Cleveland Guardians — News
Kahlil Watson recalled by Guardians from Triple-A
Watson arrives as a position player call-up with no 2026 MLB stats. Cleveland (39-34, -4 run diff) is 3-7 in their last 10 games and needs depth, but Watson's Triple-A performance data is unavailable to assess immediate impact.
Guardians Release Kolby Allard From Triple-A
Allard posted a 10.38 ERA with 0 IP in 2026 before the release, marking Cleveland's second dismissal of the lefty this season. The move has minimal rotation impact given Williams (3.32 ERA, 9-3), Bibee (3.96 ERA), and Cecconi (4.60 ERA) remain in the mix.
Chase DeLauter Day to Day With Small Rib Fracture
DeLauter unavailable for tonight's 2-1 loss in Milwaukee but Cleveland (39-33, -3 run diff) retains flexibility with the injury classified as day-to-day rather than IL-bound. Guardians sit 4-6 in their last 10 games with limited offensive production (289 RS).
Guardians Place Angel Martínez On IL With Foot Fracture
Martínez's nondisplaced left foot fracture likely sidelines him well beyond 10 days during a stretch where Cleveland sits 39-33 with a -3 run differential and 4-6 record over their last 10. Petey Halpin replaces him with no 2026 MLB action to reference.
Chicago White Sox — News
White Sox Activate Kyle Teel From 60-Day IL
Teel returns after three months absent, but Chicago's catching situation remains unsettled with no 2026 stats available for either him or Edgar Quero to assess performance depth.
White Sox End Nine-Game Yankee Stadium Skid Behind Benintendi Pinch-Hit Grand Slam
Benintendi's .238 AVG and .322 xwOBA suggest this clutch moment was a rare bright spot rather than offensive consistency. CWS moves past a venue curse but remains in the AL Central conversation at their current win-loss record.
White Sox Place Everson Pereira On Injured List, Recall Junior Perez For MLB Debut
Pereira's concussion shelves a 25-year-old with a .232 AVG and .303 xwOBA through limited action. Junior Perez enters with no 2026 MLB stats, making this a depth play rather than a talent upgrade for Chicago's outfield.
White Sox Sign Javy Guerra To Minor League Deal
Guerra joins Chicago's minor league system after being released by Atlanta's Triple-A affiliate. The move addresses bullpen depth for a White Sox rotation but carries minimal immediate impact without current 2026 pitching stats.
Guardians Trade Nolan Jones To White Sox
Jones was outrighted off Cleveland's 40-man roster at spring's end, making this a depth move rather than a rotation loss. The $250K international bonus pool swap reflects minimal asset value in a transaction that clears space without disrupting a rotation already struggling with Bibee (4.09 ERA, 1-7) and Cecconi (4.83 ERA).
