Jansen went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Orioles.

After hitting a single and a double in his first two at-bats, Jansen belted a 409-foot homer in the seventh inning to give Texas a 7-3 lead. The 30-year-old backstop was making his return to the starting lineup after sitting out the previous two contests in favor of Kyle Higashioka, but Jansen still figures to be the preferred option behind the plate.

DeGrom allowed three earned runs on six hits and no walks while striking out seven batters across 4.2 innings during Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Orioles. He did not factor into the decision.

DeGrom allowed just three batters to reach base through the first four innings, though one of them was Pete Alonso, who put the O's on the scoreboard with a leadoff homer in the fourth. A defensive miscue from Wyatt Langford in the fifth allowed Baltimore to tally two more runs against deGrom, causing the veteran righty to leave Tuesday's contest after 79 pitches with the score knotted at three apiece. He's lined up to make his next start at home against the Mariners and may be allowed to pitch a bit deeper into that contest, at which point he'll be further removed from the neck issues that delayed his debut.

Jansen blew the save in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Diamondbacks, allowing a run on a hit while striking out one in one-third of an inning.

The veteran right-hander was called upon to preserve the Tigers' one-run lead with runners on the corners and two outs in the eighth inning, but he instead served up a three-run homer to rookie Jose Fernandez. Jansen punched out the next batter he faced to end the frame, but the damage was done. The 38-year-old is now 1-for-2 in save chances to begin the year, and Tuesday's outing isn't likely to affect his job security as Detroit's closer, barring additional struggles.

Mize did not factor into the decision Tuesday, striking out nine and allowing one run on four hits and two walks over six innings during a 7-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Mize induced 15 swinging strikes on 93 pitches as he limited Arizona to a solo homer across six frames, but he lost out on the victory due to an eighth-inning collapse by the Detroit bullpen. The right-hander has never been a big punchout guy with a career 19.5 percent strikeout rate, but his splitter was in top form Tuesday, generating nine whiffs and six strikeouts. Mize lines up for a favorable road matchup against the Twins early next week.

McClanahan (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits and three walks over 4.2 innings against Milwaukee. He struck out four.

The left-hander took an MLB mound Tuesday for the first time since August of 2023 after missing the past two seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery and a subsequent nerve issue. McClanahan kept the Brewers off the board through four frames but was unable to escape the fifth, giving up three runs on two hits, two walks and an error. The 28-year-old threw 50 of 79 pitches for strikes and averaged 95.4 mph with his fastball, which is a tick slower than his 2023 velocity but is still an encouraging figure in his first start back, especially given that he topped out at 97.4 mph. A home matchup with the Cubs is likely on deck for McClanahan early next week.

Bello (0-1) took the loss against the Astros on Tuesday, allowing six runs (five earned) on eight hits and three walks while striking out two across 4.2 innings.

Bello pitched to a 5.65 ERA during spring training, and things didn't get any better in his first regular-season start. Yordan Alvarez took Bello deep in the fifth inning, and four of the next five Astros reached base to bounce Bello from the game. Bello turned in a career-best 3.35 ERA across 29 starts last regular season, but his 4.19 FIP suggested it was a bit of a fluke. Bello will need to pitch better to hold off other starting candidates including Payton Tolle, Johan Oviedo, Kutter Crawford (wrist) and Patrick Sandoval (elbow) once everyone is healthy. Bello's next start is scheduled for Monday against the Brewers.

Cano (0-1) took the loss Tuesday versus the Rangers, allowing one run on two hits and no walks in the sixth inning.

Cano had given the Orioles a pair of scoreless outing during the club's opening series against the Twins, but he gave up his first run of the season Tuesday. The right-hander pitched fairly well during the spring to make Baltimore's Opening Day bullpen, posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 6:0 K:BB over seven Grapefruit League innings, but Cano could fall into a lesser role once Andrew Kittredge (shoulder) and Keegan Akin (groin) are ready to return.

Smith went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the Red Sox.

Smith took Jovani Moran deep in the seventh inning for his first home run of the season. Smith entered play Tuesday with just two hits in 21 trips to the plate, but he's now reached base five times over the last two games and has drawn five walks in six games this season after walking just 8.7 percent of the time in 2025. Smith is competing for at-bats with Jake Meyers, Joey Loperfido and Brice Matthews in the Houston outfield, but the Astros want Smith to take hold of right field.

Alvarez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the Red Sox.

Alvarez has now homered in back-to-back games after taking Brayan Bello deep in the fifth inning. He previously drove home Jeremy Pena with an RBI double in the first inning against Bello. Coming off an injury-plagued 2025 season, Alvarez looks back to his normal self in the early going this season, slashing .381/.536/.905 with three home runs, six RBI, six runs scored and a 6:4 BB:K across 28 plate appearances.

Brown (1-0) earned the win against the Red Sox on Tuesday, allowing one run on one hit and two walks while striking out eight across six innings.

After throwing 102 pitches across 4.2 innings Thursday against the Angels, Brown made quick work of the Boston lineup Tuesday and was pulled after 78 pitches with a 6-1 lead. Brown looks like he's ready to take another step forward in his fourth full season at the big-league level. Through two starts and 10.2 innings, Brown has 17 strikeouts and a 0.84 ERA. Brown is next scheduled to take the mound Monday against the Rockies at Coors Field.
