six frames in Tuesday's 5-2 victory. He struck out six and scattered five hits while walking none in the 87-pitch start.

The Dodgers have been conservative with Urias' workload in his first two outings of the season, but he's still managed to deliver quality starts while capturing wins and recording exactly six punchouts on both occasions. The 26-year-old lefty endured some early trouble by putting runners on in each of the first three frames and even loading the bases with no outs in the top of the third, but he worked his way out of that jam and retired the final 11 hitters he faced on the night.

Canning (groin) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Single-A Inland Empire, the Associated Press reports.

Canning will take the hill for the affiliate's season opener after he checked out fine following a bullpen session Monday. Before being shut down late in spring training with a left groin strain, Canning had reached four innings in both of his final two starts in the Cactus League, so he may not require an extensive ramp-up period. Expect him to make at least two rehab starts in the minors before the Angels decide whether to activate him from the 15-day injured list and insert him into the big-league rotation.

Wainwright (groin) will throw another bullpen session Thursday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Wainwright threw off a mound Monday for the first time since his groin strain and it went well, clearing the way for another bullpen session Thursday. A rehab assignment shouldn't be too far off, putting the veteran right-hander on track to return before the end of April if all goes well.

Castillo moved to 1-0 after striking out six over 5.2 scoreless innings in Tuesday's 11-2 victory over the Angels. He scattered two hits and two walks in the 99-pitch outing.

Doubles off the bats of Taylor Ward and Brandon Drury were about the only damage on the night for Castillo, who blanked the Angels midway through the fifth inning before departing with an 8-0 lead. He's yet to allow a run through his first two starts and sports a microscopic 0.43 WHIP over 11.2 innings.

Suarez (0-1) was handed the loss after giving up seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks as the Angels fell to the Mariners, 11-2, on Tuesday. He struck out four over the 77-pitch outing.

The 25-year-old lefty was able to break camp as the Halos' No. 5 starter, but after a strong close to the 2022 campaign, he wasn't able to get off on the right foot in his 2023 season debut. He faced five batters and needed 31 pitches to record three outs in the opening frame, though he limited the damage to just one run, which came on a wild pitch. Suarez appeared to right the ship with a pair of 1-2-3 innings, but he unraveled in the fourth, surrendering three straight hits, including a Teoscar Hernandez home run. He served up another home run to Hernandez the following inning before being pulled from the contest a batter later.
