Morel went 1-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Nationals.

Getting the start at DH and batting sixth, Morel produced his first RBI and first steal as a member of the Marlins. The 26-year-old was signed this offseason to potentially fill a hole at first base, a position he'd never played before in the majors, but an oblique strain in late March delayed the implementation of that plan. In nine games since being activated from the IL, Morel has appeared four times at first base and four times at DH, batting .179 (5-for-28) with a 2:11 BB:K.

Seabold (ankle) struck out two and gave up one hit and no walks over a scoreless inning in his rehab appearance Friday with Single-A Lakeland.

The Tigers placed Seabold on the 15-day injured list April 26 due to left ankle inflammation, but he shouldn't require an extended rehab assignment before making his return from the shelf. The right-hander projects to serve as a multi-inning option out of the Detroit bullpen once he's activated.

The White Sox outrighted Bido to Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Bido cleared waivers after being designated for assignment Friday and appears poised to stick around in the organization as a swingman depth at the Triple-A level. Between big-league stops with Atlanta and Chicago this season, the 30-year-old right-hander delivered a 6.27 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 11:10 K:BB over 18.2 innings in 11 appearances out of the bullpen.

The Cardinals must decide soon whether to return Pushard (knee) to the active roster or expose the Rule 5 pick to waivers, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Pushard -- who is coming back from right knee tendinitis -- checked off what could be the final box on his rehab assignment checklist Sunday with the second of back-to-back appearances at Triple-A Memphis. He's pitched well over his last five rehab outings, yielding a total of one run with an 8:3 K:BB covering six innings. If the Rule 5 pick is added back to St. Louis' active roster, he'll be used in a low-leverage relief role.

Villarroel (knee) is slashing .067/.176/.067 with a 1:4 BB:K across 17 plate appearances in four outings with High-A Eugene this season.

Villarroel briefly played in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League before joining Eugene, which placed him on the 7-day injured list April 3 following offseason meniscus surgery. The 21-year-old catcher has struggled since moving to High-A, going hitless in his first three appearances before logging a single in Sunday's 13-8 win over Vancouver.

Tiedemann (elbow) isn't yet facing live hitters, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

While an earlier report said the 23-year-old southpaw has been cleared for mound work in late April, it doesn't look like Tiedemann's throwing program has progressed much past that point yet. He missed all of 2025 after Tommy John surgery and was shut down this spring due to further elbow soreness, so the Blue Jays' caution with him is understandable. Tiedemann likely won't be a factor for the big-league staff until the second half of the season at the earliest.

Atlanta placed White on the 7-day injured list Monday with a concussion.

White suffered the injury during Sunday's win over the Dodgers when he crashed into the outfield wall after making a catch. His timetable is uncertain, as it is when anyone is shelved by a concussion, but White will be out for the next week, at minimum. Mauricio Dubon will continue seeing more reps in the outfield while White and Ronald Acuna (hamstring) recuperate.

Atlanta activated Kim (finger) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Kim is ready for his season debut after working his way back from January surgery to repair a torn tendon in his right middle finger. The 30-year-old infielder hit .286/.412/.321 with zero home runs, one stolen base and a 6:4 BB:K over nine rehab contests between Double-A Columbus and Triple-A Gwinnett. Kim is set to take over as Atlanta's primary shortstop. Jorge Mateo had been seeking most of the reps at shortstop lately, as Mauricio Dubon has been needed more in the outfield with Ronald Acuna (hamstring). Mateo will now revert back to a reserve role, and Dubon will be a super utility player once Acuna is back in the fold.

Perry has posted a 1.73 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 40:7 K:BB in 26 innings across six games (five starts) between Single-A Dunedin and High-A Vancouver this season.

An unheralded 12th-round pick in the 2022 draft, Perry missed all of 2025 due to Tommy John surgery but has returned with more pop on his fastball, which is now averaging about 94 mph, and a sharper slider. The 22-year-old right-hander still has to prove himself against tougher competition to be viewed as a legitimate prospect, but his numbers to begin 2026 are impressive -- per Mitch Bannon of The Athletic, Perry's 34.4 percent K%-BB% ranks fourth among all minor-league pitchers, with top prospects Seth Hernandez of the Pirates and Kade Anderson of the Mariners being two of the names ahead of him.

Doyle yielded two runs and fanned a career-high eight batters over five innings in a start with Double-A Springfield on Saturday.

The Cardinals have had Doyle expand his repertoire this season, per Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. That's led to inconsistency, with Doyle permitting 14 runs (12 earned) over 11.2 innings covering his first four outings. However, the hard-throwing southpaw looks to have found his rhythm the last two times out, allowing a combined three runs with a 13:1 K:BB over 9 1/3 frames.
