Povich (1-2) earned the win against the Nationals on Thursday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out five across 6.2 innings.

Povich logged his second quality start of the season Thursday, tossing 87 pitches (60 strikes) while generating 21 first-pitch strikes to 25 batters. His lone blemish came in the second inning on a Josh Bell RBI single, but Povich rebounded to retire 11 of the last 13 batters he faced. Povich has yielded three earned runs or less in four of his five starts this season but has a 5.04 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB across 25 innings. He'll look to make it two wins in a row in his next start, tentatively slated for next week at home against the Yankees.

Lorenzen (2-3) earned the win over the Rockies in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader, allowing one run on five hits and four walks over six innings. He struck out seven.

It was a solid performance from Lorenzen, who held Colorado off the board until Jordan Beck launched a solo home run with two outs in the sixth inning despite issuing three-plus walks for the third time this year. The 33-year-old Lorenzen lowered his ERA to 3.90 with a 1.45 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB through his first five starts (27.2 innings) of 2025. Lorenzen is currently in line to face the Rays on the road in his next outing.

Mullins went 1-for-4 with one stolen base and an RBI in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Nationals.

Mullins knocked in the go-ahead run in the fifth inning, when his single off MacKenzie Gore brought Ryan O'Hearn home. Mullins is in the midst of a six-game hitting streak, going 7-for-23 with four walks, two stolen bases, four runs scored, two home runs and three RBI over that span.

Duran went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Seattle.

Duran doubled in the third inning and scored on an Alex Bregman single two batters later. The double extended Duran's hit streak to 11 games, during which he's 13-for-47 (.276) with four doubles, one triple, one home run, three RBI, two steals and six runs.

Devers went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Mariners.

Devers extended a hitless streak to 16 at-bats and finished Boston's seven-game homestand 2-for-23, which caused his batting average to dip below .200. He's had a few pockets of hitless runs in 2025, including a historic season-opening slump, when Devers struck out 15 times in his first 19 at-bats. On the bright side, he worked another eight walks during the homestand, and his 18.3 walk percentage is a career high.

Gilbert will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Friday's game against the Athletics,Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Gilbert will be making his first MLB start since the 2022 season Friday, likely covering the first 1-to-3 innings of the game before giving way to Sean Burke, who had previously been in line to start in the series opener in Sacramento. Over his six appearances out of the bullpen this season, Gilbert has covered 5.2 innings while allowing five earned runs on five hits and three walks.

Gelof (wrist) is expected to begin a rehab assignment early next week, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.

Gelof has yet to play this season but has resumed taking batting practice and running the bases this week. He will report directly to Triple-A Las Vegas and is expected to get at least 35 at-bats, meaning a mid-May return remains realistic.

Garabito was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock by the Rangers on Thursday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Garabito earned a roster spot out of spring training but was optioned to Round Rock on April 8. He'll return to the majors Thursday with Kumar Rocker (shoulder) sidelined and will likely pitch in long relief out of the bullpen.

Rocker was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement Thursday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Rocker was crushed in a short outing Wednesday for five earned runs across only 1.2 innings. It's unclear if he was dealing with the issue at that point, but he'll now be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks and potentially longer.

Eisert collected the save in Thursday's 3-0 rain-shortened win over the Twins, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in a scoreless seventh inning. He did not issue a walk.

Eisert was brought in for the seventh inning and needed 14 pitches (eight strikes) to get through the frame, only giving up a double to Christian Vazquez. The game was delayed following the seventh inning due to rain and was called an hour later, giving Eisert the first save of his major-league career. He has a 4.76 ERA. 1.32 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB across 11.1 innings this season.
