Schmidt (0-2) took the loss against Baltimore on Friday, allowing an unearned run over 1.1 innings while walking three.

Schmidt took the mound in the 10th inning and succeeded in keeping Baltimore off the board, but the Yankees were unable to produce any runs in the bottom of the frame. The right-hander returned in the 11th and issued back-to-back one-out walks to load the bases before being relieved by Aroldis Chapman. Chapman got Cedric Mullins to strike out but then walked in the winning run. Schmidt has been charged with a loss in each of his two appearances this season, though he has given up only one earned run over four total innings of work.

Miley (elbow) threw 15 pitches off a mound Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Miley missed the start of the season due to left elbow inflammation, but he's been taking steps in the right direction over the past week. He still has a way to go before he's ready for game action.

Wainwright will start Tuesday's series opener in Miami, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Wainwright initially lined up to start Wednesday's game against the Marlins, but he'll instead start on normal rest a day earlier. The right-hander took the loss Thursday against the Brewers when he allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out seven in 4.1 innings.

Manning was removed from Saturday's game against the Royals in the top of the third inning due to right shoulder discomfort, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Manning deflected a bouncer up the middle to end the second inning Saturday, although it's not yet clear whether that caused his injury. Prior to his departure, he allowed a run on five hits and no walks while striking out two in two innings. The severity of his injury isn't yet known, but if he's cleared to make his next turn through the rotation, he tentatively lines up to start at home against the Rockies on Friday.

Gray left Saturday's start in the second inning against Boston due to an apparent leg injury, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Gray appeared to hurt his hamstring or groin after throwing a pitch and showed discomfort. He left after meeting with the team trainer. Josh Winder replaced him on the mound.

Manager Brandon Hyde said Saturday that Means (elbow) is "not going to be on a mound for a while," Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.

Means landed on the 10-day IL with a left elbow strain Friday and is undergoing further tests. While the results of his examination aren't yet known, Hyde said the southpaw will get a second opinion once the first round of tests are complete. The Orioles' skipper also said that he doesn't know whether Means' injury will be a season-long issue, so it appears as though the 28-year-old is in line for a lengthy absence.

Baz (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Baz underwent arthroscopic elbow surgery in late March. The Rays are evidently in no rush to bring him back, as he'll now be ineligible to pitch in the majors until early June. Whether or not he'll have a chance to be activated when first eligible is unclear. The move clears space on the 40-man roster for the Rays to add Javy Guerra, who was acquired in exchange for cash considerations Saturday.

Flaherty (shoulder) is throwing from approximately 120 feet Saturday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Flaherty has reported progress in his right shoulder recently, and he's now been able to throw off flat ground on back-to-back days. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to resume mound work, but the 26-year-old is encouraged with the progress he's made in his rehab so far.

Mize (elbow) underwent further testing that revealed a sprained medial collateral ligament, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Mize was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right elbow sprain Friday, but he's feeling better Saturday. He'll be examined further once the team returns to Detroit on Monday, but it's encouraging that he's already dealing with less soreness a day after being place on the IL. It's not yet clear when the right-hander will be able to return. Michael Pineda is expected to take Mize's place in the rotation.

Stripling didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 4-1 win over the A's, scattering two hits over four scoreless innings. He struck out three without walking a batter.

Making his first start of the season, Striping didn't allow a runner to get past second base but got the hook after 62 pitches (40 strikes) and didn't last long enough to qualify for a win. The Blue Jays plan to employ a sixth starter on a semi-regular basis all season, but there's no guarantee Stripling will get the call every time as Nate Pearson (illness), Thomas Hatch and others could also be in the mix.
