  • Orioles' Jeremiah Jackson: Exiting starting nine Wednesday

    Jackson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    Jackson had started at second base in six of the Orioles' previous seven games, but he'll cede the keystone to Blaze Alexander in the series finale in Chicago. Both Jackson and Alexander are likely to see their opportunities at second base dry up once the Orioles are ready to bring Jackson Holliday (hand) back from the injured list.

  • Alec Bohm 3B | PHI

    Phillies' Alec Bohm: Back in action Wednesday

    Bohm (groin) will start at third base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game versus the Giants.

    Bohm was held out of action Tuesday due to some minor groin tightness, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in Wednesday's series finale after one day of rest. The 29-year-old sports a .205/.295/.308 batting line with one home run and a 4:5 BB:K across his first 44 plate appearances this season.

  • Boston Baro 2B | NYM

    Mets' Boston Baro: Out multiple months

    High-A Brooklyn placed Baro on the 60-day injured list March 18 with a right shoulder injury, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

    Dykstra reports that Baro will be back in action in June. The 21-year-old infielder slashed .224/.282/.321 with four home runs and 28 steals in 103 games at High-A a season ago.

  • Jacob deGrom SP | TEX

    Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Locked in to start Sunday

    The Rangers list deGrom (knee) as their probable starter for Sunday's game against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Earlier Wednesday, deGrom relayed that he was already feeling much better, after he had experienced discomfort in his right knee before and during his most recent start in Monday's 2-1 win over the Mariners. The Rangers seemingly concur with deGrom's self-assessment, and barring a setback during his between-starts bullpen session, he'll receive the green light to take the hill on five days' rest during the series finale at Dodger Stadium. Through his first two outings this season, deGrom has submitted a 3.72 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 13:1 K:BB in 9.2 innings.

  • Tyler Kinley RP | ATL

    Braves' Tyler Kinley: Collects first win of season

    Kinley (1-0) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one hit and striking out two over a scoreless two-thirds of an inning in a victory over the Angels.

    Reynaldo Lopez got ejected with two outs in the fifth inning and Atlanta ahead 4-2 at the time, failing to qualify for the win as a result, so Kinley was credited with the decision as the next man out of the bullpen. Kinley has had a strong start to the season, posting a 0.00 ERA, 0.64 WHIP and 5:1 K:BB through 4.2 innings over five appearances, but he's still looking for his first hold as part of the bridge to the high-leverage duo of Raisel Iglesias and Robert Suarez.

  • R.J. Gordon SP | NYM

    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.

  • Angels' Grayson Rodriguez: Could throw from mound within week

    Rodriguez (shoulder) said Tuesday that he hopes to begin throwing from a mound within the next week, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Rodriguez has been dealing with right shoulder inflammation and "dead arm" since mid-March. He's been throwing up to 150 feet and stated Tuesday that he thinks he'll be ready to toss a bullpen session within the next week. Even if he's able to do so, the right-handed hurler is probably still multiple weeks away from a return, but he does seem to be making progress. "The arm is definitely getting strong quick," Rodriguez said Tuesday. "When I feel like I'm ready to throw the ball as hard as I want to throw it, that'll let me know. But with how I've been progressing the last week to two weeks, it's really given me a lot of confidence."

  • 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.

  • Max Scherzer SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Max Scherzer: Cleared to start Sunday

    The Blue Jays confirmed Scherzer (forearm) as their starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Twins in Toronto, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Toronto received some rare good news for its injury-ravaged rotation, as Scherzer looks like he won't end up missing a turn after he had been contending with right forearm tendinitis leading up to his most recent start in Monday's loss to the Dodgers. Though Scherzer was removed when the injury flared up after he pitched just two innings, he's apparently responded well to treatment over the last couple of days. Barring a setback coming out of his between-starts bullpen session Friday, Scherzer should be able to handle a relatively standard workload Sunday.
