Henderson (1-0) earned a win after he pitched six innings, allowing one run on three hits and a walk while striking out nine batters in Sunday's 14-1 victory over the Athletics.

Henderson was nothing short of spectacular in his major-league debut, tossing four scoreless frames to begin his outing. The only blemish on his line came in the top of the fifth inning, when he surrendered a one-out solo home run to Seth Brown. Henderson will likely return to Triple-A Nashville in the near future, but Sunday's performance should lead to another chance with the Brewers down the road this season.

Glasnow exited Sunday's game against the Rangers due to cramps in his right lower leg.

Dodgers fans and fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief, as the oft-injured Glasnow isn't dealing with a serious issue. The right-hander was pitching well prior to exiting the contest with six strikeouts across four scoreless innings, and he now has a 3.71 ERA through four starts this year. Los Angeles has two team off days this week, so Glasnow should naturally get some extra rest before his next turn through the rotation.

Manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday that Alvarez (hand) is scheduled to continue his minor-league rehab assignment this week, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The skipper previously indicated that Alvarez could be back during the current homestand, which ends Wednesday, but it appears the 23-year-old backstop will be on the shelf for at least a few more days. Alvarez has gone 6-for-27 with a walk and three homers across seven rehab games in the minors, and he's still on track to make his season debut for the Mets before the end of April.

Bryant said Sunday that he recently received a couple injections to relieve inflammation in his back, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

The 33-year-old was placed on the 10-day injured list last Monday after being diagnosed with a lumbar degenerative disc disease, but he was initially expected to return after a minimum-length stay on the shelf. However, Bryant said Sunday that he could "barely move and felt nauseated" after going through exercises Saturday, so it wouldn't be surprising if he's not activated Wednesday when first eligible.

Glasnow was removed in the fifth inning of Sunday's game against the Rangers due to an apparent right lower leg injury, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The right-hander was checked by the athletic trainer in the fourth inning before completing the frame, and he ended up being pulled after his first pitch of the fifth inning showed reduced velocity. The good news is that Glasnow doesn't appear to be dealing with an arm issue, but his status is still worth monitoring given his extensive injury history. Before exiting the contest, Glasnow had allowed just three hits with six strikeouts and a walk over four frames.

Matz's turn through the rotation will be skipped for the upcoming series against Atlanta, which begins Monday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

The left-hander made his first start of the season last Wednesday and was expected to operate as St. Louis' No. 6 starter going forward, but the club will temporarily move him back to the bullpen due to Thursday's team off day. Matz is expected to re-enter the rotation next weekend versus Milwaukee, and he's likely to get at least a couple turns since the Cardinals have a stretch of 13 straight games from April 25 to May 7.

Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The 31-year-old started Friday against Halos lefty Tyler Anderson after Casey Schmitt (oblique) was scratched from the lineup, marking Wade's first start of the season versus a southpaw. He'll return to the bench Sunday with left-hander Yusei Kikuchi taking the mound for Anaheim, opening up first base for David Villar.

Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The veteran outfielder started the previous four games, including two versus southpaws, but he'll head to the bench Sunday against lefty Yusei Kikuchi. Yastrzemski has had a resurgent start to the year with a .930 OPS, three homers, 11 RBI, 10 runs and a 12:16 BB:K in 74 plate appearances. Luis Matos is manning right field and batting sixth in the series finale at Anaheim.

Ruiz is not in the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

The 26-year-old was never likely to start both games of the twin bill and will take a seat for the matinee. Ruiz has gone 1-for-13 over his past three games but has a .791 OPS for the season, and he should be back behind the plate for Sunday's nightcap.

Call is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

After making starts in 11 of 12 games, Call finds himself on the bench for the second straight game. The 30-year-old has been productive early in 2025 with a .300/.415/.400 slash line and 10:3 BB:K through 54 plate appearances.
