RP MIN
The Twins optioned Kent to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Kent has pitched in two games for Minnesota this season, allowing two earned runs on four hits (including two homers) while posting a 2:5 K:BB over 3.2 innings. He's struggled with his control in the minors and majors, so he may be asked to focus on that aspect of his game while with St. Paul. Right-handed pitcher Garrett Acton was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move.
Kai-Wei Teng SP HOU Sun 4/5/26 10:28 AM
Kai-Wei Teng
SP HOU
Teng threw 2.1 scoreless innings in Saturday's 11-0 win over the A's, allowing two hits while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
Teng has gotten off to a nice start this season, allowing just one run on four hits and one walk over 5.2 innings in his first three appearances. Teng, who posted a 6.37 ERA across 29.2 innings in a swing role with the Giants last season, earned a spot in Houston's Opening Day bullpen with Bennett Sousa (oblique), Enyel De Los Santos (knee), Nate Pearson (elbow) and Josh Hader (biceps) all opening the year on the IL.

15DCade Horton
SP CHC
The Cubs placed Horton (forearm) on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right forearm strain, retroactive to April 4, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander departed Friday's start against Cleveland due to forearm discomfort, and manager Craig Counsell announced after the game that an IL stint would be necessary. Horton has since been diagnosed with a strain, the severity of which is unclear. He'll be eligible to be reinstated April 19, but a longer absence wouldn't be surprising given the nature of the injury. Colin Rea is the likely candidate to step into the Cubs' starting rotation, but Javier Assad should also be in the mix.
Tanner Murray 2B CWS Sun 4/5/26 10:23 AM
Tanner Murray
2B CWS
The White Sox recalled Murray from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Outfielder Everson Pereira (ankle) landed on the 10-day IL on Sunday, and Murray was summoned from Charlotte to take his place. Murray is a super-utility type who has seen action all over the infield and in the outfield during his time in the minors. He had a nice spring with a .952 OPS with two homers, seven RBI and one stolen base for the big club and was slashing .304/.467/.606 with two homers, seven RBI and two thefts across six games in the minors this season prior to being recalled. Murray is starting at shortstop and batting seventh in what will be his MLB debut Sunday.

Rhys Hoskins
1B CLE
Hoskins is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second straight game on the bench for Hoskins despite the fact he's enjoyed a strong start to the campaign with four walks, two doubles and an .873 OPS through 18 plate appearances. Jose Ramirez is resting his legs as the designated hitter while CJ Kayfus enters the lineup in place of Hoskins, who will likely be back in action for Game 2.

CF CWS
The White Sox placed Pereira (ankle) on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 2, on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Pereira was pulled from Wednesday's game against Miami with what was originally deemed to be left ankle soreness. The injury is now being described as a sprain, and it will cost the outfielder at least 10 days of action. In a corresponding roster move. Chicago called infielder Tanner Murray up from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

Ashcraft walked one and struck out one over a scoreless seventh inning to earn a hold in Saturday's 2-0 win over Texas.
EDGE Analysis

Logan Allen SP CLE Sun 4/5/26 9:58 AM
Logan Allen
SP CLE
The Guardians recalled Allen from Triple-A Columbus to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander failed to crack Cleveland's starting rotation to begin the season and has instead stayed stretched out at Columbus. Allen pitched well in his lone Triple-A start, allowing one run on four hits with five strikeouts and a walk across five innings. Slade Cecconi and Parker Messick are penciled in as the Guardians' starting pitchers for the twin bill, setting up Allen to potentially work as a long reliever.
Ceddanne Rafaela 2B/CF BOS Sun 4/5/26 9:49 AM
Ceddanne Rafaela
2B/CF BOS
Rafaela is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Chris Henrique of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rafaela started the previous five games and posted a .779 OPS with a homer, an additional RBI and additional run scored, but he'll receive the day off Sunday. Jarren Duran will shift to center field and Roman Anthony to designated hitter, allowing Masataka Yoshida to pick up a start in left.
Tony Santillan RP CIN Sun 4/5/26 9:48 AM
Tony Santillan
RP CIN
Santillan struck out one over one scoreless inning to earn a hold in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Santillan threw a 1-2-3 eighth inning, setting down the top of Texas' order, to earn his third hold of the season. The right-hander's velocity remains noticeably down from last season, but it hasn't impacted his effectiveness. Santillan's given up one hit and four walks while striking out seven over five scoreless appearances (5.0 IP). He's been used in the eighth inning of all five outings.
