Baltimore placed Hiraldo on the 15-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to April 2, due to right shoulder inflammation, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hiraldo last pitched Tuesday, when he gave up three runs on two hits and a walk over one inning against Texas. He's since been diagnosed with inflammation in his pitching shoulder. Lefty hurler Cade Povich was recalled in a corresponding move.

DH CLE
Sun 4/5/26 10:48 AM

Valera (calf) is building up to physically handle playing multiple days per week, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Valera made his third appearance for Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, playing on back-to-back days for the first time on his rehab stint. That makes three games over four days for the outfielder. Valera is 4-for-13 (.308) with a double, a home run, two walks and three RBI since beginning the assignment, and he appears close to making his season debut for Cleveland.

Colson Montgomery

Sun 4/5/26 10:45 AM

Montgomery isn't in the White Sox's starting lineup Sunday versus Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Montgomery started each of Chicago's first eight games this season, posting a .207/.303/.414 slash line with two home runs, six RBI and a stolen base. Of his starts, six came at shortstop and two at third base. Miguel Vargas is at the hot corner for the White Sox on Sunday, while Tanner Murray -- who was called up prior to the contest -- will be making his major-league debut at shortstop against southpaw Eric Lauer.

Josh Smith
IF/DH TEX
Sun 4/5/26 10:38 AM

Smith started at second base and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
Smith is finally getting a stable position to play after serving as a super-utility player the last few seasons with Texas. Unfortunately, his impressive spring training (1.127 OPS, four HR) has not yet carried over into the regular season. Smith is 3-for-24 (.125) with one RBI and one steal over seven starts.

The Cubs recalled Roberts from Triple-A Iowa to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Guardians, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander failed to make Chicago's Opening Day roster, but he will receive a look in the majors during Sunday's twin bill. Roberts allowed six earned runs with a 6:2 K:BB over 10 big-league appearances last regular season.

Cam Smith
RF HOU
Sun 4/5/26 10:38 AM

Smith went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Saturday's 11-0 win over the A's.
EDGE Analysis
Despite starting the game on the bench for the first time this season, Smith put the finishing touches on Houston's blowout victory, launching his second homer of the year off Luis Medina in the eighth after entering the game as a defensive replacement the inning prior. The 23-year-old Smith has been swinging the bat well, logging at least one hit in his last five games. He's gone 6-for-15 with three extra-base hits in that span.

Garrett Acton

The Twins recalled Acton from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Minnesota acquired Acton in a trade with Miami on Thursday, and the right-hander will quickly get a chance to show the Twins what he can do. Acton worked just one MLB game last year while with the Rays, walking two batters in a hitless and scoreless inning, and he posted a 4:1 K:BB over two outings spanning 2.1 frames this season in the minors before being called up. In a corresponding roster move. Zak Kent was optioned to St. Paul.

Yordan Alvarez
LF/DH HOU
Sun 4/5/26 10:32 AM

Alvarez went 1-for-1 with an RBI, a run scored and four walks in Saturday's 11-0 rout over the A's.
EDGE Analysis
Alvarez's four walks matched a career high, as the slugger continues to reach base at a prolific rate in the early going -- his OBP is up to .590 through his first nine games. Through 39 plate appearances, Alvarez is 11-for-26 with three home runs, eight RBI and an eye-popping 1.475 OPS.

Riley Martin
RP CHC
Sun 4/5/26 10:32 AM

The Cubs recalled Martin from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander is taking the roster spot of Cade Horton (forearm), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Martin has yet to make his MLB debut but pitched well at Triple-A Iowa last year with a 2.71 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 80:35 K:BB across 63 innings (46 appearances).

Jacob Latz
P TEX
Sun 4/5/26 10:31 AM

Latz struck out two over a scoreless seventh inning in Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Latz, who made a fill-in start for Jacob deGrom last week, has seamlessly transitioned to the bullpen. Saturday's outing was his second straight scoreless relief appearance. The Rangers are concerned with the left-hander's ability to get deep into games as a starter, but Latz could be effective in shorter bursts.
