  • White Sox's Seranthony Dominguez: Solid showing in extras

    Dominguez (1-1) allowed one run (none earned) on no hits and no walks while striking out two to earn the win Friday against the Blue Jays.

    Dominguez entered the game with the score tied and two outs in the ninth inning, and he was able to strike out Kazuma Okamoto to strand a runner at second. He then stayed in the game for the 10th frame, with the only run allowed coming due to a throwing error by Miguel Vargas. This was a needed showing from Dominguez, as he hadn't made an appearance since blowing a save chance and recording only one out Sunday against the Brewers.

    Orioles' Rico Garcia: Strong start in 2026

    Garcia threw a clean ninth inning Friday against the Pirates.

    Garcia is now up to 3.1 scoreless innings to begin the season, posting a 4:0 K:BB through three appearances. The 32-year-old right-hander helped pick up the pieces in Baltimore's beleaguered bullpen late last year, producing a 2.84 ERA and 20:6 K:BB with nine holds in 19 regular-season frames for the Orioles in 2025, and he's making a case for high-leverage work early on in 2026.

  • White Sox's Luisangel Acuna: Tallies third steal

    Acuna went 1-for-3 with a stolen base Friday against the Blue Jays.

    Acuna has alternated starts at shortstop and center field, but he has been in the lineup for six of Chicago's seven games this season. He has at least one hit in three consecutive appearances, and his stolen base Friday marked his third of the season. Acuna has yet to log an extra-base hit, so his counting stats are likely to remain limited, but he does appear to have a green light on the basepaths.

  • Framber Valdez SP | DET

    Tigers' Framber Valdez: Blanks Cards for first win of 2026

    Valdez (1-0) collected the win in Friday's 4-0 victory over St. Louis, allowing three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out five.

    The southpaw recorded his second straight quality start to begin his tenure with the Tigers. Valdez tossed 61 of 91 pitches for strikes, and through 12 innings with Detroit he's delivered a 0.75 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is set to come on the road next week in Minnesota.

  • Orioles' Jackson Holliday: Shaking off rust in minors

    Holliday (hand) has gone 5-for-18 (.278) with two doubles, three RBI, one run scored and through five minor-league rehab appearances with Triple-A Norfolk.

    Holliday is continuing his recovery from February right hand surgery. Since the 22-year-old middle infielder was unable to get any reps during Grapefruit League play, he's likely to require at least another handful of rehab games before the Orioles feel comfortable reinstating him from the injured list. Once he's ready to make his season debut with Baltimore, Holliday is expected to serve as the club's primary second baseman in 2026.

  • MacKenzie Gore SP | TEX

    Rangers' MacKenzie Gore: Strikes out nine in no-decision

    Gore did not factor into the decision in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Reds, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks with nine strikeouts over six innings.

    Gore surrendered all three runs via the long ball but still turned in his first quality start in a Rangers uniform. The southpaw threw 57 of 88 pitches for strikes and generated 13 whiffs in a second straight solid outing with his new club. He's allowed five earned runs through 11.1 innings with a 16:3 K:BB and lines up for a home matchup against the Mariners next week.

  • Taylor Ward LF | BAL

    Orioles' Taylor Ward: Reaches base three times

    Ward went 1-for-3 with a double, one RBI and two walks in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Pirates.

    The Orioles' leadoff man continues to showcase his on-base skills early on this season, as he's now slashing .333/.424/.444 across 33 plate appearances. Ward is still looking for his first home run with Baltimore, but he's doubled three times with five RBI, two runs scored and a 5:7 BB:K through seven appearances.

  • Orioles' Gunnar Henderson: Swats second homer in loss

    Henderson went 3-for-5 with a double, solo home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Pirates.

    Henderson entered play Friday with just four hits on the season, so this was a breakthrough performance for the 24-year-old shortstop. Henderson doubled home Blaze Alexander in the fifth inning before taking Gregory Soto deep for a solo homer in the ninth. Through seven contests, Henderson is slashing .233/.303/.500 with two home runs, six RBI, four runs scored and one stolen base across 33 plate appearances.

  • Kyle Bradish SP | BAL

    Orioles' Kyle Bradish: Roughed up in loss to Bucs

    Bradish (0-2) suffered the loss Friday against the Pirates, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out six across four innings.

    Bradish struck out the side in the first inning, but six of the eight batters he faced in the second frame reached base, including RBI hits by Konnor Griffin, Jared Triolo, Henry Davis and Oneil Cruz. After throwing 83 pitches in his first start of the season, Bradish was limited to 81 pitches Friday. Through two starts, the right-hander has a 6.23 ERA. Bradish is slated to take the mound for his third start Wednesday against the White Sox.

  • Tristan Gray SS | MIN

    Twins' Tristan Gray: Grand slam powers win

    Gray went 1-for-2 with a walk, a grand slam and five RBI in Friday's 10-4 victory over the Rays.

    Gray set a career high with three RBI in his first appearance with the Twins this season, and he reset the mark once again Friday with five RBI. Four of them came on a frozen rope grand slam to break open the game and cap a seven-run seventh inning for the Twins. With his eight RBI, the 30-year-old not only leads the Twins, but he is tied for 4th in MLB.
