Glasnow struck out a pair on the afternoon and didn’t allow a base on balls. He retired the first six hitters that he faced in order but returned to start the third inning where he exited after surrendering a leadoff double to Bryan Ramos. The 31-year-old right-hander got a whopping six swings and misses on only 22 pitches on the day — three on his slider, two on his curveball and one on his fastball — while registering a scintillating CSW of 41 percent. As long as he can avoid the injured list, expect elite results from Glasnow once again in 2025.

Contreras will begin the second game of the doubleheader on the bench with Gary Sanchez earning the start behind the plate and hitting fifth.

Lee missed a pair of games due to illness, but he’s well enough to be in the lineup for Saturday’s bout against Steven Matz and the Tampa Bay pitching staff.

Corbin threw 74 pitches, with 53 of them landing for strikes. He reportedly averaged 91.2 mph with his sinker, which is right around what he was at wit the offering in 2025. It’s possible Corbin will make one more minor league start, but with Toronto needing help in the rotation, that next outing could come with the Blue Jays.

Schmitt was scratched from the lineup Friday with tightness in his back, and he’ll miss Saturday’s game and likely Sunday’s as well. Consider the 27-year-old day-to-day. Christian Koss has started taking reps at first base before games and could be an option at some point, but Jerar Encarnacion likely will see the not-as-hot corner starts for now.

Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters that Walls was “feeling great” after the contest. The 29-year-old was placed on the injured list with an oblique strain just before the season, and is expected to return — assuming no setbacks — near the end of April.

Donovan exited Saturday’s game with leg discomfort, and he unsurprisingly will miss at least one more contest. Luke Raley is moving up to the leadoff spot with Donovan out, and Leo Rivas will handle third base and hit ninth.

Henderson will be called up as the 27th player and get the start in the second game of the twin-billing. Brandon Sproat will follow the right-hander, so it’s likely Henderson will only get a time through the lineup at most. There’s long-term upside in the 24-year-old’s profile, but there are probably better options on Saturday’s slate.

Mitchell put the Brewers on the board in the first inning with a two-run double. He then extended the lead in the third with a three-run blast off Luinder Avila to make it five RBI on the day with his first homer of the season. The 27-year-old outfielder is 6-for-18 (.333) with one homer, three steals, and ten RBI in the early going. His power and speed upside comes with lots of strikeouts, but Mitchell is a solid streamer against right-handed pitching in deeper leagues.

Caglianone had a solid day at the plate, reaching three times against the Brewers. His single in the second inning was one of the hardest hit batted balls this season, coming off the bat at 116.1 mph. He then walked in the fourth inning, then knocked his second hit of the game in the sixth, this one just 106.1 mph. The 23-year-old slugger is 8-for-21 (.381) so far while still looking for his first homer and RBI.

Megill took the mound in the bottom of the ninth with a three-run lead for the save chance against the Royals. He issued two walks to bring the tying run to the plate, then struck out Vinnie Pasquantino to end the game with his second save of the season. Megill’s usage so far suggests he’s going to get most of, if not all, of Milwaukee’s save chances as long as he’s healthy and effective.
