Braves optioned RHP Anthony Molina to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Molina did his job with a pair of scoreless frames in his Braves debut on Friday against his former organization at Coors Field. The 24-year-old reliever has made 53 appearances in the big leagues since 2024, with nearly all of those coming with the Rockies.

Pirates placed RHP Chris Devenski on the 15-day injured list with an illness.

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.

Jordan Leasure

CWS Relief Pitcher #49

White Sox optioned RHP Jordan Leasure to Triple-A Charlotte.

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.

Eugenio Suárez

CIN 3rd Baseman #28

Eugenio Suárez will undergo an MRI on Friday to check on the progress of his oblique strain.

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.”

Marcell Ozuna

PIT Designated Hitter #24

Marcell Ozuna is on the bench Thursday with Oneil Cruz serving as a DH against the Diamondbacks.

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.

Tarik Skubal

DET Starting Pitcher #29

According to the New York Post’s Jon Heyman, Tarik Skubal is aiming to return in just four-to-six weeks after having one loose body removed from his elbow on Wednesday.

Heyman, who presumably received word from Skubal’s agent, Scott Boras, says the surgery “was such a success [that Skubal] could start working out within days.” Skubal was not placed on the 60-day IL, so a June return might be possible.

Sal Stewart

CIN 1st Baseman #27

Sal Stewart is playing second base for the fifth time this season Thursday against the Cubs.

Stewart now has some extra eligibility and value in a bunch of leagues. The Reds have Matt McLain at shortstop and Elly De La Cruz at DH today. Spencer Steer is playing first base,

Matt McLain

CIN 2nd Baseman #9

With Elly De La Cruz serving as a DH, Matt McLain is starting at shortstop Thursday for the first time this season.

McLain started four games at shortstop last year, and he did play four innings there earlier this season. McLain is also batting second against a lefty today after hitting eighth and ninth against righties in his previous three starts.

Jasson Domínguez

NYY Left Fielder #24

Jasson Domínguez left Thursday’s game in the first inning after crashing into the wall while making a catch.

Domínguez slammed into the wall making a terrific play and then fell face-first to the ground. He appeared to injure his left shoulder, which was the first part of him to make contact with the wall, and he also seemed dazed afterwards, which led to the Yankees choosing to have him carted off. Ryan McMahon replaced him in the game, with Amed Rosario moving from third to the outfield.

Royce Lewis

MIN 3rd Baseman #23

Royce Lewis is on the bench for a second straight game Thursday against the Nationals.

Lewis is hitting .169/.270/.312 with a 30 percent strikeout rate that’s much higher than usual. He’ll probably be back in the lineup Friday, but if this lasts much longer, a Triple-A stint could be in order. Tristan Gray is playing third base today.
