    Mets' R.J. Gordon: Out with lat injury

    Double-A Binghamton placed Gordon on the 7-day injured list April 2 with a lat injury, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

    The injury is expected to sideline Gordon until late April/early May. The 24-year-old righty logged a 3.69 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 71:15 K:BB in 61 innings at Double-A in 2025.

  • Ryan Walker RP | SF

    Giants' Ryan Walker: Earns hold Tuesday

    Walker picked up a hold in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Phillies, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one in 1.1 scoreless innings.

    As was the case in Robbie Ray's last start, Walker replaced him on the mound upon Ray's exit. Walker entered in the seventh inning with two outs and two on, escaping the frame by inducing a groundout. He allowed a single to the first batter he faced in the eighth and later issued a walk, though he didn't surrender a run. The right-hander may continue to follow Ray in his starts, though Walker is still expected to see save situations and other high-leverage innings. He has a save and a hold through five outings this season, posting a 4.15 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 5:3 K:BB across 4.1 innings.

  • Dylan Ross P | NYM

    Mets' Dylan Ross: Shelved at Triple-A

    Triple-A Syracuse placed Ross on the 7-day injured list March 27 due to arm fatigue, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

    Dykstra reports that Ross should join the Triple-A bullpen shortly. Ross, who is already on the 40-man roster, logged a 1.69 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 39:22 K:BB in 32 innings across 28 appearances at Triple-A in 2025.

  • Cardinals' Victor Scott: Receives day off Wednesday

    Scott is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Nationals.

    Scott will get his first day off of the season after stealing a couple of bases but doing little else offensively through the Cardinals' first 11 games, slashing .265/.265/.294 with a 0:10 BB:K. Nathan Church will grab a start in center field and bat ninth.

  • Blake Perkins RF | MIL

    Brewers' Blake Perkins: Sitting after four straight starts

    Perkins is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    After starting in each of the last four games while going 3-for-15 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a 2:7 BB:K, Perkins will hit the bench as the Brewers wrap up their three-game series in Boston. Milwaukee will roll out an outfield of Brandon Lockridge, Garrett Mitchell and Sal Frelick from left to right Wednesday. Perkins is capable of playing all three outfield spots, but he looks set to see most of his reps in left field as part of a timeshare with Lockridge while Milwaukee awaits Jackson Chourio's (hand) return from the injured list.

  • Max Williams LF | MIA

    Marlins' Max Williams: Recovering from shoulder surgery

    Single-A Jupiter placed Williams on the 60-day injured list March 20 after he had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left (throwing) shoulder in February, Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline reports.

    Callis relays that the hope is for Williams to start getting at-bats at designated hitter in July. Williams hit .269 with zero home runs and five steals in 19 games at Single-A last year after the Marlins selected him in the third round out of Florida State.

  • Luis Rengifo 2B | MIL

    Brewers' Luis Rengifo: Collecting fourth straight start

    Rengifo will start at third base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Rengifo will cover third base for a fourth straight game after going 2-for-14 with a pair of doubles and a run scored over the previous three contests. Despite the recent uptick in playing time, Rengifo won't necessarily be in line for an everyday role moving forward. He's benefited from Milwaukee facing two left-handed starters during this four-game stretch, as well as Brice Turang being held out of the lineup for the latter two contests while battling what appears to be a minor ankle injury.

  • Heliot Ramos LF | SF

    Giants' Heliot Ramos: Grabbing first day off

    Ramos is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

    Ramos will get his first day off of the season after a dreadful start in which he's produced a .437 OPS and 40.8 percent strikeout rate in his first 12 contests. Jerar Encarnacion will play left field and bat sixth for the Giants against righty Aaron Nola.

  • Giants' Daniel Susac: Tallies three hits in victory

    Susac went 3-for-4 with two RBI, a run scored and a triple in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Phillies.

    With Patrick Bailey getting the night off, Susac made his second big-league start and turned in another impressive performance. The 24-year-old catcher singled in the second inning and added another base hit in the fifth before coming around to score. He also delivered a two-run triple in the eighth, driving in San Francisco's final runs. Across eight plate appearances this season, he has gone 6-for-7 with one walk. While Bailey should continue to see the majority of the reps behind the plate, Susac's strong play to begin the season could result in more playing time. Per Maria Guardado of MLB.com, manager Tony Vitello said, "I think [Susac has] earned the right to be out there for us more often. It's not an easy thing to go out there all the time. ... You'll be seeing plenty of both guys as the season goes on."

  • Esmil Valencia CF | MIA

    Marlins' Esmil Valencia: Sidelined at Single-A

    Single-A Jupiter placed Valencia on the 7-day injured list Tuesday with a broken finger, Fish On First Prospects reports.

    Valencia went 3-for-10 with a triple and two steals in three games for the Hammerheads before suffering the injury. He should return sometime this summer.
