The move clears a 40-man roster spot for catcher Tuffy Gosewisch, who was claimed off waivers by the Mariners on Thursday. Aro, 26, owns a 6.55 ERA and 1.91 WHIP in 11 career innings at the major league level.

Paris homered off Cam Booser to break a 2-2 tie that had been in effect since the first inning. Paris started in center today as a result an injury to Jo Adell. It was his first start anywhere this year, though it’d probably make sense for the Angels to play him at second or short with Zach Neto out.

A 64-pitch quality start. The groundball will be key for keeping Kochanowicz in the majors, but he actually got more outs in the air today. He also struck out four, which is pretty good for him; he fanned a total of 25 batters in 11 starts as a rookie last season. Kochanowicz will face a major league offense in his second start next weekend against the Guardians.

Pitching in a one-run game, Jansen gave up a leadoff double to Andrew Vaughn, but he was able to escape from there, with a double-play ball from Brooks Baldwin ending the game. Jansen and Ben Joyce both pitched for a second straight day today, so the Angels might want to stay away from both on Monday. That could lead to a save opportunity for Brock Burke.

Martin had a nice day despite giving up 11 hard-hit balls and had just three missed swings on his 91 pitches, but it worked out against a mediocre Angels lineup. He’s set to take in the Tigers next weekend.

Maton never found a home in the majors last year, but now he’s the White Sox’s leadoff man against right-handers, even if he probably wouldn’t be on the roster at all if not for the late injuries to Josh Rojas, Brandon Drury and Mike Tauchman. It’s not something that figures to last for an overly long time.

Naylor singled and drew three walks in his first four plate appearances, ultimately scoring a run on a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning. He then delivered a go-ahead RBI double as part of the team’s eight-run uprising in the seventh inning then swiped third base and scored on an RBI single by Ryne Nelson (yes, the relief pitcher). The 27-year-old slugger is off to a nice start with his new club, hitting .400 (6-for-15) with three runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base.

The Diamondbacks had just cut their deficit to two runs on a two-run double by Geraldo Perdomo when Gurriel strolled to the dish against Eli Morgan. He jumped on a first-pitch fastball, pulverizing a 416-foot (107.5 mph EV) two-run shot that tied the game at 6-6. The 31-year-old outfielder also singled in the ballgame, finishing the afternoon 2-for-5. He’s now hitting .211 (4-for-19) with one long ball and three RBI on the season.

The left-hander struck out five opposing hitters on the afternoon while issuing three walks. All of the damage that was done against him came via the long ball, with Dansby Swanson crushing a solo shot in the second inning and Seiya Suzuki adding the dagger with a two-run blast in the sixth. Rodriguez generated eight swings and misses on 85 pitches on the day — six of them on his changeup — while recording a CSW of 26 percent. He’ll try once again to get in the win column when he does battle against the Nationals in Washington on Saturday.

The Cubs early 3-0 lead had been whittled down to just one run at 3-2 when Tucker launched a first-pitch curveball from Joe Mantiply for a 366-foot (97.2 mph EV) three-run shot in the eighth inning. Tucker also worked a walk in the ballgame, finishing the afternoon 1-for-4. He’s off to a quick start with his new club, hitting .250 (6-for-24) with a pair of homers, seven RBI and a stolen base.

Suzuki tagged Diamondbacks’ southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez for his 420-foot (106.0 mph EV) two-run blast in the sixth inning — extending the Cubs’ lead to 3-0. He also reached on a fielder’s choice and rode home on Kyle Tucker’s three-run shot in the eighth inning. With the two-hit attack, he’s now hitting .160 (4-for-25) with one homer and two RBI on the young season.
