The 29-year-old right-hander also issued five walks on the night while striking out five. All of the damage done against him came in the opening inning as Jake Bauers swatted a two-out, three-run homer. To Irvin’s credit though, he battled back and finished his day with four scoreless frames to keep the Nationals in the ballgame. He got seven whiffs on 100 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 22 percent. He’ll look to improve upon his unsightly 7.07 ERA and 1.50 WHIP when he does battle against the Pirates his next time out in Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

Donovan, on the IL with a groin strain, was supposed to play in two rehab games, but since last night’s was rained out, he’s returning after just one. He’ll presumably go right back into the leadoff spot for Seattle. Jhonny Pereda will likely go back to Triple-A, assuming that Cal Raleigh is fine to catch.

Burgos, 27, joins the Red Sox after posting a 5.25 ERA in three starts in the Mexican League. He also allowed one run in 3 2/3 innings for Puerto Rico in the WBC this spring. His major league experience consists of one appearance with the Giants in 2024.

Langeliers is back after three days away and presumably will start against the Phillies tonight, though the A’s have yet to reveal their lineup.

Wynns had to know he was losing his spot when the A’s acquired Jonah Heim, but he stuck around for a few extra days with Shea Langeliers going on the paternity list. Now that Langeliers is back, Wynns is gone. The 35-year-old was off to a 3-for-39 start at the plate this year, giving him a .077/.143/.077 line.

Pretty much as expected. Odds are that Domínguez is going to wind up on the IL even if the news on his shoulder isn’t the worst-case scenario. It’ll be interesting to see if that leads to the debut of Spencer Jones, who is hitting .258/.366/.592 with a 32 percent strikeout rate in Triple-A. If the Yankees don’t think he’s ready, perhaps they’d go to Yanquiel Fernández. They could also bring back Anthony Volpe and play José Caballero in the outfield, but that seems unlikely.

Devenski was supposed to return today from a two-game suspension for hitting Sal Stewart, but he’ll be down for at least a couple of weeks. The veteran has given up two runs and five hits in 2 1/3 innings for the Pirates.

Sanders gave up four runs in three innings in three appearances with the Pirates last month. He’ll rejoin the bullpen.

The move makes room for the newly acquired Trevor Richards. It’s Leasure’s first minor league demotion since the end of the 2024 season. One of the White Sox’s most reliable relievers while picking up seven saves last year, he’d given up five homers in 16 1/3 innings this season, resulting in a 6.06 ERA.

Suárez, who said he’s been swinging at 60-70 percent, is hoping to be cleared to begin activities at full strength. “I hope I start doing more on the field tomorrow, like BP, fielding with my team,” Suárez said. “I feel very well doing my stuff here. We have to make sure it’s healing really well to do it 100 percent.”

Jake Mangum gets the start in center. Ozuna takes a seat even though he is off to a nice start in May, having gone 6-for-19 with a homer, five RBI and three walks in five games.
