He allowed three earned runs on three hits with a walk and three strikeouts, but he appeared healthy and encouraged, with the changeup and curveball praised by him and scouts. A next rehab start is planned in five to six days, possibly at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre or Somerset, as the Yankees monitor his progress toward a big-league return.
Seattle Mariners' pitcher Logan Gilbert felt great after his second rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma, throwing 60 pitches over three-plus innings with good velocity, and is being evaluated for his return to the team, with no specific timetable set yet.

Atlanta Braves pitcher Max Fried completed his latest rehab start, allowing three runs on six hits over 3-1/3 innings for Triple-A Gwinnett. The team will assess his performance and determine if he needs another rehab start before returning to the starting rotation. Fried has been recovering from a forearm strain. Meanwhile, Darius Vines, who has been on the 40-man roster, is progressing on his rehab assignment after being on the minor-league injured list due to right shoulder inflammation.

New York Mets pitcher Justin Verlander, who has been out with a teres major muscle strain, is expected to make his club debut against his former team, the Detroit Tigers, during an interleague road series that begins on May 2. Verlander will throw a three- or four-inning rehab start on Friday before rejoining the Mets.
