  • Tarik Skubal SP | DET

    Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Faces hitters Tuesday

    Skubal (elbow) threw 39 pitches over 2.2 innings in a simulated game Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Skubal struck out three and served up a home run to Jahmai Jones in what was his first time facing hitters since he underwent surgery earlier this month to remove a loose body from his left elbow. Per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com, manager A.J. Hinch said that the two-time Cy Young Award winner is slated to throw another live batting practice session in five days, and Skubal will require at least one minor-league rehab start after that before being activated from the injured list. Skubal continues to make a swift recovery and appears to be tracking toward a return to the Detroit rotation within the next few weeks.

  • David Sandlin SP | CHW

    White Sox's David Sandlin: Entering rotation Wednesday

    The White Sox selected Sandlin's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

    Chicago placed Noah Schultz (knee) on the 15-day injured list in the corresponding move, and the White Sox intend to have Sandlin replace him in the rotation beginning with Wednesday's game against the Twins at Rate Field, per James Fegan of SoxMachine.com. Acquired from the Red Sox during the offseason, Sandlin's organizational debut was delayed until late April while he recovered from a sore elbow, but he was highly productive over a four-start stretch at Charlotte (0.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB in 12 innings). Sandlin didn't cover more than four innings in any of those starts, however, so he'll likely be limited from a workload standpoint Wednesday in his MLB debut.

  • Nick Raquet RP | BAL

    Orioles' Nick Raquet: Returns to majors

    The Orioles recalled Raquet from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

    Raquet has permitted three runs with a 1:2 K:BB in 2.2 innings during his brief time with the Orioles this season and boasts a 3.29 ERA and 18:4 K:BB across 16.2 frames this year at the Triple-A level. He'll give manager Craig Albernaz another lefty relief option.

  • Dietrich Enns RP | BAL

    Orioles' Dietrich Enns: Booted off 40-man roster

    The Orioles designated Enns for assignment Tuesday.

    Enns pitched well down the stretch last season for Baltimore but has been less sharp in 2026, holding a 3.94 ERA and 13:11 K:BB over 16 frames. Because he's making $2.625 million this season, Enns is likely to clear waivers and remain in the organization at Triple-A Norfolk.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Taking seat Tuesday

    Narvaez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

    It's a routine day off for Narvaez, who has now started four of the last six contests at catcher. Mickey Gasper is getting a rare start behind the dish for the Red Sox in Tuesday's series opener.

  • Nick Davila RP | SEA

    Mariners' Nick Davila: Sent back to minors

    The Mariners optioned Davila to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

    Davila hasn't allowed a run in his first 7.1 big-league innings, but a 4:6 K:BB over that stretch points to trouble down the road. The 27-year-old is heading out in order to free roster space for the return of Gabe Speier (shoulder).

  • Gabe Speier RP | SEA

    Mariners' Gabe Speier: Returns from IL

    The Mariners activated Speier (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

    Speier has been out for all of May with left shoulder inflammation, but he's been cleared to rejoin the Mariners' bullpen after making a couple rehab appearances. Nick Davila has been optioned to Triple-A Tacoma to free a spot on the active roster for Speier's return.

  • Gage Jump SP | ATH

    Athletics' Gage Jump: Set to make MLB debut Tuesday

    Jump will be called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to make his major-league debut Tuesday with a start against the Mariners, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Reports had surfaced earlier Tuesday indicating that Jump was on his way to the big leagues, and now there's a specific date attached to his debut. Tuesday's previously scheduled starter, Luis Severino, will be pushed back as a result of Jump's addition to the rotation. Jump has collected a 4.50 ERA and 56:20 K:BB over 38 innings with Las Vegas this season and has spun 11 shutout frames with a 15:1 K:BB in his last two starts.

  • Rays' Casey Legumina: Strong start with new team

    Legumina allowed two hits and no walks in two scoreless innings of relief Monday against the Orioles. He struck out two.

    After posting a 4.63 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 11.2 innings for the Mariners, the 28-year-old right-hander has been more effective since being acquired by the Rays in late April. Over 10 frames since joining Tampa Bay's bullpen, Legumina has a 1.80 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 6:3 K:BB with one hold, while working mostly as a middle reliever.

  • William Dion RP | CLE

    Guardians' Will Dion: Contract selected

    The Guardians selected Dion's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

    Dion has transitioned into a full-time reliever in 2026, and while his ERA at Columbus is a tad bloated at 4.50, he's put up an impressive 36:5 K:BB over 26 innings. The left-hander will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.
