MLB Player News

Jung (neck) went 1-for-3 with a two-RBI single in a rehab appearance with Double-A Frisco on Saturday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Jung served as the designated hitter Saturday but will play third base Sunday. Assuming that appearance goes to plan, he'll travel with the Rangers on their upcoming road trip and could be activated from the injured list as soon as Monday.

Miller earned a save against the Rockies on Saturday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters over one scoreless inning.

Miller had a relatively easy time preserving a three-run lead -- he gave up a one-out infield single but needed just 13 pitches to retire the side. The save was the second in as many days and third overall for the flamethrowing righty, who has yet to give up a run through four innings this season. He's been as dominant as ever with an 8:1 K:BB and just two hits allowed over that span.

Sears (1-1) earned the win over Colorado on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 6.1 innings.

Sears fell behind 3-0 through three innings, but he didn't give up any runs thereafter, and an Athletics comeback helped him pick up his first win of the campaign. The southpaw has notched a quality start in each of his two outings so far this season after achieving that feat 13 times in 32 starts last year. Sears will look to keep rolling his next time on the mound, which is projected to be next week at home against the Mets.

The Red Sox will call up Dobbins from Triple-A Worcester ahead of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals, Alex Speier of the Boston Globe reports.

The exact circumstances of the promotion are unclear, but Dobbins will presumably be designated as the 27th player for the twin bill and is likely to be immediately optioned to Worcester once the twin bill concludes. Dobbins has worked exclusively as a starter throughout his professional career, so he could be in line to start either of the two games or serve as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen. He has made five career appearances with Worcester and maintained a 4.07 ERA and 1.44 WHIP across 24.1 frames.

DeGrom allowed four earned runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out three across 5.2 innings Saturday against the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.

DeGrom was staked to a four-run lead and held the Rays in check through five innings. However, he gave up a two-run home run in the sixth inning and was pulled in the same frame after allowing a two-out double with the runner ultimately coming around to score. While the line was a bit inflated, deGrom uncharacteristically struggled to get strikeouts and was forced to work around plenty of baserunners.

Witt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Orioles.

Witt has gotten off to a relatively slow start to the season, as he had only one extra-base hit across 29 at-bats entering Saturday's game. While it was a quiet game offensively for the Royals, Witt managed to change his fortunes a bit by slugging his first home run of the campaign in the sixth inning. He's also shown aggressiveness on the basepaths, recording three steals on four attempts.

Wacha (0-2) allowed four earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five across 5.2 innings to take the loss Saturday against the Orioles.

Wacha worked through five innings fairly effectively, giving up only two earned runs in the second frame. However, he allowed a pair of hitters to reach base in the sixth inning before being pulled and suffered from an inflated line after both came around to score. Positively, Wacha was much sharper than his first start of the season when he walked four over just four innings.

Sanchez went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Saturday's game against the Royals.

Sanchez drew his third start of the season Saturday and recorded his first hit of the campaign on a two-RBI single in the second inning. He's started every third game behind the dish to give Adley Rutschman rest, and he's likely to remain strictly a backup given the presence of Rutschman and Baltimore's wide range of options at designated hitter.

O'Neill went 2-for-3 with a double, a triple, two RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Royals.

O'Neill tallied multiple hits for the third time in eight starts this season, with his biggest contribution coming on a two-RBI triple in the seventh inning. He now has five total extra-base hits despite failing to go yard since Opening Day.

Sugano (1-1) allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out four across 5.1 innings to earn the win Saturday against the Royals.

Sugano had a shaky MLB debut that ended early due to cramps, but he managed to bounce back Saturday to earn his first MLB win. He began 17 of the 23 batters he faced with a strike and induced several softly hit flyballs for easy outs. Unsurprisingly, Sugano hasn't showcased overpowering stuff early in his big-league sample, but he has been capable of limiting runs and should be in line for plenty of wins with the support of the Baltimore offense.
