  • Twins' Connor Prielipp: Goes on development list

    Double-A Wichita placed Prielipp on its development list Wednesday.

    Prielipp has a lengthy injury history that includes a Tommy John surgery in 2021 and an internal brace surgery in 2023, so he'll be on a limited innings count in 2025. Wichita's decision to place him on the development list thus looks to be nothing more than a measure to keep his workload in check. Through 23 innings over his eight starts at the Double-A level this season, Prielipp owns a 4.30 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 31:5 K:BB.

  • Zach Eflin SP | BAL

    Orioles' Zach Eflin: Labors again Saturday

    Eflin allowed five runs (four earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out one batter over five-plus innings in a no-decision against Boston in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader.

    Five hits over five frames is typically a pretty good line, but Eflin served up three homers among those knocks. Two of the long balls came among the first three batters he faced, and though the right-hander was able to pitch into the sixth frame, he didn't retire any batters in his final inning, with two more runs being charged to him. Eflin also struggled to miss bats in the outing -- he notched only six whiffs and one punchout. The 31-year-old held a 3.13 ERA through his first four starts of the campaign, but with two straight rough appearances, that number now sits at a poor 5.40. Eflin will try to get back on track in his next start, which lines up to be a promising matchup at home against the White Sox.

  • Casey Mize SP | SD

    Tigers' Casey Mize: Takes first no-decision of season

    Mize allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision versus the Guardians on Saturday.

    Mize picked up where he left off after getting shelved with a mild left hamstring strain earlier in the month. Both runs on his line were scored in the third inning, with Bo Naylor tagging Mize for a solo shot and Jose Ramirez adding an RBI single. Mize was limited to 77 pitches (53 strikes) in this start, but considering his injury was not arm-related, this was likely more a product of game flow than anything to be concerned about. The 28-year-old has taken a big step forward this season, maintaining a 2.45 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 41:10 K:BB across 47.2 innings through eight starts, and he's earned a 6-1 record. Mize's next outing is projected to be at Kansas City.

  • Rays' Shane McClanahan: Resumes throwing progression

    McClanahan (triceps) threw from 90 feet Friday, MLB.com reports.

    McClanahan had been throwing from 60 feet in early May but began to feel discomfort. However, he received reassuring imaging results and is now back ramping up his throwing program. He remains without a timetable to return but is expected to be sidelined until at least July.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Swipes bag in win

    Schneemann went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Saturday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

    Schneemann has hit safely in seven of his last 10 games, going 7-for-30 (.233) in that span. He's carved out a starting role, primarily at second base, since Brayan Rocchio was sent down to Triple-A Columbus, but Schneemann's bat has cooled off a bit after a stronger start to the month. Overall, he's at a .255/.339/.464 slash line with six home runs, five doubles, one steal, 13 RBI and 16 runs scored across 125 plate appearances.

  • Bo Naylor C | MIL

    Guardians' Bo Naylor: Lifts homer in win

    Naylor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

    Naylor has been hitting a little better recently, going 6-for-22 (.273) with a pair of homers over his last seven games. He got the Guardians on the board in the third inning Saturday and added a sacrifice fly in the 10th that stood as the decisive run. The 25-year-old catcher is now at a .200/.295/.433 slash line with seven homers, 16 RBI, 18 runs scored and a stolen base across 39 contests. Naylor remains Cleveland's primary catcher over Austin Hedges.

  • Luis Ortiz SP | CLE

    Guardians' Luis L. Ortiz: Issues five walks in no-decision

    Ortiz allowed three runs on four hits and five walks while striking out three over five innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Tigers.

    The five walks matched a season high for Ortiz, who has issued at least two walks in all but one of his 10 starts so far. The Tigers put up all their runs against him in the first inning, though Ortiz was in line for the loss before the Guardians tied the game in the eighth. The right-hander is now at a 4.73 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 59:28 K:BB across 53.1 innings on the year. He is projected to make his next start at home versus the Angels.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Making impact since return from IL

    Benintendi went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Rangers.

    Benintendi was activated from the injured list Friday after missing nearly three weeks with a calf injury. He has hit cleanup in a pair of games since being reinstated, going a combined 2-for-7 with three RBI. Benintendi should remain a key part of the White Sox's lineup and has managed 14 runs and 15 RBI across 26 games this season.

  • Hunter Harvey RP | CHC

    Royals' Hunter Harvey: Still dealing with sore shoulder

    Harvey (right teres major strain) is still dealing with soreness in his shoulder, the Kansas City Star reports. "He's not throwing off the mound and he is continuing to play catch to keep his arm going. But we need to get all the symptoms out of there before we progress," said manager Matt Quatraro.

    Harvey landed on the 15-day injured list April 11 due to a right teres major strain. He progressed enough in his recovery to throw bullpen sessions, but suffered a setback after experiencing soreness May 7. The right-hander is without a timeline for his return but shouldn't be expected back in the near future.

  • Yennier Cano RP | BAL

    Orioles' Yennier Cano: Bounces back with scoreless inning

    Cano threw a scoreless eighth inning in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox during Game 1 of a doubleheader. He struck out two.

    It was a much-needed bounce-back showing by Cano, who had given up five runs across his prior three outings and nine runs over his previous seven games. His usage in the eighth inning of a tie game Saturday suggests he hasn't dropped down the pecking order as a setup man in Baltimore's bullpen despite his recent shortcomings, but Cano owns an unsightly 12.79 ERA and 2.05 WHIP over his last 6.1 innings.
