    Angels' Zach Neto: On base four times in win

    Neto went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Tigers.

    The star shortstop racked up his third multi-hit performance in the last four games as he continues to turn around a sluggish start to the season. Since May 5, Neto is slashing .278/.376/.569 with 10 extra-base hits including five homers, 10 RBI and 15 runs in 19 contests.

  • Vaughn Grissom 1B | LAA

    Angels' Vaughn Grissom: Clubs grand slam in big win

    Grissom went 3-for-5 with a home run and six RBI in Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Tigers.

    The 25-year-old infielder got the Angels on the board with a two-run single in the third inning before launching his first career grand slam off Will Vest in the eighth to put his team in the lead for good. Grissom snapped a 2-for-28 skid with the big performance, and since joining the big-league roster in mid-April he's slashing .233/.308/.379 with three homers, eight runs and 19 RBI in 32 games while seeing action at first base, second base and third base. Advanced stats paint a rosier picture, however -- his 91.0 mph average exit velocity and 47.9 percent hard-hit rate are comparable to Mike Trout's.

  • Joe Ryan SP | MIN

    Twins' Joe Ryan: Strikes out nine in no-decision

    Ryan didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing two runs on five hits across 7.2 innings. He struck out nine.

    The nine punchouts tied a season-high mark for Ryan, who has now struck out at least seven in each of his last three starts. He's also in a run of four consecutive quality starts since lasting just one-third of an inning against the Blue Jays on March 3, when an injury scare forced him off the mound. Ryan has now gone 1-0 with a 1.75 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 30:4 K:BB across his last 25.2 innings. He'll aim to continue his impressive stretch in his next start, scheduled for this weekend against the Pirates on the road.

  • Cardinals' Michael McGreevy: Takes loss Tuesday

    McGreevy (3-4) was tagged with the loss Tuesday against the Brewers, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks across four innings. He fanned six.

    McGreevy had an excellent four-start stretch between April 26 and May 14, posting a 0.75 ERA and allowing just two earned runs in 24 innings, but regression has hit him hard. Over his last two appearances, he's gone 0-2 with an 8.00 ERA and 2.33 WHIP across nine frames. McGreevy isn't as bad as that 8.00 ERA indicates, nor is he as good as his 2.98 overall mark would suggest. McGreevy will aim to bounce back in his next start, which should be scheduled for next week at home against the Rangers.

  • Luis Robert CF | BAL

    Mets' Luis Robert: Hits 60-day IL

    The Mets transferred Robert (spine) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

    Robert landed on the 10-day IL on April 30 due to lumbar spine disc herniation and has yet to resume baseball activities while he continues to deal with lingering symptoms of the injury. While surgery isn't on the table for Robert at this point, the 28-year-old has received consultation from outside doctors regarding a treatment plan for his symptoms, per MLB.com. Robert remains without an official timeline for a return, though his move to the 60-day IL ensures that he won't be an option for the Mets until at least late June.

  • Miles Mikolas RP | WAS

    Nationals' Miles Mikolas: Will follow opener Wednesday

    Mikolas is slated to follow an opener Wednesday in Cleveland, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.

    PJ Poulin will open the game for the Nationals before Mikolas handles the bulk of the workload. Mikolas has collected a 3.74 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in five bulk relief outings this season, as compared to an 8.28 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in six traditional starts.

  • Kyle Harrison SP | MIL

    Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Earns sixth win of season

    Harrison (6-1) earned the win Tuesday against the Cardinals after tossing six scoreless innings, allowing four hits and striking out two.

    Harrison was unable to repeat his dominant 11-strikeout performance against the Cubs on May 20. However, this was the third straight start in which he didn't allow runs, lowering his ERA to an impressive 1.57 over 51.2 innings in 10 starts. Harrison has been one of the breakout starting pitchers of 2026 and he's slated to make his next start against the Giants at home next week.

  • Angels' Jack Kochanowicz: Escapes with no-decision Tuesday

    Kochanowicz didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Tigers, surrendering five runs on six hits and two walks over four-plus innings. He struck out four.

    The right-hander kept the ball in the yard, but there wasn't much else positive to take away from the performance. Kochanowicz has gone eight straight starts without getting into the win column, going 0-3 over that span with a 5.64 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 33:20 K:BB in 44.2 innings, but he has managed four quality starts during that time. He'll try to end his winless streak in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come on the road this weekend in Tampa Bay.

  • PJ Poulin RP | WAS

    Nationals' PJ Poulin: Another opener assignment

    Poulin will serve as the opening pitcher for the Nationals in Wednesday's game versus the Guardians, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.

    Poulin opened the series opener Monday, too, allowing one run on a solo home run in his two innings of work. Miles Mikolas is slated to absorb the bulk of the innings for the Nationals on Wednesday.

  • Rays' Jesse Scholtens: Heads to IL due to wrist strain

    The Rays placed Scholtens on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to a right wrist strain.

    Scholtens presumably sustained the injury during his relief appearance against the Orioles on Monday, when he was charged with the loss and a blown save after surrendering five runs (three earned) on four hits over 1.1 innings. Tampa Bay signed right-hander Craig Kimbrel to a one-year deal and will have him take over Scholtens' spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen.
