Walker went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and four RBI in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Yankees.

Walker extended his hitting streak to four games Sunday and also went deep in his second consecutive contest. The veteran first baseman is off to a strong start at the plate in 2026, batting .291 with seven homers, eight doubles, 23 RBI and 13 walks across 103 at-bats. Walker is already up to four three-hit efforts on the campaign as well.

Judge went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Astros.

Judge tagged Astros right-hander Spencer Arrighetti for his 10th long ball of the season in the sixth inning, his first extra-base hit since April 19.. The superstar outfielder hasn't been hitting for a high average, but he's supplied plenty of pop so far. Judge is slashing .230/.369/.560 with 13 extra-base hits, 18 RBI, 21 walks and five stolen bases over 123 plate appearances.

Arrighetti (3-0) notched the win Sunday against the Yankees, allowing one run on three hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out eight.

The right-hander did serve up a pair of extra-base hits, including a sixth-inning home run to Aaron Judge, but he was excellent otherwise Sunday in what was his longest appearance of the campaign thus far. Arrighetti has now begun his season with three straight starts of at least five innings, giving up two runs or fewer in each outing. He's set to bring a strong 2.00 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 21:9 K:BB over 18 frames into his next start versus the Red Sox.

Watts-Brown (shoulder) is set to be activated from the 7-day injured list, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Watts-Brown will return to action after dealing with a shoulder injury for the last couple weeks. The right-handed pitcher will join Double-A Chesapeake ahead of the team's series against Erie beginning Tuesday.

Prielipp is slated to start Monday's game against the Mariners at Target Field.

The Twins have elected to keep the 25-year-old lefty around for another turn through the rotation after a serviceable showing in his MLB debut Wednesday, when he struck out six and allowed two earned runs on four hits and no walks over four innings in a no-decision versus the Mets. Since Mick Abel (elbow) is set to remain on the injured list through at least the upcoming week, Prielipp will tentatively line up for a two starts, with his second turn expected to come over the weekend at home versus the Blue Jays.

Tolle is slated to make his next start Tuesday against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, Chris Henrique of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Tolle's inclusion in the rotation for at least one more turn was a foregone conclusion after the 23-year-old lefty dazzled in his 2026 MLB debut this past Thursday. While making a start in place of the injured Sonny Gray (hamstring), Tolle racked up 11 punchouts and allowed just one earned run on three hits and one walk over six innings in a no-decision against the Yankees. Gray could be ready to return from the IL when first eligible May 6 or soon thereafter, but the Red Sox may still be willing to keep Tolle around in the rotation if he continues to pitch well and/or if Brayan Bello (9.00 ERA, 2.27 WHIP in 22 innings this season) continues to languish.

Hurter (3-0) tossed a scoreless inning of relief and earned the win in Sunday's 8-3 victory over the Reds.

Hurter came on in the sixth inning with the Reds up 3-2, then picked up another win out of the bullpen when the Tigers scored four times in the seventh and twice more in the eighth. The lefty's three wins are already one behind his total from the 2025 regular season and half as many as he had during his encouraging 2024 rookie campaign. Hurter has been solid overall this year with a 2.45 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 11 innings so far.

The Yankees optioned Gil to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after his start in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Astros.

Gil was tagged with a loss after he tossed four innings and allowing six earned runs on five hits and three walks. The right-hander was coming off a scoreless outing in Boston on Tuesday, when he tossed 6.1 innings while striking out two. Gil now owns a 1-2 record while posting a 6.05 ERA and 1.34 WHIP with nine punchouts over 19.1 innings in four starts with New York in 2026. The Yankees haven't yet named a replacement in the rotation for Gil.

Carpenter went 2-for-5 with a two-run double and a run scored during the Tigers' 8-3 win over the Reds on Sunday.

Carpenter opened Sunday's scoring with a two-run double in the first inning before coming home to score in the seventh on a sacrifice fly from Matt Vierling. Carpenter has logged at least one hit in four of his last five games, and over that span he has gone 5-for-16 (.313) with two home runs, five RBI and three runs scored.

Lee went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run during the Tigers' 8-3 win over the Reds on Sunday.

Lee didn't start in Sunday's game, but he came in to pinch hit for Colt Keith in the seventh inning, and the move paid off for the Tigers when Lee took the second pitch he saw from Sam Moll deep to center field for a two-run homer. It was the first major-league home run of Lee's career, and the 23-year-old should continue to spend time with the big club for as long as Zach McKinstry (hip/abdomen) is on the 10-day injured list.
