Miles (1-0) picked up the win Saturday against the A's, walking one and striking out one in a scoreless 11th inning.

The Rule 5 pick was thrown right into a high-leverage situation in his big-league debut, and Miles rose to the challenge by stranding the phantom runner before the Blue Jays walked it off in the bottom of the frame. Miles was sitting 97-98 mph with both his two-seam and four-seam fastballs while mixing in a slider that produced his first career strikeout against Max Muncy, and while the 25-year-old right-hander had never pitched above Single-A prior to Saturday, his arsenal could quickly make him an asset in the Toronto bullpen if his control and command hold up.

Varsho went 2-for-4 with two walks, a run scored and an RBI in Saturday's extra-innings win over the A's.

The center fielder went 0-for-4 in the Blue Jays' opener, but Varsho had much more success Saturday even with lefty Jeffrey Springs on the bump for the A's. Varsho launched 20 homers in only 71 regular-season games in 2025, and if he can stay healthy this season he could be headed for career-best power numbers.

The Orioles acquired Sandridge from the Angels on Sunday in exchange for cash and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Sandridge will reclaim a 40-man roster spot with his new organization after being DFA'ed by the Halos, but he's still set to begin the 2026 season in Triple-A, where he put up a 4.55 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 31.2 innings last year. He'll serve as organizational bullpen depth for the O's.

Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Diaz will get a break Sunday after starting the first three games of the season. He's yet to get his bat going, having gone 2-for-12 with a walk, two RBI, a run and five strikeouts. Christian Vazquez is starting behind the plate in the series finale, batting ninth.

Meyers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Meyers has gone 2-for-8 with a walk, a double, a stolen base, two RBI and two runs through two contests but will sit for the second time in Houston's first four games of the season. Joey Loperfido will shift to center field Sunday while Yordan Alvarez picks up a start in the outfield.

Peraza is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Peraza has gone 4-for-11 with a homer while starting the first three games of the year at second base. Adam Frazier will pick up a start at the keystone Sunday to close out the series in Houston.

Pereira will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Pereira will open the season with a third straight start after going 0-for-6 with a walk and five strikeouts through the first two contests. Though White Sox manager Will Venable is giving him a shot to become the primary right fielder, the 24-year-old likely has a short leash given his career .442 OPS in 176 big-league plate appearances coming into the season.

O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

O'Hoppe has gone 3-for-11 with a run scored in the first three games of the season, but he's also struck out five times and committed three errors. Travis d'Arnaud will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Jack Kochanowicz.

Acuna is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

The 24-year-old picked up starts in center field and shortstop in the first two games of the season, going 1-for-7 at the dish. With former Mets teammate Brandon Sproat on the mound for Milwaukee, Acuna will cede his spot in the lineup Sunday to Tristan Peters, who will draw the start in center field and bat ninth.

Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Despite slugging a team-high 22 home runs in 2025, Sosa's path to an everyday role got cloudier over the winter following the additions of Munetaka Murakami and Austin Hays. The White Sox have opened the season with matchups against three straight right-handed starting pitchers, and Sosa has been on the bench to begin two of those games, going 0-for-6 with three strikeouts when he has gotten into the lineup.
