Muñoz surrendered seven hits, including homers to Elly De La Cruz and Noelvi Marte as he was unable to complete four frames in his shortest outing of the year. The 24-year-old rookie right-hander has been hit extremely hard in his first extended chance at the highest level, but the rebuilding Marlins don’t exactly have anyone else to turn to at the moment as they continue to play out the string. He’s not a recommended fantasy option if he’s given another turn in Miami’s starting rotation.

He also walked three, struck out three, and threw 32 of his 55 pitches for strikes. Tong allowed three extra-base hits, including two home runs. The 22-year-old now sports a 5.68 ERA on the season and seems to be falling further down the pecking order in terms of potential call-ups for this season.

Arroyo took Jose Urquidy deep in the first inning for his ninth home run of the season. It also gives him 30 RBI to go along with a .348 batting average and a 1.025 OPS. Oh, and those two steals also give him seven on the season. It may seem like Edwin Arroyo has been around a while because he was a major part of the Luis Castillo trade four years ago, but Arroyo is just 22 years old. His time in Cincinnati is coming very soon.

Jump had thrown four scoreless innings while striking out six, but he landed awkwardly on his plant leg and seemed to tweak something. He was fighting to stay in the game, but his four-seam fastball velocity went from 95 mph down to 91 after the potential injury, so the team removed him from the game. It may just be precautionary, but we’ll have to wait for word.

That extends Carrigg’s hitting streak to 14 games, and he has a hit in 21 of his last 22 games. On the season, the 24-year-old is hitting .367/.420/.557 with four home runs, 34 RBI, 26 steals, and a 24/13 K/BB ratio. He hit 15 home runs and stole 46 bases in Double-A last year, but the batting average was not good. This season, Carrigg is pulling the ball more often and hitting it on the ground 12 percent more often, making good use of his speed. He’s also improved his contact rate by 10 percent and cut his swinging strike rate down to nine percent. If these gains hold, he could be a major asset in Coors Field for batting average and stolen bases when he gets his chance.

It’s just another brutal turn for the 26-year-old. Berroa had Tommy John surgery in March of 2025 and was pitching in a game for the first time in over 15 months. He threw four pitches, all balls, and then was removed from the game with an injury. We don’t have any updates on the nature or extent of the injury yet, but it’s certainly not how anybody wanted his first rehab game to go.

While Polanco initially went on the injured list with a wrist issue, the Achilles problem happened first and has lingered. It also seems to be the bigger hindrance to this return right now, as Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said that Polanco’s Achilles tendon needs to be “asymptomatic” before knowing when he’ll be back. Polanco is performing some baseball activities, like taking batting practice, but there is no timeline for his return right now.

Wynn was designated for assignment by the Athletics last week and went through waivers unclaimed. He was just 3-for-39 to start the season and will look for a fresh start with a new organization.

Grichuk got the White Sox on the board with a go-ahead, 401-foot (108.5 mph EV) two-run blast in the opening inning, giving the White Sox a lead that they would never relinquish. He then strolled to the dish with the bases loaded in the third inning and added a two-run single that pushed the Sox’ advantage to 4-1. With his two-hit night, the 34-year-old lefty masher is now slashing .234/.260/.511 with three homers and nine RBI on the season.

Newcomb came on with the White Sox leading 6-3 in the eighth inning and despite allowing a leadoff single to Salvador Perez, managed to work a scoreless inning on just nine total pitches. He then returned for the ninth inning after the White Sox tacked on a run in the home half of the eighth, where he retired to side to send the White Sox’ faithful home happy. He has been a valuable addition to the White Sox’ bullpen this season, posting a strong 2.81 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and a 24/8 K/BB ratio across 25 2/3 innings.

The 31-year-old southpaw struck out four batters on the night while issuing two free passes. The Royals scratched out a run against him in the opening inning, then Kay blanked them until the seventh where he exited after allowing a leadoff triple to Kyle Isbel. Kay got 10 whiffs on 97 offerings on the night, posting a CSW of 27 percent. Now 3-1 on the season, he’ll carry a 4.61 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and a 29/19 K/BB ratio (41 innings) into Tuesday’s matchup against the Mariners in Seattle. He remains nothing more than a fringe streaming option in deeper mixed leagues.
