  • Trevor Rogers SP | BAL

    Orioles' Trevor Rogers: Collects second win

    Rogers (2-0) picked up the win Wednesday. allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over six innings in an 8-3 victory over the Rangers. He struck out three.

    Baltimore's offense jumped on Nathan Eovaldi early, and Rogers already had a 4-0 lead before Texas got to the southpaw for a couple runs in the fourth inning. Rogers has delivered back-to-back quality starts to begin the season, posting a 1.38 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB through 13 innings. He'll look to extend his win streak in his next start, which lines up to come on the road early next week against the White Sox.

  • Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX

    Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Hit hard in Baltimore

    Eovaldi (0-2) took the loss Wednesday, surrendering six runs on eight hits and three walks over four-plus innings as the Rangers fell 8-3 to the Orioles. He struck out five.

    The right-hander dealt with runners in scoring position in each of the first three innings, but after he seemed to settle down with a 1-2-3 fourth, Samuel Basallo led off the fifth with a solo shot. Eovaldi's had a rough start to 2026, getting tagged for 11 runs in 8.2 innings despite a 12:3 K:BB, and he's having trouble keeping the ball in the yard. After serving up just 10 homers in 22 starts as part of his career year in 2025, Eovaldi has already coughed up three homers in two starts to kick off the current campaign. He'll look to regain his focus in his next outing, which is set to come at home early next week against the Mariners.

  • Chris Sale SP | ATL

    Braves' Chris Sale: Sharp again in second win

    Sale (2-0) allowed one run on one hit over six innings Wednesday to record the win as Atlanta downed the A's 5-1. He struck out three without walking a batter.

    Shea Langeliers' solo shot in the fourth inning ended up being the only runner to reach base against Sale over 79 pitches (57 strikes). The veteran southpaw has been brilliant to begin the season, delivering two straight quality starts with a 0.75 ERA, 0.58 WHIP and 9:3 K:BB in 12 innings. Sale will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week against the Angels.

  • Luis Severino SP | ATH

    Athletics' Luis Severino: Fans seven in Wednesday's loss

    Severino (0-1) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up four runs on four hits and five walks over 3.1 innings as the A's fell 5-1 to Atlanta. He struck out seven.

    The right-hander managed only 49 strikes among his 91 pitches, but Severino salvaged some value for his fantasy GMs with the strikeouts. Through his first 8.1 innings to begin the year, Severino has a 6.48 ERA and 10:8 K:BB, a worrisome start for a pitcher who posted a BB/9 below 3.0 in each of the last two seasons. He'll try to tighten up his control in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week in his old stomping grounds at Yankee Stadium.

  • Red Sox's Kutter Crawford: Nearing rehab start

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Crawford (wrist) is expected to make his first minor-league rehab start in about two weeks, MLB.com reports.

    Per Christopher Smith of MassLive.com, Crawford threw four innings in a simulated game Monday at the Red Sox's spring training facility, but the right-hander looks like he'll continue to build up in Florida a little while longer before joining a minor-league affiliate. Meanwhile, fellow rehabbing pitcher Patrick Sandoval (elbow) is set to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday at Double-A Portland, and he would appear to be on track to beat Crawford back from the 15-day injured list. The Red Sox don't have room in the big-league rotation for either pitcher at the moment, so Crawford -- who has two minor-league options remaining -- could be assigned to Triple-A Worcester once he completes his rehab assignment and gets activated from the IL.

  • Quinn Priester SP | MIL

    Brewers' Quinn Priester: Gets green light to face hitters

    Priester (wrist) will report to the Brewers' spring training complex in Arizona later this week to resume throwing live batting practice, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Priester checked an important box in his recovery process from symptoms related to thoracic outlet syndrome by throwing a 20-pitch bullpen session Tuesday. With the right-hander checking out fine following that workout, he'll face hitters over the next few days before the Brewers map out a schedule for a minor-league rehab assignment. Priester missed all of spring training, so he'll require a prolonged assignment and may not be ready to return from the 15-day injured list until early May.

  • Carlos Rodon SP | NYY

    Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Throws again Wednesday

    Rodon (elbow/hamstring) threw on flat ground and a bit off the mound Wednesday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

    Rodon -- who is on the 15-day injured list as he recovers from elbow surgery -- felt right hamstring tightness while doing some running Tuesday but has continued throwing. He will meet with the Yankees trainers when the team returns home later this week as the club evaluates how much the hamstring issue might set him back. Prior to the hamstring problem, Rodon had tentatively been slated for his season debut in late April.

  • Dylan Cease SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Dylan Cease: TOR-CWS postponed Thursday

    Cease won't start Thursday against the White Sox after the game was postponed to Friday due to a forecast of inclement weather in Chicago.

    The Blue Jays are likely to push Cease and the rest of their rotation back a day as a result of the postponement, so the right-hander should still be lined up to start the series opener Friday.

  • Jose Berrios SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Will face hitters this weekend

    Berrios (elbow) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is expected to face hitters Saturday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    The veteran righty is on the shelf due to a stress fracture in his elbow, but he's attempting to rehab it without surgery. Berrios had built up to 63 pitches in his last spring outing before being shut down, so once he's cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment, he may need only one or two starts. The Blue Jays' pitching depth has been tested early, with Cody Ponce (knee) the latest starter to go down. but Berrios appears to be on track to return before the end of April and beat both Trey Yesavage (shoulder) and Shane Bieber (forearm) back to the active roster.

  • CJ Van Eyk SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' CJ Van Eyk: Could be rotation option

    Van Eyk could be the pitcher called up to replace Cody Ponce (knee) in the big-league rotation, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    Lazaro Estrada was the pitcher promoted in the immediate wake of Ponce's injury, but he's unlikely to be used as anything more than a long reliever. Van Eyk is on turn at Triple-A Buffalo, and he looked good in his season debut Tuesday, allowing one run over four innings with a 5:1 K:BB. The 27-year-old right-hander isn't yet on the 40-man roster, so an additional move would need to be made to open up a spot, but with Ponce expected to miss more than two months he could be shifted to the 60-day IL to make room.
